This kind of episode is like Christmas for me. I love talking about planning but with a compassionate, flexible bent. We do not need anymore rigidity or weird shame spirals about failed plans. No thank you. We’re just living our lives, putting things in place where we can, intending to do whatever we decide, but then lowkey expecting that not all of those things will happen. We need to be flexible with both our plans and ourselves. Today, I’m going to give some ideas on how to approach both.  Helpful Companion Links Order my new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.
