What helps when life suddenly becomes something you never planned for?
In today's episode of We Didn’t Plan For This, Adrienne shares where she is now after the sudden loss of her husband, Brian.
If you listened to Episodes 164 and 166 of How Yoga Changed My Life a Podcast, you already know the story of what happened. But this episode isn’t about retelling that story.
It’s about what comes next.
Grief rearranges your priorities whether you’re ready or not.
Adrienne reflects honestly on the reality of grief — navigating loss while raising her daughters, facing unexpected financial challenges, and stepping into a life she never imagined.
She shares the practices that are helping her move through this season, including meditation, breath work, community support, lowered expectations, and gentle movement.
These practices aren’t fixing grief. But they are helping her continue showing up, one breath at a time.
In each episode, we wrap up with a short guided “pause before you get out of the car” practice — a moment to breathe, reset, and gather yourself before stepping back into your day.
If you’re navigating grief, loss, or a season you didn’t plan for, this conversation is for you.
