Flexi press kit: the facts, the logos and the founder.
The Flexi press kit has everything a writer needs in one place. Flexi is a skills app for perfectionists, people pleasers and anyone who holds on too tight: small everyday skills, taught by Flexi in seconds, and nothing you write is ever saved.
Flexi in 60 seconds
Some people hold it all together for everyone. They check the email three times, say yes when they mean no, and tell everyone they are fine. Most advice tells them to try harder. Flexi teaches the opposite: how to loosen the grip and let people in.
Flexi is a friendly stick figure who shows each skill as a pose you can copy. There are 86 small skills in the Flexi Method, an original method in nine groups. Most take under a minute. The Flexi app, the free website guides and the Flexi! card game all teach the same skills.
Flexi is a self help skills app. It is not therapy and not a crisis service.

Meet the founder
Jodie O'Malley, LICSW is a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Flexi.
Jodie has spent more than 20 years with capable, caring people who already had plenty of control. They planned, checked, held it in and said yes. Most skills teach people to hit the brakes, so they handed these people more of what they already had. So Jodie flipped it, and built small skills for taking the brakes off.
