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.

You can be faithful, tired, and frustrated at the same time—and still lead with love. We dive into the importance of authentic presence and why growth and transformation aren’t about perfection. It’s about showing up as your real self, allowing yourself to feel what you feel without shame, and redefining what resilience really means. Dr. Phyllis shares a practical three-step tool to help you check in with yourself when frustration arises: Admit – acknowledge your feelings without judgment Allow – give yourself permission to feel Align – choose how to respond in a way that reflects your values and faith This episode is a reminder that being human, with all your emotions and imperfections, actually makes you a stronger caregiver, leader, and follower of God.","meta_description":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis joins us to explore what happens when faith, exhaustion, and the pressures of real life all show up at once.
