    189. We Didn't Plan For This: Dad's Chili

    My Dad’s Chili  What reminds you of the people you love? For some, it’s a song. A photograph. A place. A favorite recipe. For Adrienne’s daughter Mallory, it was her Dad’s chili. In this special episode, Mallory shares her college admissions essay she wrote after losing her dad halfway through her junior year of high school. Through one simple memory, she captures what grief feels like, how life changes after loss, and the unexpected ways the people we love continue to shape us long after they’re gone. This isn’t just a story about losing a father. It’s a story about the constants we inherit from the people who loved us—their values, their laughter, their traditions, and the pieces of them we carry forward every day. Whether you’re grieving someone you love or simply cherishing the people who are still here, we hope this episode reminds you that love doesn’t disappear. Sometimes it lives in the smallest things. Sometimes… it lives in a bowl of chili. When you’re missing someone you love, press play.

    15. In Case of Emergency, Press Play: Courage

    Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing to move forward even when fear riding shotgun beside you.

Whether you’re facing a difficult conversation or simply trying to make it through today, this practice will help you reconnect with the quiet strength that’s already within you.

    188. We Didn't Plan For This: Wait...You Said No Chemo?!

    Wait...I thought you said no chemo?! Those are words no one wants to hear after believing the hardest part is over. In this follow-up conversation, Nora shares what happened when her treatment plan changed. After preparing for one surgery, she found herself facing a second surgery, waiting on pathology results, and confronting the possibility of chemotherapy. Together, Adrienne and Nora talk about the emotional roller coaster of changing plans, the anxiety of waiting, the pressure of returning to work before recovery feels complete, and the strange disconnect that can happen between your mind and your body after surgery. If you’ve ever thought, “I thought I was through the hardest part,” this episode is for you.

Maybe everything feels uncertain and your mind won’t stop trying to solve tomorrow before today is even over. This meditation is an invitation to loosen your grip on needing to know. You don’t have to have all the answers tonight. You don’t have to make every decision today. For just a few minutes, allow yourself to rest in the space between what has been and what comes next, trusting that clarity can arrive in its own time. When you don’t know what’s next, press play.

    12. In Case of Emergency, Press Play: Grief Waves

    Grief doesn’t always arrive when we expect it. Sometimes it’s a song on the radio, a photograph, or a memory that suddenly brings a wave of emotion crashing in. This guided meditation isn’t about fixing, understanding, or making grief smaller. It’s about creating space and allow yourself to move through it one breath at a time. Whether your loss is recent or years old, grief has a way of showing up when it needs our attention. When it does, you don’t have to fight it. You don’t have to push it away. You only need to breathe and let the wave move through. We didn't plan for this. But we're here. And for now, that's enough. When grief shows up uninvited, press play.
