In this solo episode of Make Time for Success, Dr. Christine Li shares valuable insights drawn from her coaching experiences and Simply Productive program, offering practical strategies for treating yourself with loving kindness and transforming daily challenges into opportunities for growth and joy. She explores essential concepts including developing a voice of loving kindness, creating a "no guilt zone," and replacing negative patterns with play and excitement.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
