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.

We get into everything from the causes, treatments and prevention of Frozen Shoulder in midlife. And, we get into the midlife “aches and pains”! You won’t want to miss this episode.

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.
