  • The podcast I never miss!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I've been listening to *Edit Your Life* for well over a decade, and it's one of the few podcasts I never miss. Christine has a rare gift for making you feel like you're catching up with a wise friend while sharing practical advice you can actually use.

    Her book recommendations are always spot on, and her tips for organization, parenting, and simplifying life have helped me through many busy seasons as a mom of three. I even discovered a wonderful independent bookstore in my own town beca... more

  • Just what I needed

    You know when you find a great podcast and think, “Wow, I wish I would’ve found this sooner!” That’s Edit Your Life for me. I can imagine how much it would’ve helped me through raising three kids if I’d have found it ten years ago. But even now as two of my kids have flown the nest and I have just one high schooler at home, I find I very much relate to Christine’s stage of life and her advice is often a comfort and an inspiration.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Raising Middle Schoolers (with Phyllis Fagell) [Encore!]
Q: What would be a key piece of advice for kids who are struggling to put up a force field when needed?
Fagell suggests helping children set limits with demanding friends, especially when a friend needs more support than a peer can provide. Children can encourage the friend to speak with a trusted adult or school counselor, then step back.
Raising Middle Schoolers (with Phyllis Fagell) [Encore!]
Q: What is resilience, and why does it matter so much, especially for tweens?
Fagell says resilience does not mean never falling down. It means recovering from setbacks, staying optimistic, and trying new strategies, which helps children manage the challenges of middle school.
How to Find the Throughline in Your Nonlinear Career (with Helen Jonsen)
Q: How can someone distinguish a genuinely interesting new direction from getting distracted by the next shiny thing?
Jonsen recommends pausing to consider the timing, finances, what someone wants to be known for, whether the opportunity is short- or long-term, and the value of learning compared with the fear of failure.
How to Find the Throughline in Your Nonlinear Career (with Helen Jonsen)
Q: What does the kaleidoscope give us that the ladder does not?
The kaleidoscope frames a career as a personal combination of skills, talents, and passions that can be rearranged over time without changing a person's underlying strengths.
What You Need to Know About Breast Health (with Dr. Marisa Weiss)
Q: How often should self-exams be done, and what exactly should be checked?
Regular, monthly checks are useful; start by feeling all around the breast, including behind the nipple and areola, and compare month to month for persistent changes, then contact your provider if you notice something new.
