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

DEEPEN YOUR FOCUS: A GUIDED MEDITATION
Hi there, my friend! I’m back with a short meditation that ties into the core message of my Midlife Musings email (using the frequency illusion with intention).
If you don’t receive my emails, I’d love to land in your inbox! Join my email list at this link and get an impactful reading AND listening experience.
In this episode, I lead you through a short guided meditation designed to help you plant a seed of focus and use the frequency illusion to enhance your well-being and satisfaction with life.
Settle into stillness, open your mind, and allow your awareness to shift toward what you want to cultivate. After the meditation, I share a simple journaling prompt to help you take inspired action.
⏲️The guided visualization starts at 01:08 and is under 4 minutes long.
I’d love to hear how this resonates with you, so feel free to email me at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com or leave a comment. Your feedback means so much as I explore new ways to connect with you.
Tune in, focus your awareness, and start seeing more of what you want in your life. xo Karli

DEEPEN YOUR FOCUS: A GUIDED MEDITATION
You know when you buy a new car and suddenly you see the same car everywhere? Or you have a conversation about a topic or learn a new concept and it shows up multiple times soon after? That is the frequency illusion at work, my friend.

Hi there, my friend, and welcome. I'm Karli Newman, a GenX woman, community builder, and life coach for women in midlife and beyond. Thank you for joining me here.
In those examples I gave, your focus means your mind is primed to notice the new car, the topic, or concept. It's a cognitive bias that results from your brain's desire to find patterns. Why not intentionally use the frequency illusion phenomenon to help you boost your well-being and satisfaction with life?
I created the upcoming meditation to help you use your brain's pattern-finding power and the frequency illusion with intention.
I follow it with a prompt, so have your journal, notebook, or favorite app nearby. Let's begin.
TIME MARKER 01:08
Find a comfortable position, sitting or lying down. Now close your eyes or lower your gaze if that feels more comfortable for you. Take a deep breath in through your nose. Hold it for a moment and exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat that breath. Feel your eyes, jaw, and shoulders relax as you exhale completely.
Repeat once more, and return to a normal breath pattern as you settle into this moment of stillness.
This space is yours. Space to create focus. Space to shift what flows into your realm of awareness. Bring to mind a seed you'd like to plant here today, or one you want to continue to nurture.
What do you want to notice more frequently in your life?
Is it abundance? Opportunities, gratitude, possibilities, self-compassion, joy?
Bring a hand to your heart.
Feel your hand warm and your heart expand as you plant and tend to your seed.
Repeat after me, silently or aloud.
- I am open to seeing more of this in my life.
- I welcome the positive energy that flows to me.
- I trust my seed will grow and flourish for me.
Feel these words settle into your soul.
Allow your hand to rest back in your lap.
Take a deep breath in, and exhale.
As you slowly bring your awareness back to the space around you, allow yourself to bask in the feelings and images that came to you during this meditation.
Wiggle your fingers and toes, roll your shoulders, and gently blink your eyes a few times as you return to now.
If you'd like to use it, here is a writing prompt for you.
What is one small action I can take today to tend to my seed of focus?
Remain open and notice what shows up for you as you nurture this focus. The frequency illusion is sure to illuminate the synchronicities that appear.
I invite you to join my ELEVATE membership to connect with other women in midlife and beyond who are planting their own seeds of focus and using the frequency illusion with intention.
ELEVATE is a community where we support each other in our efforts to grow, fully embrace this time of life, and thrive. Visit the link in the show notes and transcript to learn more and become an ELEVATE member.
Thank you for sharing this time with me, my friend. I'd love to know your thoughts about this guided meditation. Comment, leave a review, or reach out privately at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
I'll be back in two weeks with another guided visualization or meditation.
In the meantime, catch my Wednesday episodes of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®.
