Podcast Overview

Are you tired of circling on autopilot? 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. Below the Circle with Dr. Phyllis is the landing plan for the woman who is ready to come down. Dr. Phyllis is a Life Landing Coach, physician, author, and ordained minister. She spent years circling — gripping the controls, chasing shiny objects, running on autopilot, performing strength while running on fumes. She landed. And the ground held. Now she's on the ground — guiding women in. Not above you. Not in the cockpit with you. On the ground — already landed, already stable — talking you through the descent, signaling you in, and making sure everything is ready for you when you arrive. Through The Below the Circle Landing Plan, a transformative coaching methodology, she guides you through: ✈️ The Circling — naming where you are and what autopilot has cost you 🔔 The Recognition — hearing God's voice and accepting that change is needed 💡 The Decision — surrendering control and trusting what you can't see 🛬 The Approach — gaining clarity and aligning with where God is guiding you 💧 The Release — pouring out the emotional weight you've been carrying 🤍 The Grace — giving yourself compassion through the process 👣 The Landing — touching ground and coming home to yourself 🏠 The Arrival — adjusting to stillness and showing up daily ⛽ The Groundwork — refueling with presence, purpose, and joy Because life is a series of landings and takeoffs. And every woman deserves a landing plan. Each episode is a ground crew talk — bold, permission-giving, poetic, real, and warm. Whether it's a solo conversation, a guest story, or a guided reflection, every episode is designed to help you disengage autopilot and reclaim your life. God is in the tower. He cleared you to land. Dr. Phyllis is on the ground — guiding you in. This is for the woman who is done circling. Who is ready — even if ready feels more like terrified. Who is brave enough to begin the descent. You've circled long enough. And you don't have to land alone. Full plate. Empty soul. It's not too late to land. Stop circling. Start landing.

What is Joy In The Pivot?

Are you tired of circling on autopilot? 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.

Below the Circle with Dr. Phyllis is the landing plan for the woman who is ready to come down.

Dr. Phyllis is a Life Landing Coach, physician, author, and ordained minister. She spent years circling — gripping the controls, chasing shiny objects, running on autopilot, performing strength while running on fumes. She landed. And the ground held.

Now she's on the ground — guiding women in. Not above you. Not in the cockpit with you. On the ground — already landed, already stable — talking you through the descent, signaling you in, and making sure everything is ready for you when you arrive.

Through The Below the Circle Landing Plan, a transformative coaching methodology, she guides you through:

✈️ The Circling — naming where you are and what autopilot has cost you 🔔 The Recognition — hearing God's voice and accepting that change is needed 💡 The Decision — surrendering control and trusting what you can't see 🛬 The Approach — gaining clarity and aligning with where God is guiding you 💧 The Release — pouring out the emotional weight you've been carrying 🤍 The Grace — giving yourself compassion through the process 👣 The Landing — touching ground and coming home to yourself 🏠 The Arrival — adjusting to stillness and showing up daily ⛽ The Groundwork — refueling with presence, purpose, and joy

Because life is a series of landings and takeoffs. And every woman deserves a landing plan.

Each episode is a ground crew talk — bold, permission-giving, poetic, real, and warm. Whether it's a solo conversation, a guest story, or a guided reflection, every episode is designed to help you disengage autopilot and reclaim your life.

God is in the tower. He cleared you to land. Dr. Phyllis is on the ground — guiding you in.

This is for the woman who is done circling. Who is ready — even if ready feels more like terrified. Who is brave enough to begin the descent.

You've circled long enough. And you don't have to land alone.

Full plate. Empty soul. It's not too late to land.

Stop circling. Start landing.
