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

FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®: Time Is Inside Of You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does your relationship with time actually look like? Not your calendar, but your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around time.
In this episode, I'm sharing three reframes that have created life-altering shifts for me personally.
I explore why time isn't your enemy, why white space is anything but wasted, and why the most powerful shift of all is learning to experience time as something within you — not an outside force working against you.
This one has the potential to change everything, my friend. Give it a listen.

What if the way you think about time has been quietly working against you and you didn't even know it? Keep listening as we explore how to build a relationship with time that creates ease rather than anxiety. Hey there, my friend. Welcome to this episode of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®. I'm Karli Newman, 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. I am so grateful to have you here with me. Sit with this for a moment. What does your relationship with time look like? I don't mean what your calendar looks like or how you manage time. I'm asking about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to time. If you've never thought about this before, you are not alone. Time feels like an outside force we struggle against. It seems to pass more quickly with every birthday, and we often say how we never have enough of it. My relationship with time is something I've been nurturing over the past few months. I've come to see that how I think and feel about time and act towards it is a choice. By making different choices, I've experienced life altering shifts. Allow me to offer you a few reframes that might shift something for you, too. First, time is not your enemy. What if you stopped fighting time and embraced it instead? When you struggle to control time, your body holds tension and experiences stress. Think about it. Your breathing is shallower and more rapid and your heart beats faster. You rush around, get clumsy, forget things, show up late. When you see time as a friend, and approach it with ease, your body stays relaxed. You take slow, deep breaths from your belly, and your mind is clear. The fight is exhausting. The ease is, well, easy! Another reframe to consider is that white space is not wasted space. Midlife and beyond is a perfect time to release the need to 'fit in one more thing' or relate your worth to how much you get done in a day. The unhurried, unscheduled nature of white space is where YOU shine. It's where you are most creative, do your best thinking, and hear your inner wisdom. White space gives you the chance to be without any attached agenda. Choose to place white space on your calendar. Protect it. Notice the gifts that come your way. The last reframe I want to share with you today is to foster the belief that time is within you. I can personally attest that this has had the biggest impact on me. Rather than thinking of time as an external factor, something that happens to you, see it as an internal experience. That may sound strange at first, but you've felt this before my friend. Think of a task you can get lost in or an afternoon with someone you care about. Time seems to fly, right? Now, think about those moments when a few minutes feel like a few hours. Time is elastic and your relationship with it shapes how you experience it. When I become aware of feeling rushed or notice any of my old habits, I intentionally slow down and take a few deep belly breaths. I repeat the mantra, 'time is inside of me.' I swear time opens up for me! The choices you make around time, how you think, feel, and act creates something remarkable. I can't wait for you to experience it for yourself. If this episode resonates with you, I'd like to invite you to explore ELEVATE the monthly membership I built. It is my greatest passion to guide women in midlife and beyond through self-exploration while creating a positive, kind and supportive community. In ELEVATE, we go deep together through the tools I create, monthly q and a video chats, and community connection spaces far away from social media. Find out if ELEVATE is right for you at the link in the show notes or transcript. Or head to flipsideofmidlife.com and visit the ELEVATE membership page. This week, I encourage you to sit quietly for a few minutes to explore your relationship with time. Notice your thoughts, feelings, and habits around it. Then get honest with yourself about the different choices you can make. All you need is a little stillness and an open mind and heart. Time is inside of you and it's ready to be your friend. Thank you so much for spending time with me today. I'd love to hear what shifts for you as you rethink your relationship with time. Reach out and tell me at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com. I read every message and I love hearing from you. Join me here 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.
