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.

Not through big, overwhelming changes, but through small actions that actually build momentum. If you’ve been avoiding your next step or sitting in overthinking, this is your reminder that enough is enough. We can’t let our thoughts run the show. At some point, you have to shift your focus from staying stuck to taking action. Dr. Phyllis shares her framework for stepping forward, even when things feel unclear or uncomfortable. She walks through why imperfect action matters and how those small moves are often the thing that creates real change. This episode will push you to ask yourself what you can do next, instead of staying in the loop of thinking about it. One simple place to start is sitting down with your journal and getting honest about the steps in front of you. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this is the nudge to move.","meta_description":"In this episode, Dr. Phyllis talks about what it really looks like to move forward when you feel stuck.
