The Flexible Neurotic

EP 135: Ready to step into your main-character energy and say f*** to your inner b****? Into some “LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME? Feeling a little stuck and not sure how to chase those big dreams or even the little ones? No worries, I got you! Today’s guest is a total pro at helping you transform, get unstuck, and build the life you’ve been dreaming of…Get ready for some serious inspiration and some quantum leaping.

In this episode of the Flexible Neurotic Podcast, I sat down with licensed family and marriage therapist, life coach and entrepreneur Margot Miller. She’s the founder and CEO of "Her Unapologetic Success", a place for female entrepreneurs to break free from codependent survival roles and step into main character energy. I love it!

In this episode, we are getting into everything from self-transformation and empowerment, to mindset and personal growth. Margot emphasizes the significance of self-worth and the ability to embrace true self-authenticity and the importance of unapologetically going "for it" at any age. Get ready for action items around positive thinking and creating space for new opportunities. With some “delulu” on the side.

As always, this episode is available on Youtube!

EP 134: As a midlife woman, do you ever feel like maybe you don’t really know what your style is with clothes and how you express yourself? Sometimes you are boho chic, while other times you are preppy chic. Do you ever crave the ease of a “capsule” wardrobe? A magical closet fairy who can solve your outfit dramas? Me too! 

I got your back! In this episode, I am joined by wardrobe stylist and fellow midlifer who just did her own personal midlife pivot, Kim Preis. This was like a blind date because I really just met her for the first time, so we are all getting to know her together. 

Join me as we dig deep into Kim’s journey in the fashion industry and common challenges that women in midlife face in regards to style and confidence. Kim emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and finding joy in personal style.

EP 133: Title: A Juicy Midlife… Parenthood, Creative outlets, And The Importance Of Female Friends 

This is like the midlife bestie chat where you feel like a “fly on the wall” with two women getting into it all. “I threw out my back picking up something in the shower. Is this really where I am at right now, in midlife?” LOL.

Today I am joined by midlife hottie, mom, social media superstar and top jewelry designer, Melinda Spiegel of Melinda Maria Jewelry. Today we are getting into everything midlife from parenting and following your passions to longevity and beauty routines. Let’s talk about our “angry b**** hormones”...Melinda’s thoughts on midlife friendships, hormones, husbands and parenting & of course the midlife “peeing all the time”...& is “manopause” real and happening? And, how I am making my whole family do the “stool poop” tests…My teenagers really love me. LOL.

In typical Flexible Neurotic style we are getting honest and open and giving you so many dripping golden nuggets you will appreciate in midlife. We talk about entrepreneurial spirit, the impact of hormones, and the significance of pursuing your pivots. The beauty of “just starting the thing”. And, if you want to hear about Melinda’s supplements, workouts, her thoughtful eating habits…

This is my second episode with Melinda. The first episode was during the pandemic and you can enjoy this episode too

EP 132: Are you a midlife woman who kinda just wants to be able to DM another midlife woman and say “I’m sweating, I’m bored, I am sad my kids left the house”…? Me too. That's why I answer all of my IG DM messages.

I just started a little minisode series called “in my DM’s”… I will do quick episodes reading and responding to some of my listener DM’s. You can complain, commiserate or ask me questions! 

We unpacked my midlife baggage… we unpacked my emotional baggage… and today we are unpacking my DMs. 

You guys know that I respond to every single one of your messages! I love the community that we have built and I want to share some messages because I know that other midlife women are either feeling the same or have the same question that you do. 

We are digging deep into my inbox to discuss our shared experience with hormones, doctors, fitness and all things midlife. You won’t want to miss this solo mini sode, also available on youtube!

EP 130: Permission for the “ugly cry” is granted. “midlife mom” mixed with “empty nest” or “half empty nest”, omg! Get ready for a new solo mini-sode where I get into everything empty nest (half empty nest) and “teen son” as I call him is now “college son”. He just left for his sophomore year of college. I’m heading into my second “year of lasts” (last prom, last SAT, last college apps) with “teen daughter”, finishing her last year of high school and I’m trying to stay present for all of it, “hard and good” as I say! 

I am digging deep with all of you into my personal journey through the “ugh’s and fabulosities” of parenting in midlife and the transition to an empty nest. I’m still a “half empty nester”. I know you’re feeling it too and I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. Parenting sh** mixed with new feelings of feeling irrelevant. Woosh!     When we enter an “empty nest” era, our mom duties change from “mangager to consultant” and the need for self-reflection, personal growth and humor is necessary. Getting real with you, per usual.  Today, I am giving you practical golden nuggets for navigating this experience! You won’t want to miss this episode, also available on Youtube!

EP 128: Mocktails, pickleball, midlife friendships & marriage and top health hacks….did I peak your interest? Do you ever wonder why you feel so stuck in midlife? Part of it is that we aren’t experimenting and trying new things. We made our kids try new sports or take that random art class, yet we don’t apply the same expectations to ourselves as midlifers.

In this episode, I’m joined by long-time friend, cooking instructor and Instagram phenomenon, Pamela Salzman. We are covering midlife health, routines, keeping your brain sharp and so much more. Pamela is sharing her experiences as an entrepreneur, empty-nester, and health influencer. We also talk about realigning midlife friendships and finding inspiration in “non traditional” paths for midlife pivot. And, we of course talk about marriage and our husbands.

This was such a fun and layered conversation, I loved deep diving in Pamela’s life and you will appreciate her candor with her midlife advice.

EP 126: Putting yourself first in midlife. Yes! Hard and good! Thinking about “midlife self reinvention”? It doesn’t mean you are “burning the house down”...It just means you are looking for your “next thing” in midlife. Maybe you are seeking passion, purpose, meaning or even some novelty. You are not alone. Most of us feel this way. Ready to mix-it-up in midlife? Wanting to be in touch with your inner voice? Looking for ways to prioritize your midlife mental health? Then this episode is for you! Today’s guest is telling us how she put herself first at 40 and why it was the best decision she’s ever made. 

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a new podcast episode all about midlife reinvention, mindfulness and what it looks like to prioritize emotional wellness.
