Later Could Be Too Late: Kate Christie on The Life List, Loss, and Why the Wrong Question Has Been Costing You Everything | Ep 106

from You Are Not Invisible After 50 · host Roaring Ahead

She built the career, lost the marriage, and watched her ex-husband die at 54 regretting every moment he'd postponed. Then she sat down and wrote the list that changed her life — and eventually, 180,000 others. Full DescriptionHer ex-husband died at 54, and in his final weeks he told her his greatest regret wasn't the end of their marriage. It was simpler and sadder than that — the kids he hadn't shown up for, the life he'd kept saving for later. He left her money for a holiday, the one he'd always meant to take and never did.Most people would have filed that away. Kate Christie built an entirely different philosophy on top of it.What she arrived at wasn't a bucket list — it was what she calls a life list, and the distinction matters more than it first appears. A bucket list is built on fear, on the shrinking window and everything you haven't managed yet. A life list asks a completely different question: not what do you want to do before you die, but what do you want to do while you're still young enough to actually live it? One is a response to death. The other is a response to life.Kate is Australia's leading time expert, a bestselling author of five books, and a consultant to Westpac, L'Oréal, Deloitte and the European Union — who also learned to surf at 52, bought a palazzo in Sicily, and built a community of 180,000 women by simply refusing to save anything for later. She is, in other words, proof of her own argument.In this episode, Kate and I have the conversation that changes the question:☑️ From am I running out of time, to what am I actually doing with it?☑️ The loss that started everything and the framework that followed☑️ How a $25 book became $500K from a single client ☑️ What it actually looks like to build an audacious life — not someday, but now. 💬 Connect with Kate Christie⬢ Instagram: @katechristieloves ⬡ Website: www.katechristie.com.au▣ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-christie/📖 The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live an Audacious Life — available now. 🔗 Stay Connected with You Are Not Invisible After 50⬢ Instagram: @youarenotinvisibleafter50⬡ Website:  https://www.youarenotinvisibleafter50.com◈ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@yania50official▷YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@youarenotinvisibleafter50 ☑️ Stay to the end — the bonus section is where Kate hands you the practical tools.
