In this episode, Dr. Angie Brown welcomes Dr. Christine Li, a psychologist and procrastination coach, to discuss the roots of procrastination and the challenges of midlife, particularly for women. Dr. Li explains how fear and self-doubt are central to procrastination and the importance of self-kindness and mindfulness in overcoming these barriers. The discussion also delves into the unique challenges faced by women in midlife, including the energy drain from juggling multiple responsibilities and the physical changes associated with aging. Dr. Li introduces her 'Reenergize Your Home' challenge, aiming to help participants declutter their homes and, by extension, their lives. The conversation is insightful, providing practical advice for runners and non-runners alike on maintaining motivation, managing stress, and staying energized through life's transitions.

She works with women in midlife to clear their mental and physical clutter to reclaim their energy, confidence, and joy.
