EP 115: Parenting hormonal teens while battling hormones yourself?! Me too! You are not alone there and according to parenting expert Dr. Lisa Damour there are some tools in teaching them to navigate “big feelings”, while maintaining you are own sense of equilibrium, as a parent. Honestly, this was an amazing reminder for myself and I know that so many of you parents will be able to relate. Let’s face it, on top of working a career or being a “stay at home mom” or quasi or full “empty nester and mid-lifing, it’s also our job to set our kids up for emotional success by giving them the tools for self expression and emotional regulation. These are the tools they will carry with them their whole lives and Dr. Lisa is here to break it down for us. 
This week we are doing another quick golden nugget mini-sode excerpt from The Flexible Neurotic Archive. This conversation was with Dr. Lisa Damour, a recognized thought leader by the American Psychological Association. She’s a best selling author, speaker and host of the podcast, Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Parenting. This conversation is always a good one to come back to on parenting teens and helping them manage their emotions, while we manage our own.

EP 111: Midlife fantasy or real life? A bad case of the “midlife itchies” at 44 which ended up being a huge turning point for this guest. She was post-divorce, filing for bankruptcy  and trying to find her inner fuel and passion again in midlife, despite her father dying, her dog dying, living in a tiny apartment with two teenagers, and having a quick romance that ended up leaving her wanting more. Long story short, she met an astrologist who made her believe in all the midlife woo-woo and started her midlife journey that led her to Paris… which for this guest, at the time was about finding every man in Paris born on November 2, 1968 because he just might be her long lost true love. So, in a true “I am going to save myself” fashion, my guest went off to Paris to look for any guy born on November 2, 1968. This was the date the astrologer gave her. She started this man search on a new instagram account and traveled blindly into the unknown of Paris to “find herself”. I mean, wow… true midlife magic. 
Might have peaked your interest…
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in an inspiring and heartfelt conversation called Finding Me Again, True Story! My guest Natasha Sizlo is a best selling author, writer, real-estate agent for The Agency (she can be seen on Buying Beverly Hills TV show) and overall master of the midlife remix. She wrote the best selling book All Signs Point To Paris, A Memoir of Love, Loss and Destiny, which is a true story of her search for a second chance at love, and a midlife adventure prompted by an astrology reading. In this episode, we are getting into self-love, self-responsibility, the importance of creating community and the magic that happens along the way.
