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. Each episode offers practical wisdom, biblical encouragement, honest conversations, and simple practices to help you recognize when you've drifted into autopilot and gently retur…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:17:31.951986+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/below-the-circle-6619723"},"episode":{"title":"#122-From Impulse to Intention: Pressing Pause Before You Say Yes","slug":"122-from-impulse-to-intention-pressing-pause-before-you-say-yes","published_at":"2026-01-15T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/below-the-circle-6619723/122-from-impulse-to-intention-pressing-pause-before-you-say-yes","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/below-the-circle-6619723","url":"https://drphyllishayesreams.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d233fed4-e3b8-4f4f-91b4-dd598ceeab12.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis explores what happens in the space between the urge to say yes and the decision to follow through. She shares a personal story from her caregiving role, along with an unexpected lesson that came from caring for her dogs. What began as small, reactive moments turned into a deeper realization about how often we move straight from impulse into action without checking in first. Every decision is a doorway, and most of us walk through way too fast. Dr. Phyllis introduces the pause process, a simple, practical tool you can use before making both major decisions and everyday yeses. This isn’t about overthinking. It’s about creating enough space to notice what’s driving the urge. She breaks down how to slow the moment, recognize urgency for what it is, and choose intentionally instead of reflexively. Not every need is ours to meet. Not every opportunity is ours to own. If you’ve ever said yes and immediately felt overwhelmed, resentful, or full of regret, this episode offers a grounded way to do things differently next time.","meta_description":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis explores what happens in the space between the urge to say yes and the decision to follow through.
