Below the Circle with Dr. Phyllis is the podcast for women ready to stop circling and start landing. You've been flying for years. Maybe decades. Hands gripped on the controls. Autopilot engaged. Circling the same patterns, the same way of doing life — over and over again. You're the high-achieving professional who never drops a ball. The ministry leader who pours out but never refuels. The mom running on fumes. The strong friend who holds everything together so seamlessly that no one thinks to ask if you're okay. You call it resilience. You call it strength. You call it love. But somewhere underneath all of it — underneath the doing and the fixing and the holding — there's a whisper you've been trying to ignore: \"This isn't working anymore.\" Your plate is full. Your soul is empty. You're not broken. You're not weak. You've just been flying so high for so long that you've been flying right over your own life. And everything you've been searching for — your joy, your peace, your identity, your dreams, your purpose — has been below the circle the entire time.

So many people are juggling a lot while still showing up with a smile, acting like everything is fine. But mistakes happen, plans fall apart, and things do not always go the way we expect. Dr. Phyllis shares a personal story about being late and openly admitting she had a lot going on. That moment leads into a conversation about grace, honesty, and what it looks like to keep moving forward even when you are not showing up in the way you want. The episode centers on the idea of progress, not perfection. Dr. Phyllis reminds listeners that those “hit the fan” moments are part of life, and that self forgiveness matters more than self blame. She offers a simple approach to stepping out of autopilot, noticing self judgment, choosing a kinder response, and redirecting toward the next positive step. http://drphyllishayesreams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/ https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams","meta_description":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis talks about something many people struggle with: being kind to themselves when they fall short.
