EP 122: 6 month “midlife review” for you. It is 6 months into the new year. Have you taken any of those personal steps that you might have pondered on January 1? This is not general “self help” bla bla. This is the real juice. 
Midlife woman, I know you are ready for a personal “uplevel” because you are here! Wanting a pivot, reset, rei-ignition, with some mindfulness on the side…me too! What if I told you that I could give you a carefully curated “top shelf” midlife golden nugget action step list that might get you to take that first tiny step towards “choosing you”? What’s stopping you…your inner mean girl, the perception that others will judge you, or plain fear of doing something new and failing? Me too! We are not settling! We are creating!
If you are ready to jump off the “midlife hamster wheel” of the same damn day everyday…I got you. Me too! This week's guest is going deep with me and digging into 10 golden nuggets on being “braver” for you! 
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a new podcast episode that is all about bridging the gap between “knowing vs. actually” doing. This week I am joined by podcaster, author and thought leader with 400K+ social media followers, Cory Allen.
In this episode we are outlining practical steps for midlife “uplevel”. Cory and I dig into his new book “A Brave New You: A Roadmap To Believing The More Is Possible” through a midlife lens, to uncover the 10 things for midlife women

Calling all midlifers! Today I’m reviewing my first year as a half-empty nest mom. Ugh! In this 15 min quickie, I have so many thoughts and questions that I know you’re probably having too… So, in the regular Flexible Neurotic style I’m getting honest and vulnerable in this solo mini-sode. With one kid (teen son) in college and the other finishing her junior year of high school, I’m feeling all the feels. This was a “year-of-firsts” (kid in college) in so many ways and next year will be another “year-of-lasts” (last high school prom), ugh again! Teen daughter will be graduating from high school. If you are a midlifer, empty-nester, and/or generally feeling like “WTF?” about midlife, this episode is definitely for you. 
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a new solo episode called “Midlife’s 10 Things”. In this episode I am recapping my ten “take aways” from my first year as a half empty-nester. I’m getting into all the questions I ask myself on a daily basis, including why is my kid not texting me back? And am I over ordering on Amazon as a coping mechanism? Yep, we’re getting real today. Get ready for the Midlife 10 Things, you won’t want to miss this mini-sode.

EP 118: Are you a midlife woman experiencing intense shoulder pain? I was!  Does your body just ache? Mine does. Is your doctor suggesting it’s just a pickle-ball injury or you just gotta push through the midlife grind? Mine was too! (even though I don’t play pickle-ball, lol) Are you knee deep digging through google for answers to why you can’t f*kn move your arms? Look no further because today’s guest has all the answers you are looking for about Frozen Shoulder, AKA Adhesive Capsulitis, the real medical term. And, the midlife “aches and pains” is called Arthralgia.
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in an educational conversation called “Midlife Body Aches & Frozen Shoulder”. My repeat guest, Dr. Vonda Wright is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon, best selling author and sought after speaker, empowering and educating women on longevity and health practices.
