FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE® with Karli Newman
Hi there! I'm Karli Newman, and this is my podcast, FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®.
In my mid-40s, my positive mindset was tested. I felt life was passing me by. I was restless in my career even though I loved my job, and exhausted after years of ignoring my self-care. PLUS the hormonal shifts of perimenopause were affecting me in ways I didn't know or understand.
Externally I maintained a positive attitude. Internally I struggled with changing my life’s direction. I didn't talk about it and it took me years to work through it.
Over time I took some big leaps, including a move back to Arizona. I created a new approach to my life and maximized my innate positivity. That’s how I ended up here - helping women like you tap into your positive mindset and inner expertise to see and seize the possibilities around you. I don’t want you to do this alone!
I’m a certified coach focused on whole-life wellness. I know from personal experience what a transformational time of life this is and how challenging it feels sometimes! I’m here to help you navigate obstacles, uncover how to move forward, and continue your unique journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
I intentionally create short episodes that fit into your busy life and get you thinking about your well-being. I cover topics that the women in this community care about (that's you BTW!).
Wherever you are in midlife and beyond, there’s space here to honor who you’ve been, love who you are, and be excited about who you are becoming.
This is the FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE® and it's a glorious place to be!
Go ahead...binge all of my episodes. xo Karli

EASE INTO WHAT'S NEXT: A GUIDED VISUALIZATION
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Imagine a clean, fresh start in 2026.
In this visualization, I invite you into a calm, expansive space where you imagine what’s next and begin to shape a happy, aligned, and fulfilling 2026. Choose what comes with you into the new year. Select what new things you place there.
This visualization complements the intention behind 31 Days of Gentle Actions to Ease Into 2026, an 11-email series I designed to help you ease into the new year. Each email includes simple daily actions that honor where you are in midlife and beyond, allowing you to gently start 2026.
Settle into a comfortable spot, take a deep breath, and listen when you’re ready. Return to this visualization multiple times to create your happy, aligned, and fulfilling 2026.

Hey there my friend. It's me. Karli. Thank you so much for joining me here today for this guided visualization to help you ease into what's next. 2026 is upon us. I created this visualization to help you ease into what can be a beautifully happy, aligned, and fulfilling year. So find a comfy space where you can preferably lie down and get fully settled in. Wiggle your body, roll your shoulders. Tip your head side to side. Squeeze your facial muscles, squeeze your fists, and then relax it all. Let's start with a nice big breath in and an even longer exhale out. Breathe in ease. Exhale, tension. Inhale, openness. Exhale, resistance. Take another big breath in and out, and then let your breath return to its natural pattern. Notice how your belly rises and lowers, and visualize yourself standing in a very large doorway. It's incredibly high, very wide, and it leads into an expansive white space. The ceilings are so tall, you can't even see the walls. It's all white. It's incredibly clean. And the only thing in it is a comfy, cozy space for you to lie down on. So slowly walk over to that space and settle in. As you land here, you feel the soft textures of the fabrics. You feel how soft and cozy and warm it is. There's an amazing scent that surrounds you, and it just feels so good. Notice in your body how it feels. Now bring your attention to the space that you're in, this clean, fresh place. This my friend, is what's next. This open space with nothing in it but you in this cozy spot is 2026. So I invite you now to think about what you will place in this space from 2025. Not everything has to come with you. You get to choose. Choose the things that help you feel fulfilled, happy, aligned, purposeful, filled with joy. There's no rush to do this, my friend. And now I invite you to think about what you want to put into this space, into this fresh start that is new What will help you feel happy, aligned, purposeful, filled with joy. This is your space. It's limitless. Again, there's no rush to decide. And reality is not a filter my friend. Notice how your body is feeling and what messages it's sending you. If you're sensing anything that doesn't meet your criteria, it's okay. You can change your mind. Just because you've placed something here doesn't mean it has to stay. You get to decide. This is such an expansive space. There's no possible way you could fill it all at once. It will be a collection over time. Today was just the beginning, or if you've been here before, a continuation. Each time you get a little more discerning because your understanding of what you want, what you desire, what meets your criteria deepens. Take a nice big breath in my friend, and a big exhale, and just soak in those warm, cozy, feel good vibes of the space you're creating. This is what's next for you. Put your hands over your heart and take another big breath in and exhale. And you can leave your hands there or put them back down by your side if that feels better to you, and just start to bring your attention back to the space you're in. Pull yourself away from that cozy spot in your What's next space back to the here and now. Maybe wiggle your fingers and toes, if that helps, and just bring your attention back by listening to the sounds around you and then gently opening your eyes. 2026 is an expansive, clean, open space for you to fill with the things that you want to place there, my friend. Thank you so much for joining me here today. Revisit this visualization again and again until you know that what is in your space is what you really want there, and it's setting you up for the 2026 that you dream of. Happy New Year, my friend. Be well.
