When the call schedule explodes, the backup plan fails, and everyone’s unraveling — how do you hold it all together?
In the final episode of The Predictability Problem Series, Kendra and Katie unpack what it really means to create flexible family systems that bend but don’t break when medicine runs the clock.
You’ll learn:
-
Why rigid plans actually increase stress in high-uncertainty seasons
-
The Plan B Framework — Predict, List, Automate, Name — to restore calm when things go sideways
-
How to build “structured flexibility” that keeps the household steady
-
Why Plan B isn’t failure — it’s the foundation of resilience
-
Simple system swaps to turn daily survival into sustainable rhythm
Because predictability isn’t about control — it’s about confidence that you can recover, reset, and reconnect no matter what medicine throws your way.
