156. It's Okay to Regroup
Description
What if you do not need to start over, but simply need to regroup?
Sometimes life moves so quickly that we keep doing what we have always done without stopping to ask whether it still fits. We keep working, caring, serving, and showing up. But somewhere along the way, habit can begin choosing the direction for us.
In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares why regrouping is not a sign of failure. It is a chance to notice where you are, reconnect with where you want to go, and make changes before life forces you to. She also shares her own season of regrouping with Below the Circle and why she is creating more space for connection, reflection, and community.
