HOW TO TALK TO OTHER WOMEN ABOUT FEAR
I'm back with another episode related to fear in midlife and beyond.
Here’s something I’ve learned…Fear shows up on the daily for me. Usually in small ways I notice and can move through, but sometimes it lies a layer or two deeper than I’m used to digging.
Unearthing these deeper layers is when big breakthroughs happen. The thing is, I usually don’t reach them on my own. It’s usually through conversation with another woman when I feel the hard clunk at the bottom of my shovel, cueing me to keep digging.
Hit play to hear how to start a conversation about fear with another woman, questions to ask to dig down into the layers of fear, and tips to manage your emotions during these conversations.
Any light bulbs appear over your head as you listened? Send me your thoughts and feedback at karli@flipsideofmidlife.com. I'd love to hear from you and answer your questions about midlife and beyond on an upcoming episode.

She also tells us a bit about her challenging midlife experience and how it led to her favorite thing about midlife and beyond.
YOUR HARMONY MINDSET
To create harmony in your life, it doesn’t take a giant overhaul or a longer to-do list. What it does take is a different way of thinking.
In this episode, I help you find your harmony mindset by reframing inner dialogue that puts you into a state of disharmony.
You are capable and deserve the peace and ease that come into your life when you find your harmony mindset! xo Karli
HOW TO CREATE HARMONY MORE OFTEN
Some days, everything just flows. Other days? It feels like you’re pushing a boulder uphill. That’s the difference between harmony and disharmony.
To have more of those free-flowing days, you have to notice your disharmony and make the right adjustments.
In this episode of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®, I help you recognize signs of disharmony before they derail your day and discover adjustments to bring harmony back into your life.
Disharmony is a cue that helps you shift to harmony. Make the adjustment that works for you, and more of those easy, flowing days are in store! xo Karli
