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

What if the single most powerful thing you do for yourself in midlife and beyond has nothing to do with a new habit, different routine, or the right supplement? What if it's simply a choice about how you see things? Hi there, my friend. I'm Karli, your favorite Gen X dealer of positive vibes, Life and Wellness Coach, and founder of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®, a community for women in midlife and beyond. Thank you for joining me here for this guided meditation. If you're part of my email community and or a regular listener here, you've heard this from me before. Your mindset, the lens through which you view the world is a determining factor in how you experience life. I created this meditation to help you intentionally set aside negativity, and lean into kindness, gratitude, and love. Find a comfortable position, my friend. Sit or lie down. Whatever feels best for you right now. And as you're settling in, wiggle into your spot. Tip your head. Lift and lower your shoulders, maybe roll them if you can. Take a deep inhale and slow exhale. Let your eyes close or lower your gaze if that feels more comfortable. And take another slow, easy breath in through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth. Again, inhale and exhale. One more time. Breathing in. This time, hold at the top and let it go. Now allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm. Bring your awareness to the center of your chest, your heart space. See a soft light beginning to glow there. And even though it's just beginning, this gentle light feels warm and expansive. It starts to spread slowly warming your body as it does, and as it spreads further, it lights you from within. It fills your entire self, but it doesn't stop there. Notice how it continues to expand past your physical body. The energy of this light emanates from you. It spreads far beyond you in all directions. You are at the center of this incredibly peaceful light. Feel it, my friend. As you soak in this light, think of a kindness you recently shared or received. As you do notice the intensity of the light and the expansive feeling within you grow. Now bring to mind something you feel grateful for. Again, the light gets brighter and those good feelings in you expand. Now, think of a love in your life, a love that you share, a love that you receive. Savor the feeling as the light glows its brightest and expands within you. Imprint this feeling in your soul. Take a slow, deep breath in and exhale. It is your choice to feel the warmth of kindness, gratitude, and love. You are capable of making the shift, my friend. Notice when your thoughts and the feelings in your body do not align with those you practiced in this meditation. Begin to bring your awareness back to the space you're in. Feel the support of the surface beneath you. Hear the sounds around you. Gently wiggle your fingers and toes. And when you're ready, flutter, open your eyes. Hold onto the feeling of this meditation as you move through your day, my friend. Revisit whenever you want to immerse in the beautiful, warm light of kindness, gratitude, and love. Join me on Wednesdays for more bite-sized episodes you can apply to your midlife and beyond, and every other Sunday for guided meditations and visualizations. I look forward to meeting you here for all of it. Take care and be well, my friend.
