Planner Girl Chatter is a podcast for Planner Ent…
We wonder a lot of things. It is possible for Colleen to take a break from dating for a year? Were our parents just as smart as us? Is it insane that Jamie already ordered her 2024 planner?

Listen in and join us in the Facebook group to let us know if you are ready to tackle the same things we are challenged with.

Obsessed with the show Love Is Blind, we discuss that fine line between snark and being mean-spirited. Jamie shares the plant addition to her planner (clearly still stuck in 2020). Colleen confessions she’s in a planner slump and brainstorms what she needs to get out of it. We apologize for the disastrous Tik Tok post.

Reminiscing on the times we’ve felt or seen folks get less than expected from a transaction in the planner community. Yep, we cover everything from items not getting delivered, PayPal friends & family, and what to look for when buying planner event tickets. As we move back into planner in-person events and meeting new people, it’s a great reminder of how to keep alert while moving through the community. Bottom line…don’t be chill.

What do you think? Is the planner community dead? Recently we did a survey asking a variety of questions about how folks feel about many aspects of the community. We asked about how folks are shopping, connecting, and even what is missing. As we bring season 5 to a close this conversation gave us plenty to ponder on, and lots to consider heading into the new planner frontier. As always, we hope you will share your thoughts in our Facebook group or….apparently where people are connecting today…Instagram!
