Episode 10: Clare Li

This conversation with Clare Li marks the final episode of Season 1. Hosts Amanda and Michelle reserved Clare's time for this season-ender so you, our listener, bask in her positivity and optimistic spirit … until you hear from us again!

Clare is the only non-dancing member of Luca Patuelli's (previous episode) crew. Clare has survived multiple health scares from a young age, from psoriatic arthritis as an 11-year-old to undergoing a double vasectomy and living with an autoimmune disease as an adult.

"As a kid I felt I was constantly trying to keep up with everybody else," recounts Clare in this episode. Then, Clare turned to writing … and it changed everything.

By enrolling into workshops and surrounding herself with supportive writers, Clare felt empowered as she navigated one health challenge after another.

In this interview, she talks about how her cancer diagnosis brought her from behind the scenes, right to the front. Even her Instagram feed started to tell a different, bolder story.

If there's one thing this chat will inspire you to do, it is to take action. To say "yes" more often. To not give in to "what ifs" and "maybe later", and to follow your heart and your passions when you're in the pink of health—or not!
