A New Life in Italy From Burnout to Palazzo: How to Take Back Your Time and Start Living Now
What if you are not actually short on time… you are just investing it in the wrong places?
In this episode, I sit down with international time management specialist, best-selling author, and life designer Kate Christie for a conversation that is about so much more than productivity.
We talk about ownership. About intention. About what happens when life cracks you open and forces you to reassess everything. And about why “later” is a dangerous word.
Kate shares how she walked away from corporate law, rebuilt her life after profound personal loss, and now helps high-performing women reclaim more than 30 hours of guilt-free time every month. Yes. Thirty.
We dive into:
• Why you cannot “manage” time, only invest it
• The difference between a Bucket List and a Life List
• How grief reshaped Kate’s priorities forever
• The three types of goals every woman needs: Go Big, Go Small, and Go Now
• A 90-second framework you can use today to kickstart any dream
• And how buying and renovating a palazzo in Sicily became the ultimate case study in reinvention
Kate’s story is bold, honest, and deeply empowering. Her message is clear. It might be your turn.
If you have been putting something off, this episode will lovingly challenge you.
