In today's episode, Jessi chats about how organizing, systematizing and streamlining so many areas of her life has helped reduce mental clutter / mental load and completely changed her life. She discusses how to create a life where structure, systems, and routines support your well-being without being restrictive, and how you can implement a concept called 'structured flexibility' on your journey to end binge eating, emotional eating and overeating if you are someone who thrives on routine but also wants a healthier, less obsessive relationship with food and fitness.
She also shares her and her husband's experience playing the Fair Play card game to divvy up household responsibilities in an effort to reduce overwhelm, resentment and feel more connected with one another.
Join us for a convo on the power of routine, systems, reducing decision fatigue, and embracing a balanced approach to food and exercise that feels both managed and free.

The Fair Play Game - it's a conversation card deck. We didn't read the book prior to playing and honestly didn't need to but I did buy it and I may read it eventually.
