Your New BFF: Flexibility

Episode Summary

We have routines and plans and new defaults. They help us stay on track without it requiring SO much brain power. But what happens when a piece of that routine or a part of the plan doesn't go as expected? Maybe life gets in the way and we can't get to the grocery store? Then what?! Enter your new BFF: flexibility. In this week's episode Jenn walks us through what it looks like when we're not flexible, the consequences of it and a few ideas for how to add flexibility into our lives. As Jenn says: "Flexiblity is the key to making this for forever." Tackling our food, fitness, sleep, stress and of course, Thanksgiving, this is a must listen!
