We Didn’t Plan for This Podcast
Life rarely goes according to plan. People definitely don’t.

We Didn’t Plan for This is about the stuff nobody prepares you for — grief, friendship, family, relationships, getting older, starting over, changing your mind, and figuring out who you are when life looks nothing like you thought it would.

Some episodes go deep. Some go completely off the rails. Most do a little of both.

And then there’s People Be Peopling — our slightly less serious investigation into the weird, hilarious, wildly relatable things humans do. Why do we tell our hairdresser our entire life story? Why do strangers confess their deepest secrets on airplanes? Why do group texts become emotional war zones? And why does every family have that one person?

Because sometimes life is heartbreaking. Sometimes people are ridiculous. And sometimes the best way through all of it is to sit down with someone you love and say, “Okay…what the hell was that?”

Real stories. Real conversations. Very little pretending we have it all figured out.

We didn’t plan for this. But here we are.

In Case of Emergency, Press Play: Meditation for real life — especially when real life is being a lot.


In Case of Emergency, Press Play is a collection of short, approachable guided meditations for anxiety, stress, grief, overthinking, self-doubt, sleep, letting go, finding focus, and those days when your nervous system seems to have its own agenda.


No perfect meditation practice required. No need to clear your mind, sit perfectly still, or suddenly become a person who has everything figured out.

Just press play.


Each episode gives you a few minutes to breathe, ground, reset, and reconnect with yourself — whether you’re starting your morning, lying awake at night, sitting in your car before walking into work, navigating something hard, or simply needing a minute.


Some days you need calm.
Some days you need perspective.
Some days you just need someone to remind you to breathe.


When your heart says one thing, your brain says another, and your nervous system starts doing interpretive dance…press play.

    This week on We Didn’t Plan for This, Adrienne and Nora are questioning the traditions, expectations, and unwritten rules of the holiday season.

    But underneath the holiday chaos is something a little more complicated. For Adrienne, this is the first holiday season without Brian, and figuring out how to celebrate when someone is missing from the table brings an entirely different kind of pressure.

    How do you honor the holidays you loved without trying to recreate something that can never be exactly the same? And what if this year, instead of making everything magical, we just made it manageable?

    There are laughs, some uncomfortable truths, a little grief, plenty of holiday opinions, and a rapid-fire round that may permanently ruin matching family pajamas.

    Because apparently, We Didn’t Plan for the Holidays Either.

    Amelie had what many would call a dream job—performing with Cirque du Soleil.

    She stepped away to have a baby, fully expecting to return.

    But when she did… the job she thought would be waiting for her wasn’t there anymore.

    In this episode, we talk about what it feels like to lose something you worked your whole life for… especially when you thought you were only pressing pause.

    This isn’t just about performing or losing a role.

    It’s about losing something you built your identity around…and figuring out who you are without it.

    Amelie didn’t plan for this either.

    If you’ve ever had something not be there when you thought it would be… this conversation will resonate.
