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®: A MIDYEAR MINDSET SHIFT
A midyear reset is an opportunity to slow down and view where you are from different angles. In this episode, I encourage you to shift your mindset so you can confidently move into the next half of the year.
You have everything you need to finish the year feeling SO good about the path you’ve taken!
Pair this episode with my June 11th email to enhance your midyear reset.

FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®: A MIDYEAR MINDSET SHIFT
Hey there, my friend. Here we are in the middle of the year, and I encourage you to pause for a little reset. Notice where you are, how you feel about it, what's working, what isn't. Maybe you've got some momentum going, maybe you don't.
Either way, a midyear reset is an opportunity to slow down and view where you are from different angles.
My last episode was about noticing where you are. This episode helps you shift your mindset so you feel confident about where you are and where you're heading.

Welcome to FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®. I'm Karli Newman, your favorite GenX dealer of positive vibes, community builder, and Life and Wellness coach for women in midlife and beyond. Thank you so much for joining me here today.
If I don't intentionally build in space to pause, reflect, and course correct midyear, I'll just continue running. And I'll likely run past both subtle signs and big red warning signs without noticing them. A few weeks in the middle of the year, where I reflect on where I am and where I want to be, is the chance to celebrate what's going well and dig into what isn't. It keeps me from spending valuable time and effort in the wrong places.
I know you can benefit from a midyear reset, too. That's why I'm spreading this midyear reset out into bite-sized episodes you can listen to and take action on to feel really good about where you're heading in the back half of the year.
If you don't receive my free Wednesday emails, please invite me to land in your inbox. My podcast episodes expand on the content in my emails, so you can read and listen to get the most out of what I share with you. There's a link in the show notes and transcript where you can join my email community.
If you don't know, I lean toward the positive side of things, but that doesn't stop me from feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stagnant in parts of my life. Here in midlife and beyond, I've learned to listen to those feelings and kindly respond. Well, most of the time anyway.
This is another reason I benefit from a midyear reset, and you will, too. It's a chance to check in and see what clues you might have missed. From there, you can take action to clear space and energy and shift your mindset. Then, you have more clarity as you move forward.
In my June 11th email, I shared three steps to help you clear space and energy for the next six months. If you didn't find that email in your inbox, you can read it at the link in the show notes and transcript.
Most of us easily see what hasn't gone as we'd hoped or what isn't working when we start reflecting. So start with what is working, what feels really good, and the wins you've had up to this point.
I highly recommend an actual pat on the back, a celebration dance, or a little reward for yourself to honor your genius and success in these areas. Not only does it feel good, but it puts you in a positive place where you can more easily postpone judgment and neutrally evaluate what doesn't feel like you want it to.
A midyear reset is an opportunity to refurbish your confidence, and that doesn't come from having everything figured out or doing it the way everyone else seems to do it. It comes from trusting yourself.
Your mindset shift starts with little tweaks to your self-talk. Instead of, I should be further along, try, I've learned a lot from where I've been. Rather than, I'm stuck and I don't know what to do, try, I feel the need for change, and I am figuring this out.
Hear the self-trust in those examples?
Meet yourself where you are. Use the tools that work for you to reframe your mindset and start to see your progress, challenges, and future through confident eyes.
Stay connected to what feels true and meaningful to you, and you'll carry that confidence into the rest of the year. Intentional choices and aligned actions are how you maintain that mindset.
You, my friend, have what it takes to move forward with confidence and end the year feeling so good about it.
If you're curious about getting one-to-one guidance from me on this or any other facet of your wellbeing, visit the services page of my website, flipsideofmidlife.com.
Yes, I'll link it for you in the show notes and transcript.
In next week's email and episode, you'll find information and inspiration to create, affirm, or edit your intention for the last half of the year. Follow or subscribe so you don't miss it.
As I build this community, it's important to me that I honor your inner expertise. In these bite-sized episodes, I intend to share content that inspires you and gets you thinking about how it applies to where you are in this season of life. I hope you take the pieces that resonate with you and they make a positive impact.
If you want to suggest topics for future episodes or share your thoughts on existing ones, I'd love to hear from you. Please email me at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
And if you'd like to get a closer look at another format where I share impactful content, I invite you to try ELEVATE, my membership for women in midlife and beyond. It's a mix of community, self-paced personal development, and guided support to help you thrive in this season of life. Learn more and join at the link in the show notes or transcript.
Thanks for listening. As always, I'm here cheering you on as you travel through midlife and beyond. I'll be back next Wednesday with another episode of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®. Until then, enjoy creating your midyear mindset shift.
