FH051- Planning Plan B

We’re always looking forward to things going well, but what if nothing goes as we hoped? Experiencing the unexpected is part of life, and it’s always a good idea to prepare for them. That’s what author Kylie Parker seeks to get across with her book, Planning Plan B, which is about preparing not just yourself, but those around you for unfortunate events in life. Kylie joins me today to share her thoughts on being prepared in life and the story that served as her inspiration in writing her book. She explains some of life’s most stressful moments as well as provide tips on how you can prepare for them.

Don’t miss this week’s segment of Reuben’s Rant where I share why I think projecting a horse race in the Sydney Opera House, one of the country’s national icons, is a bad idea.
