Below the Circle™ with Dr. Phyllis Have you ever stopped in the midst of living your life and wondered, "How did I get here?" Or looked back over the years and realized that while you've learned how to persevere, keep going, and do what needs to be done, you haven't always taken time to acknowledge how you're feeling or how life's experiences have shaped you? Welcome to Below the Circle™, a podcast where Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams invites you into honest conversations about life, faith, identity, relationships, and the lessons we learn along the way. As a life coach, physician, ordained minister, and caregiver, Dr. Phyllis shares personal stories, reflections, and insights from her own journey—including what she's still learning about herself and the seasons of life. These aren't conversations about having all the answers or becoming someone else. They're opportunities to pause, look beneath the surface, and consider what resonates with your own story. Because sometimes, understanding where we are begins with acknowledging what we've experienced, how we feel, and what matters most to us today. It's not too late to reconnect with yourself and experience the life you're living. It's not too late to land. Continue the conversation with Dr. Phyllis on Substack at https://thedrphyllis.com.
