About We Didn't Plan for This Podcast

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.

   15. The Writers of Our Shows Need to Be Fired

   Send Us a Message When life gets so ridiculous, even Hollywood would reject the script for being too unbelievable. Life has become so ridiculously over-the-top that even Hollywood would say, “Okay, that's a little much. Nobody's going to believe that all happened to one person.” And yet, here we are. Living through plot twists nobody approved, with a production budget of approximately $14 and absolutely no stunt doubles. The episode isn't about whose life is harder. It's about how somet...
