This Wasn’t the Plan is a podcast about what happens after the plan falls apart — and how resilience, reinvention, and unexpected pivots often lead us somewhere better.
Hosted by Tara Resnick, each episode dives into real stories of people who faced life’s curveballs — personal, professional, or both — and found strength, purpose, or even success in their Plan B. You'll hear from guests with powerful lived experiences, as well as subject matter experts who offer insight into how we cope, adapt, and grow through the unexpected. Because life doesn’t always go to plan. But sometimes, Plan B is where the real story begins.

About your host

Tara Resnick

Tara Resnick is a healthcare professional, solution focused coach, fitness instructor and the creator and host of This Wasn’t the Plan: When Plan B Becomes the Path to Resilience and Reinvention. After facing her own journey of unexpected detours—including the heartbreak of infertility and the challenge of rewriting her dreams—Tara discovered the power of resilience, reinvention, and telling the truth about life when it doesn’t go the way you imagined.

Through her podcast, Tara creates a space for honest conversations about navigating Plan B—whether that means fertility struggles, career pivots, personal growth, or starting over. With a mix of storytelling, inspiration, and expert insights, she helps listeners feel less alone and more empowered to create a meaningful life on the other side of disappointment.

Passionate about authenticity and connection, Tara’s mission is to remind people that just because it wasn’t the plan doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful.
