Feeling drained, stuck, or overwhelmed by clutter? In this episode of The Menopause Method Podcast, Cam Allen sits down with Dr. Christine Li — clinical psychologist, productivity expert, and the Procrastination Coach — to explore the surprising ways clutter robs your energy in midlife.

We dive into:

• Why clutter holds energetic weight (and what it’s costing you).
• How clearing just one drawer or corner can free up mental and physical energy.
• The emotional connection between procrastination, self-talk, and clutter.
• Simple, doable steps to start creating space for the life you want now.

Christine also shares details about her Free 5-Day Decluttering Challenge (starting Sept 8th) — designed especially for midlife women ready to let go of overwhelm and create more flow, lightness, and joy.

What you think and say becomes instructions for your body and it follows them perfectly.
In midlife, your thoughts aren’t just passing ideas; they’re powerful nervous system tools that can change how you feel, act, and show up every day.

In this episode of 50 Something with Cam Allen, we’ll talk about:

How your thoughts create your physical reality

Why your unconscious mind follows directions, even unhelpful ones

Simple mindset shifts that help your body feel safe and supported

How to use your words as a tool for midlife health and vitality

When you change the message, your body changes the response.

If you’ve been beating yourself up for not following through...on workouts, healthy habits, or that to-do list ... it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or lacking discipline. In midlife, your body and nervous system are often choosing safety over strategy.

In this episode of 50 Something with Cam Allen, we talk about:

Why resistance, low energy, or procrastination might actually be nervous system dysregulation

How the freeze response shows up in midlife (and why it’s not a personal flaw)

Simple grounding practices to help you get back into your body and feel more like yourself

Why you need more regulation (not more motivation) to follow through on what matters

Midlife isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening to your body’s wisdom. Whether you’re navigating menopause, burnout, or just feeling “off,” this episode gives you practical tools to reconnect, reset, and move forward with ease.

Midlife isn’t a breakdown. It’s a recalibration.
If you’ve been wondering whether this is a midlife crisis or feeling like things are falling apart, what if they’re actually falling into place?

In this episode of 50 Something with Cam Allen, we’ll cover:

Why midlife is a turning point, not an ending

How your body is changing on purpose during menopause and perimenopause.
Why old strategies no longer work and why that’s a good thing

How to embrace midlife as a portal, not a pause

This chapter might be the first time you’re writing your story for you.

You keep saying yes… even though you're exhausted.
You don’t want to let anyone down. You tell yourself, “It’s fine. I can handle it.”
But deep down, you know it’s costing you.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal story of what I call The Yes Trap, that exhausting pattern of putting everyone else first until you have nothing left.

From people-pleasing to a wake-up call in a doctor’s office, I’ll walk you through what finally helped me stop living on empty… and start creating a life that supports me, too.
If you're a midlife woman who feels tired, resentful, and disconnected, this is your invitation to take your energy back without guilt.
What we cover in this episode:
✔️ The emotional cost of always being the strong one
✔️ How the Yes Trap leads to burnout and resentment
✔️ My hypothyroid diagnosis and what it taught me about ignoring my needs
✔️ The mindset shift that helped me stop apologizing for rest
✔️ How to set boundaries that feel kind but clear
✔️ Why you don’t need permission to care for yourself
