The Flexible Neurotic

By: Dr. Sarah Milken
  • Summary

  • Dr. Sarah Milken, aka The Flexible Neurotic, is wickedly smart, really fucking funny, and so relatable that you might just think she’s your real bff. When she hit midlife, she looked at her judgmental dog and thought, “damn, this can’t be it.” So she grabbed her golden shit shovel, confirmed her next botox appointment, and decided to remix midlife. You’ll get in-depth conversations with thought leaders, doctors and women just like you, who are not defined by age or some bullshit crisis, but rather continue to strive and ask for more for themselves. Sarah will guide you, and maybe make you laugh so hard you get the midlife sneeze pee. Grab your wine and let’s go!

  • Midlife’s 10 Things!
    May 16 2024

    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.

  • Midlife Body Aches & Frozen Shoulder
    May 9 2024

    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. I got so many messages about Frozen Shoulder that I asked her to come back and do a special episode answering all of your unanswered questions. 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.

I love this life altering Podcast.

I totally love this podcast. Dr. Sarah really takes the time to make, "it real!" Mid-life isn't easy. Being a female compounds the challenges. I love and appreciate how she makes all her topics genuine. As my days creep closer to my 50th Birthday 🎂 I find myself excited. Ready to start this new adventure.
