Ep #289: The Importance of Fun

KIRSTIN SARFDE
About this episode

Do you eat when you’re bored or lonely? Eating can be fun but, when you do it too much it can turn into a problem. So if you want to eat less, then you might need more fun in your life.

 

In this episode I’m taking about the importance of fun and how to have more fun. So many adults have forgotten how to have fun or don’t think they have time for it if. If that’s you too, then listen in for how you’re going to make it happen so you can have more real fun and eat less.
