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.

Or do you keep moving forward simply because it feels easier than stopping? Some seasons are spent reacting instead of pausing, seeking fulfillment in roles and routines that never truly feed the soul. Decisions stop being brought to God, and life runs on auto pilot, letting habit guide the way. Repeated outcomes often appear without notice whether in toxic relationships, unfulfilling work, or patterns that feel impossible to escape. Subconscious choices keep familiar habits alive, even when they no longer serve. Expecting different results while repeating the same decisions only leads to frustration. Breaking free from auto pilot requires courage. Courage to recognize patterns, courage to ask the hard questions, and courage to make different choices. Old habits will not lead to new promises. Dr. Phyllis shares a practical tool to start shifting: identify one decision repeated out of habit, uncover the fear that keeps it in place, and take one courageous step this week to break the cycle. One intentional choice can open the door to a life aligned with purpose rather than routine. For anyone ready to stop reacting and start choosing courage, this episode provides guidance to take the first step and move toward lasting change. http://drphyllishayesreams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/ https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams","meta_description":"Have you ever caught yourself asking, is this really where I’m supposed to be?
