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

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE NOT ENOUGH: A GUIDED MEDITATION
I’m Karli, and I’m so glad you’re here!
In this episode, I share a guided meditation designed to help you reconnect with your inherent worth and lose those feelings of “not enough.”
Affirmations are powerful, my friend. Use them to replace negative thought patterns and help you feel grounded in your truth: you are enough, you are worthy, and you are whole.
Hit play whenever that mean girl in your head tells you you're not enough.
Don’t forget to have your journal or notebook handy—I’ll offer a writing prompt at the end to help you capture what comes up for you during this meditation.

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE NOT ENOUGH: A GUIDED MEDITATION
{MUSIC INTRO}
Hi there, I'm Karli, and I am so glad you're here. Welcome, my friend.
Two weeks ago, I mentioned I'm experimenting with my every other Sunday podcast episodes. Rather than expanding my thoughts on the topic of my midlife musings email, I'm showing up with a guided visualization or meditation to help you connect more deeply with its core message. Please read and listen to get the most out of this unique and impactful pair.
If you don't receive my Sunday emails, that's okay. You will benefit by listening whether you know what's in my email or not.
Of course, I'd love land in your inbox too. You can make it happen at the link in the show notes and transcript.
Since this is a new thing I'm trying, I hope you'll help me out by letting me know your thoughts about it. After listening today, please leave a comment or send me an email at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
One last housekeeping note before I start the meditation. At the end of our time together today, I invite you to write. Whether it's a few words or a few pages, you will benefit by being able to revisit what comes to you today. Have your journal, notebook, or favorite app within reach, my friend.
Okay, let's begin.
Time Marker 01:16
Find a comfortable position, sitting or lying down, eyes closed or gaze lowered.
Start with a nice deep breath in. And exhale. Notice your shoulders lower. Again a deep breath in. And exhale. Feel your brow soften and your jaw relax. Repeat that once more and then allow your breath to find its natural rhythm.
Affirmations are a powerful tool for shifting your mindset. These short, present tense, encouraging statements help you replace negative thought patterns and redirect your energy to a positive place. You experience the most benefit when you consistently say them out loud with feeling and accompany them with mental imagery. It strengthens your belief in the statement.
As a woman in midlife and beyond, you've lived through years of messages that you need to be more. That you should do more. That you are broken or not good enough.
Those messages are not your truth, my friend.
Preferably out loud or in your head if you're in a space where you cannot, repeat these I am statements after me. Feel the words in your heart and soul and allow imagery to come to you as you say them.
I am enough exactly the way I am. I always have been.
I am on my own unique and beautiful path.
I am worthy of respect, love, and kindness.
I am whole and complete, just as I am.
I am at peace with who I am and where I am on my journey.
Take a deep breath in and exhale.
Your truth lies in these affirmations, my friend. Believe them. Feel them in your heart and soul. See them in your mind. You are enough. You are worthy. You are whole. You are right where you're supposed to be.
If you'd like to use it, here is a writing prompt for you. What feelings and images came to you during this meditation today?
Thank you for sharing this time with me. If you liked this guided meditation with affirmations, please comment or send me an email at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
