  • 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.

Navigating Setbacks (with Amy Shoenthal)
Q: What advice do you have for managing ambition after motherhood and avoiding the motherhood penalty?
Ambition is cyclical; be open to directing it toward both work and home, seek systemic supports like childcare, and recognize that leadership can benefit from mothers' unique perspectives.
Navigating Setbacks (with Amy Shoenthal)
Q: How should someone approach curiosity when panicking after a setback?
Start with a small, structured window for curiosity, like a 10-minute no-agenda exercise, to gently explore without rushing to a solution.
Navigating Setbacks (with Amy Shoenthal)
Q: What are the signs that someone is in a setback cycle versus normal stress?
Setbacks reverse progress and disrupt identity, unlike normal stress, which is more about temporary pressure; recognizing this helps frame the work of reinvention.
Aging Well in the Second Fifty (with Debra Whitman, PhD)
Q: How does stress influence aging, and what can be done about it?
Chronic stress accelerates aging and related health issues; reducing stress through practices like meditation and addressing root causes can mitigate these effects.
Aging Well in the Second Fifty (with Debra Whitman, PhD)
Q: What is a practical first step to change how we view aging in our own lives?
Start by catching yourself when you think or say negative things about aging, then consciously reframe to a more positive, active view of aging.
