We have a lot of different ways to talk about it.
The British say, *When it all goes pear-shaped.*
Americans say, *When it all goes south.* (I don’t love that one—I’m from the South.)
And then there’s the classic, *When it all goes to hell.*
Or you might hear:
“When the wheels come off the wagon"
"When the floor vanishes beneath you”
"When the train jumps the track"
"When it all melts into a puddle of nope"
"When the orchestra plays without a conductor"
"When Pandora drops the box and kicks it open for good measure"
Whatever phrase you use, the experience is universal: everything seems fine, and then, suddenly, it's not.
In this solo episode, we’re talking about those moments when it all unravels. What do you do when life spins out of control, when plans collapse, or when unexpected chaos barges in uninvited? And more importantly, how do you realign?
This one’s real, raw, and may be just what you need right now.

(By the way, don’t believe the social media hype saying em dashes indicate a ChatBot. I’ve been using em dashes since 1972.)
In tribute to the fantastic George Wendt, who just died: it's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear.
