Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill unpack a recent “miss” in their relationship—one that reflects a broader season of emotional exhaustion, grief, and life transition. From losing Glenn’s mother to living a nomadic life out of a suitcase, the Hills open up about the cumulative weariness they’ve been carrying. Phyllis courageously names the fear of “forever missing each other” and the exhaustion that sometimes keeps her from even wanting to analyze the disconnection. This episode is not about offering quick fixes—it’s a raw, heartfelt look at what it means to live through heavy seasons and still choose connection. Whether you’re in burnout, walking through grief, or feeling stuck in cycles of disconnection, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone, and there’s hope in the wide lens.
