I grew up in Nebraska and attended Arizona State University on a full-ride gymnastics scholarship in the 1980s. I love living in Arizona where I enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, exploring the local restaurant and maker scenes, and spending time with family and friends.

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 from Nebraska 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 maintain certification as a health coach and group fitness instructor, and I am a behavior change specialist. My areas of expertise are fostering whole-life wellness and a positive mindset in midlife and beyond.

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.
