We Didn’t Plan For This… is a new special series from the hosts of How Yoga Changed My Life about navigating life transitions, and unexpected change in real time.

After Adrienne's sudden loss of her husband, so many of you reached out with the same words: “I didn’t plan for this either.” A diagnosis. A body that changed. A marriage that shifted. A child who is struggling. A dream that fell apart.

This first episode sets the tone for the series. We’re not rehashing the details of what happened. We’re talking about where we are now — and how yoga, breath, and small daily practices can help us keep showing up through grief, parenting, identity shifts, and hard seasons.

This is not trauma-informed certification language. It’s not five steps to resilience. It’s honest conversation about strength, energy, work, friendship, our bodies, and ordinary days that don’t look the way we expected.

We’re not trying to fix anything.

We’re living it — as it’s happening.

And at the end of each episode, we’ll pause together before stepping back into our day.

We didn’t plan for this.

But we’re here.
