You love God. You care deeply for others. You carry responsibility well. From the outside, your life may look successful, meaningful, even inspiring. But somewhere along the way, you became disconnected from yourself. You keep going because that's what you've always done. You show up. You serve. You achieve. You hold everything together. Yet beneath the full calendar and endless responsibilities is a quiet question you can't ignore: Is this really the life God created me to live? Below the Circle is the podcast for women who are ready to stop circling on autopilot and start landing—creating intentional Landing Moments™ that reconnect them to God, themselves, and their lives. I'm Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams—physician, ordained minister, Life Landing Coach, and creator of the Landing Plan™. After years of striving, performing, and living disconnected from my own life, I discovered that the answer wasn't doing more. It was learning to land.

She reflects on her years as a physician, the fear she experienced when retiring, and the realization that medicine was not her final destination. Stepping away required more than belief. It required action, surrender, and a willingness to stop reacting and start choosing intentionally. Dr. Phyllis introduces the TRUST framework as a practical guide for navigating uncertainty. TRUST begins with taking a pause to create space instead of reacting. It continues with reflecting through prayer and meditation to gain clarity. The next step is unpacking fears honestly rather than ignoring them. From there comes surrendering the outcome and releasing the need for control. Finally, TRUST calls for taking the next small step forward, even when the full picture is not yet clear. This episode reminds listeners that agency is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting God in the next step and allowing faith to shape how decisions are made. http://drphyllishayesreams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/ https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams","meta_description":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis explores the shift from living on autopilot to stepping into agency and trusting God with your next step, especially when the…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1253,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/below-the-circle-6619723/episodes/120-from-autopilot-to-agency-trusting-god-with-your-next-step/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/below-the-circle-6619723/120-from-autopilot-to-agency-trusting-god-with-your-next-step.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
