Just listened this morning. For the woman going through a medical event – no planner is going to make this sucky time less sucky, but I agree that moving to a more simple planner helped with expectations for myself during this time. My husband went through what sounds like a very similar impacting event, and it completely upended both our work/personal lives for 6m. However, I also wonder if there is a bit of depression going on (totally normal after a major medical event) and hope if so, she is getting the help she needs as that will be far more impact full than any planner.
