Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about following our passions, facing our fears and trying new things in the second half of life with Susan Yeagley and Kevin Nealon. Susan and Kevin have been married for almost 20 years and are both successful actors. Kevin started his career in stand up comedy on SNL and went on to star in Weeds, and now his own show Hiking with Kevin. Susan started her career in the film Almost Famous and went on to appear in many famous television shows, including Parks and Recreation and Everybody Loves Raymond. They are giving us the tools we need to become more courageous, figure out what our passions are and learn to talk about our failures in the second half of life.
