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®: An Assessment That Changes How You Live in Midlife and Beyond
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's the halfway point of 2026, and instead of waiting for January, I'm doing my annual reset right now. Yep, in July.
In this episode, I share why a mid-year fresh start gives you six months of momentum before the new year even begins, and why January is one of the hardest times to do this kind of deep reflection.
I also walk you through the most foundational piece of the whole process: a values assessment. Our values shift and evolve as we grow, and so many of us are still living by values we adopted years ago from a job, the people around us, or from what we think we should find important. Knowing what truly matters to you right now is the base layer for joy, purpose, and a fulfilling life in midlife and beyond.
If you'd like to do this work together, join me for a values discovery workshop—online July 25th, in person in Phoenix on July 18th, or one-on-one any time of year.

Hey there, my friend. It's me, 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 so much for joining me here today for this episode, an off-the-cuff episode, if you will. If you receive my Wednesday emails, something landed in your inbox this morning, which is perhaps how you came to have me here in your ear. This is the halfway mark of 2026. How does that make you feel? Me, it gets my heart rate going a little bit, but I feel really at ease with that fact. Because I know that this is the month, July, when I do my annual process of deep reflection, digging into what I want to see happen, what I want to make happen, what I want my life to look like in the next 12 months, how I wanna feel about things. I like to do it in July because January is for me, and I think for a lot of other women too, one of the worst times to do this kind of process. You're coming off of a holiday season, a year-end where you're feeling tired. You've maybe not been eating the way you like to eat that makes you feel good. And you're not feeling in the clearest state of mind. I really try to ease into a new year and feel the feels, absolutely, and figure out a six-month reset rather than a whole new ' start fresh' perspective. So that starting anew , I do in July, and I invite you to join me. The reason I like to do it is because I end up at the beginning of a year with six months of momentum already behind me. I've already been moving towards what I want. And what I thought about for myself in July, I'm already six months into it by the time January comes around. And January then enables me to evaluate six months in, am I on the right path? Does this still feel like this is the direction I want to head in? And pivot rather than throwing it all up in the air and starting again. That is a beautiful thing to do in the month of July. So if you would like to join me, one of the most foundational things that you can do is to do a values assessment. And if you have not taken a really close look at your values in the past 12 months, I encourage you to do that. You can join one of my online workshops, you can join my in-person workshop if you're in Phoenix, and I always have the capability for you to set up, through my private workshop page, your own one-on-one values assessment. The online workshop that I'm doing on July 25th of 2026 is two hours, and my in-person in Phoenix workshop that I'm doing on Saturday, July 18th, is two and a half hours. So if you're listening and those sound interesting to you, go to the transcript or the show notes and click through the link to learn more information, and you can always book one of these values assessments workshops with me one-on-one any time of year, wherever you choose to do this process, and that link is also available, in the show notes and transcript. I Invite you, my friend, to really look at values before you do anything else. The reason I personally do a values assessment every year, is because our values change. They ebb and flow and evolve over time. As we grow, our values shift. You might be living to values that you grew up with. You might be living to values that you adopted at a job early on in your career. You might be living to values that other people around you hold and possess, or maybe values you, think that you, " should" be finding most important. My values assessment that I take you through has 98 different values for you to choose from. There are fuzzy boundaries between some of them, so that is really enabling you to hone in on what's truly most important to you. Not what's important to someone else, not what you think someone else thinks you should find important, but what you truly feel in your heart and soul in this moment is most important to you. I believe that your values are the most foundational bits of knowledge and information that you can put in place in order to feel really good about where you are in midlife and beyond right now. How you want to move forward, what brings you joy, what helps you feel fulfilled, what gives you purpose and meaning. Your values are the base layer of all of that. So what we do is go through this assessment, and we narrow it down. We determine your top values, and we figure out how you live in alignment with them. What are you doing now that is in alignment with them? What do you need to let go of and release? What do you want to start doing that helps you live more in alignment with what is most important to you right now? This is why I think your values are such a foundational piece to a happy, healthy, joy-filled, purposeful, fulfilling life. Please, my friend, take a look at my Values Discovery workshops. Join me this month for some really deep self-reflection. I will have more information coming out via my emails of different ways that you and I can do that together and within a community. So please join my email list if you're not already there. That link is also in the show notes and transcript. There's so much there for you, my friend. But you can always find me at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com. I'd love to hear from you. Ask me your questions, give me your feedback about this podcast, or really anything else that you want to talk about. I love to connect with you. Thanks again for joining me here and I hope that you will come back every Wednesday to join me for my bite-sized episodes that are applicable to your midlife and beyond, and every other Sunday for my guided visualizations and meditations. I'm here for you, my friend, and I look forward to having you join me for some really deep personal development in the month of July. Take care, be well, and I'll be back soon.
