#351: Josie is breaking down 4 “high-maintenance” things she does to feel hotter, healthier, and genuinely better on a regular basis (especially during a busy season of life). This isn’t about a four-hour morning routine or becoming unrecognizable, it’s about building systems that make feeling good the default. This episode is about self-respect, not perfection—and why becoming intentionally high-maintenance with your habits actually makes your life feel easier.
You'll learn:
How to implement game-changing systems instead of relying on motivation
The feminine way to habit-stacks so wellness fits into real life
The question that will transform how you make decisions and prioritize your routines
Josie's simple 3-step anti-inflammatory framework to reduce puffiness, brain fog, energy crashes, and burnout
