Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about finding our center and bringing meaning and purpose into our second half of life with Ryan Haddon. Ryan Haddon is a certified life and spiritual coach, hypnotherapist, and certified meditation teacher with over 16 years of experience with clients around the world. She is giving us the tools we need to become more centered and even find our identity in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Ryan’s journey of finding her soul’s purpose, and how her transition from Hollywood, CA to a farm in Pennsylvania, her spiritual and mental tools & her meditation practice changed her center entirely.

In this episode, we talk about finding our anchors, noticing our triggers and even how there have been some silver linings that came out of our 9 months in quarantine. Ryan explains that we are often leaning out of center, or looking for the next new thing and never are truly content with where we are or what we have... She even teaches us the tools to help find our centers… which is often a very challenging task for parents whose kids were once their center.

Ryan teaches us about hypnosis and how hypnosis unlocks the unconscious state  when our brain is most impressionable and receptive to change. Hypnosis is similar to meditation, but instead of doing it alone, it is a guided meditation by a hypnotist or trained expert. Ryan gave me a hypnosis recording, during March Covid,  where I learned my “Sarah Milken Special” meditation to do twice a week... to guide me through the second half of life.  We talked about the fear of judgment, my self limiting beliefs and all other vulnerabilities that came with beginning my own self recreation journey, at age 45.  Ryan was able to create the perfect hypnosis recording for me.

After listening to this episode, you will be able to start thinking about finding your center and jump head first into the new year with tools you need to start recreating today, judgment free.
