Life doesn’t always unfold the way we planned.

This year on How Yoga Changed My Life, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the moments that change everything—the diagnoses, the losses, the uncertainty, the unexpected turns none of us saw coming.

What we’ve learned is that when life gets hard, coping skills matter. Breath matters. Rest matters. Learning how to come back to yourself matters.

In Case of Emergency, Press Play is a collection of guided meditations, breath work practices, and short moments of pause designed for the days when life feels heavy, overwhelming, or simply too loud.

These aren’t designed to fix you. They’re here to support you.

So whether you’re lying awake at 2 a.m., sitting in your car before walking into something difficult, or simply needing a moment to catch your breath—press play.

Because we didn’t plan for this… but we’re here.

Time passes equally for all of us, yet our experience of it can feel vastly different. An hour spent with someone you love can disappear in an instant, while a few minutes of waiting can feel endless.

In this guided meditation, Chris Kennedy invites you to explore the difference between clock time and lived time. Through breath, awareness, and gentle reflection, you’ll be guided away from deadlines, schedules, and urgency—and back to the present moment where life is actually happening.

Whether you’re feeling rushed, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply longing to slow down, this practice offers a chance to step beyond the clock and reconnect with the richness of now.

Take a breath. Let go of the need to keep up. For the next few minutes, there is nowhere else to be.

What happens after the beginning?

After spending sometime inside our special series, We Didn’t Plan for This, this conversation felt like a return to the roots of what How Yoga Changed My Life has always been about — how practice evolves alongside real life.

Three years after his first appearance on How Yoga Changed My Life, Chris Kennedy returns with a completely different perspective on practice, teaching, creativity, and life.

In Chris’ first interview, the core theme was really about beginning before you feel “ready.” His story centered around discipline, transformation, and consistency. Along the way, he discovered parts of himself through Yoga that extended far beyond the mat.

Chris has intentionally taken classes from more than 100 different Yoga teachers to study not just what teachers teach, but how they teach. What creates connection? What makes a class memorable? What actually makes people feel something?

Chris shares how he lost his father a year ago, and how that loss shifted his relationship with time, work, and joy. This conversation is thoughtful, reflective, and full of reminders that Yoga is often less about perfection — and more about paying attention.

Grief and grieving aren't really the same thing. 

The stages of grief happened before death—through fear, anticipation, exhaustion, denial, and watching life change in real time. What came after wasn’t stages. It was grieving.

In this week's episode, Adrienne and Campbell talk about anticipatory grief, surviving the aftermath of loss, and the messy, nonlinear reality of learning to live after someone dies.

This week on We Didn’t Plan For This…We Have Notes.

Recorded while driving home from a road trip, Nora and Adrienne take a break from the heavier conversations to talk about the strange, hilarious, mildly concerning reality of being around other humans.

Sometimes life gets heavy. And sometimes…people are just weird. From reading glasses and emergency charging cables to setting four alarms and preparing for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

A lighthearted episode about getting older, being overstimulated, becoming aggressively prepared for every situation, and reaching the beautiful phase of life where fewer and fewer f**ks are given.

Because apparently…They have notes.

A conversation with Nora on preparation, strength, recovery, and redefining what better means. 

Nora is back—this time in the middle of recovery.Recorded from her bed, sharing a mic and space with her dog, Klaus, this conversation is exactly what it sounds like—unfiltered, real, and happening right in the middle of it.

The last thing she remembers before surgery? Her gurney being run into a wall. And somehow… that’s a pretty accurate entry point into what healing has actually felt like.

Somewhere between Adrienne’s widow brain and Nora still on pain meds… this conversation unfolds the way real ones do—imperfect, a little scattered, and completely honest. 

They also talk about the parts no one really prepares you for:

• What breathing feels like after surgery.
• Finding strength when your body has limits.
• What it takes to let people support you when you’re used to being the one to support.

This isn’t a before-and-after story. It’s a conversation about being in the middle of where healing is messy, slow, and not always visible. If you’re going through something—or supporting someone who is—this episode will meet you there.

If this episode resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who might need it… or send us a message.

Because the truth is… we didn’t plan for this—but we’re here.

Amelie had what many would call a dream job—performing with Cirque du Soleil.

She stepped away to have a baby, fully expecting to return.

But when she did… the job she thought would be waiting for her wasn’t there anymore.

In this episode, we talk about what it feels like to lose something you worked your whole life for… especially when you thought you were only pressing pause.

This isn’t just about performing or losing a role.

It’s about losing something you built your identity around…and figuring out who you are without it.

Amelie didn’t plan for this either.

If you’ve ever had something not be there when you thought it would be… this conversation will resonate.

Three Months Later: What Actually Helps

Three months after Brian’s passing, Adrienne sits down with her daughter Campbell for a conversation they didn’t plan and didn’t script. 

Together, they reflect on the experience of being on the receiving end of support—what helped, what didn’t, and what it feels like when everything has changed. They also talk about therapy and what it’s like to take that step when it wasn’t something they expected.

This isn’t an episode with answers. It’s simply a real conversation about where they are right now.

At the end of every episode, we take a “pause before you get out of the car.”

Because sometimes you just need a second… before going back to everything.

For anyone navigating something difficult—or supporting someone who is—you’re not alone.

This episode contains candid discussion of grief, loss, widowhood, and emotional overwhelm. Please listen in a way that feels supportive to you, and pause or skip if needed.

Your breath is a bridge between your nervous system, your body, and your brain.

In this solo episode of We Didn’t Plan For This, Adrienne talks about one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have — our breath.

Breathing isn’t just something we do in yoga class. It’s something we use to cope, recover, and sometimes just get through the day. Breathing is interesting because it’s automatic and you can control it.

In Episode #172, Nora shared how she didn't plan on being diagnosed with breast cancer. She did everything possible in her life to prevent it. Yet, cancer doesn't discriminate. Doctors and physical therapists focus on breath after major surgery, because breathing helps the body recover, calms the nervous system, and helps regulate stress and pain.

So to help prepare her, Adrienne shares why breathing matters, why it can be hard to focus on, and even a few techniques you can use in real life. 

This episode is for Nora.

And for anyone else who is in a season they didn’t plan for.

If you don’t know what to do, start with the breath.
