Redefining the “Midlife Crisis”: Sarah Milken Tells It All

Welcome to another raw, unfiltered episode where we’re about to dive headfirst into the midlife remix! Our guest, Sarah, is a fearless trailblazer who rebranded herself from a stay-at-home mom to a dynamic top 1% podcast personality, hosting the “Flexible Neurotic” – and all this after turning 45! 

In this explosive episode, we’re smashing taboos and talking about everything from the sexy side of menopause to breaking free from the shackles of people-pleasing. We’re redefining performance, exploring the energetics under metrics, and embracing the woo-woo in the second half of life. 

 Tune in as we navigate the complicated, yet rewarding journey of midlife transformations, learning experiences, and much more. Buckle up because this is one intense, eye-opening ride you don’t want to miss!
