EP 69: Calling all midlife women who are questioning their “who, why, what and where” in midlife…divorce, dating, remarriage, and finding your midlife “bold” again. You aren’t destined to sit on a park bench in midlife. We are reframing the midlife narrative “boldly”, our way!

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an open and honest conversation called, “Living Midlife ‘Boldly’...Just the Way we Like it!”. My guest, Tamsen Fadal, is an Emmy award winning journalist, podcaster, evening news anchor and author. We discuss how to live “boldly” in midlife by taking a deep dive into Tamsen’s personal experience with menopause, aging, her public divorce, remarriage and so much more! We cover the importance of rediscovering yourself in the second half of life. Tamsen is a midlife woman like me, who is sharing her vulnerabilities to change the midlife narrative from “taboo” to “everyday” conversations. She explains that this second half of life is now the “prime” of her life. Tamsen teaches us how to live the “midlife runway” our way! Bye bye “midlife have to’s” & hello “midlife want to’s”.

Some Highlights: 

• Midlife divorce & trusting your intuition
• Personal rebrand & vulnerability
• Finding appreciation in aging
• Making new friends as a midlifer 
• Finding your “bold” in midlife

You might want to shake up your nutrition, add some supplements, “cold plunge” or even jump on a mini trampoline for lymphatic drainage.

In this second chapter of her life, Abbie is giving herself permission for the “self reinvention/midlife remix” to live by her own set of rules in her wellness lifestyle and personal life.

EP 43: The Midlife Cry, Hormones & Irregular Bleeding. I think I got your attention. You are quietly saying “me too”...Do you ever feel like perimenopause symptoms get the best of you at the worst times? I do…I feel like everything happens at once and it’s hard to climb out of that funk. Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in my solo episode, The Midlife Cry, Hormones & Irregular Bleeding. This is my third minisode of The Midlife Golden Sh*t Shovel Cluster F*ck Series. In this week’s minisode, I dive deep into the struggles of my month-long bleeding fiasco, while I take four teenagers on a ski trip. I tell you about the doctors appointments, what you should ask & the 411 on irregular bleeding. Sounds like a blast right? Trust me…it can be hard trying to juggle mom life with perimenopause rearing its ugly head. And, in this episode you get a first hand experience of dealing with just that. I learned that being honest with myself, friends & my IG community and sharing my vulnerabilities, I could help other midlife women to raise their hands and say “me too”. It is very normalizing to raise your hand with others raising their hands, in the roller coaster of the midlife journey.

Some Highlights: 

• Take midlife by the horns!
• Take the time to focus on your health
• Choose what works best for you
• How to efficiently wash your underwear on vacation
