Lovely to meet you! I’m Karli - your favorite GenX dealer of positive vibes✨
I’m a Life/Wellness Coach and community builder for women in midlife and beyond. Here’s how I got here…
I grew up in Nebraska and landed at Arizona State University on a full-ride gymnastics scholarship in the 1980s. Over 12 years as an athlete, I sharpened my work ethic, time management skills, and first-hand experience with the power of mindset.
My positive mindset was put to the test when I reached my mid-40s. I felt life was passing me by. I was restless in my career, though I loved my job. I was exhausted after years of ignoring my self-care and putting myself last. Add in the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, which I didn’t know about BTW, and I couldn’t see a way to feel like myself again.
To others, I still had a positive attitude. But internally, I struggled to define what I wanted. I only knew I wanted to change the direction of my life without blowing it up. But where to begin? I didn't talk about it, and it took me years to work through it on my own.
(note: if I could go back and talk to my 40-something self, I’d advise her to find a therapist, coach, and community!)
Over time, I took some big leaps, including a move from Nebraska back to Arizona and a career change. I adopted a new approach to my life, maximized my innate positivity, and founded FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®. Now here I am - helping women like you define what you want and create the change needed to get it.
I maintain certification as a Health Coach and Group Fitness Instructor. I also have extensive training in behavior change. My areas of expertise include fostering whole-life wellness, successful habit change, and building a positive mindset.
It is one of my favorite things to connect with other women in this transformational time of life. Please reach out to say hello or have coffee!! My email is karli@flipsideofmidlife.com.
My philosophy
I believe a positive mindset is a choice available to every woman in midlife and beyond. I know it is a key that unlocks your big, bold, beautiful life.
My philosophy permeates all of my work. Whether you work with me one-on-one, become an ELEVATE member, listen to my podcast, or subscribe to my emails, you will feel my positivity and zest for life.
I genuinely LOVE to help women in midlife and beyond pepper positivity into all areas of life and see the possibilities emerge.
