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.

Dr. Phyllis shares why she made the intentional decision to slow down instead of adding more. Less running around. Fewer new responsibilities. More space to tend to her own health and to simply live, grow, and experience life as it unfolds. We talk about what happens when you stop worrying about what other people think and start listening to what God is actually asking of you. When the only voices that matter are His and your own, something shifts. There is freedom in choosing to take care of yourself without guilt. This conversation explores where God may be inviting us to rest, how rest brings us back into alignment, and why restoration is not selfish. It is necessary. If you are entering this year tired, overwhelmed, or feeling the pull to slow down but unsure if you are allowed to, this episode will meet you right there. http://drphyllishayesreams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/ https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams","meta_description":"As the new year begins, this episode is an invitation to pause.
