Karli Newman, Podcast Host of Flipside of Midlife and certified wellness and life coach is our guest today. You can find Karli and sign up for her newsletter at her website: flipsideofmidlife.com.

All authors need to make their writing a priority.

No time to write, no writing! Karli is an expert whose experience helps writers to keep writing without guilt. She is a cheerleader for you to focus on your needs and she shares how to do it.

In this podcast episode, we chat about crucial issues that surround self-love, self-acceptance, and paths to overall wellness all of which will lead to more writing!

* How to identify your values and why they are important to you.

* The test to determine if you are saying YES to too many things, you bad writer, you. PLUS: how to say “NO, NO, NO!” (in a gentle way) - Karli’s advice here is brilliant.

* Illustrative real world examples that demonstrate how to handle the pressures and demands in your life and pivot to what is healthy, healing, and productive for you.

My favorite part of the podcast interview is where Karli shares how to say “no” - like, specifically, with words you can write down on an index card and carry with you and then read when the situation presents itself.

Karli offers help in the form of her podcast episodes at Flipside of Midlife but also through one-on-help, workshops, and retreats. If you are in the Phoenix, Arizona area you could check out her private retreat offering, Casita Serena, for 2, 3 or 4 day stays to work with her or simply as an escape to write. Whoa! To compare, think of that scene in the Ya Ya Sisterhood when Ashley Judd’s character escapes to a beach bungalow to re-group!
