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

Hey, my friend, welcome back to FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE™️. I'm Karli Newman, and as always, I'm thrilled to have you here with me.
It's common to express appreciation and thankfulness in November, but how often do you express self-gratitude?

Every woman in midlife and beyond can benefit from a close look at her unique self. Your ability to notice and appreciate what makes you, you leads to a boost in self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-love. It feels really good to express self-gratitude!
There are many things about yourself to be grateful for. You're pretty freaking amazing, after all. But it can feel overwhelming to start a self-gratitude practice. Don't you worry, I got you.
Let's start with your strengths, shall we?
It can be uncomfortable to identify your strengths.
Sometimes it's easier to focus on what you lack, or what someone else does better than you. But you have many strengths. A bit of guidance may be all you need to see them.
Here are three ways you can notice and express gratitude for your strengths.
First, you can keep a journal to record when one of your strengths appears.
Jot down the situations where you demonstrate your strengths and the outcome you receive. Maybe you recognize when you navigate a tough conversation with empathy, creatively solve a problem, or stay calm under pressure. Over time, this journal is a tangible reminder of your strengths in action. In turn, you build self-awareness and appreciation for your unique strengths.
Second, you can use strengths-based affirmations.
I love using affirmations. Early in your day, choose one of your strengths and create a positive affirmation about it. Here's an example. I'm grateful for my resilience and how it helps me keep trying, even when I fail. Repeat your strength-based affirmation several times throughout the day to reinforce your strength and build a consistent self-gratitude practice. Over time, you'll notice a difference in how you feel about your strengths and your confidence in using them.
Third, you can close each day with a strengths review.
As part of your evening routine, think about one strength you used that day, no matter how small. Maybe you defused a stressful situation or you managed to stay on task in the midst of potential distractions. When you acknowledge even the smallest accomplishments, you notice the abundance of your strengths and build a practice of self-gratitude.
You deserve to notice and celebrate your strengths. They are needed in this world, my friend.
Please join me next week. I'll be right here with another way to practice self-gratitude.
As always, I'm here cheering you on as you travel your journey of personal growth. I love to hear your thoughts and experiences, so please reach out to me at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
