I spent my whole life planning. I controlled what I could control. I orchestrated outcomes. I had a blueprint for everything.

And then real life arrived.

In this episode, I'm sharing my story — the unplanned seasons that shattered my carefully crafted plans and forced me to discover what it really means to trust God when things don't go as expected.

I'm Shile Bello, host of The Planned Life Podcast. This is my why. This is how I got here. And this is why I created a space for the stories that don't fit the plan.

TOPICS COVERED:
-The pressure of planning perfection
-When control becomes a prison
-The season that changed everything
-Learning to surrender
-Finding faith in the unplanned
-Why I created this podcast

THE ANCHOR QUESTION:
"What have you learned about God through the things that have not gone as planned in your life?"
