Mica has five kids, a full-time job, and a refrigerator that never seems to stay organized.

She's constantly shopping, cooking, putting food away, and trying to keep up with a fridge that's being used by seven different people. And no matter how hard she tries, food keeps getting lost, things go bad, and the whole process feels overwhelming.

So we're going to pull everything out, figure out what she actually has, and create some systems that make the fridge easier for the whole family to use.

But as we start digging into the food, we discover that a full refrigerator means a lot more to Mica than simply having enough to eat.

We talk about her childhood experiences with food, why an overflowing fridge can feel comforting and overwhelming at the same time, and what happens when you're so busy taking care of everyone else that you forget to include yourself.

And, of course, we get into the practical stuff too…categories, bins, labels, and what to do when the organizing systems you've created start feeling a little too restrictive.

By the end of our session, Mica has a fridge that feels calmer, a better understanding of why this space has been so challenging, and a new idea for making sure she's one of the people being taken care of.

Because with five kids to feed, there's always room for one more person at the table. Especially when that person is you.
