 The best-laid plans… often crash into real life. 

You map out your career, family time, and a perfectly color0coded planner, and then? Chaos. 

A shift runs late. Your kiddo spikes a fever. And the sitter cancels. 

Suddenly, everything you were holding together feels like it’s unraveling.

What if there’s a third option? What if the answer isn’t pushing harder, but learning how to flex?

In today’s episode, I share a simple 4-step framework to help you respond to life’s curveballs with confidence, clarity, and a little grace. 

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure what to do next, you’re in the right place. Time to dive in!
