Dr. Christine Li welcomes her friend and colleague Laurie Reynoldson, host of the School of Midlife podcast and a leader in supporting women through midlife transitions. Together, they dive deep into the topic of limiting beliefs—those internal barriers that hold women back from creating their best, most fulfilling lives.

Laurie Reynoldson is a sought-after podcaster, coach, speaker and the founder of the School of Midlife®. After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she’d worked her entire career to land. She knows exactly what it feels like to have everything you’ve ever thought you always wanted in life, but still feel like something is missing. Which is why she’s made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.
