Fun and inspiring for midlife women!

I love this show and Sarah inspired me to create my own podcast which I launched with a fellow health coach in 2023. She even answered my DM back in 2022 when I had no idea where to start! I really enjoyed listening to the latest episode featuring Health with Hunter. I follow him on instagram and it was fun to hear his story first hand. I think Sarah’s message is powerful. It’s never too late to try new things, pursue dreams and take care of our health. We have to pivot in midlife if we want to age strong!

Such a great podcast!

I absolutely love this podcast. As a mid-lifer, there is so much information out there and it can be hard to sift through it all, but Sarah talks to so many wonderful experts that provide such great information. She always asks the question I am thinking of as I am listening. The best part is that she takes the time to break down even the most complex information and provide a simplified version of how to use this knowledge to better our well being. She is so funny and relatable as well. I often stop and take notes for things I want to try or research further. Thank you Sarah!

Topical and Relatable

I’m not a huge podcast listener, but I make the time to listen to new episodes of The Flexible Neurotic and have shared it with so many friends. Sarah’s honest and open conversational style makes you feel like you’ve been friends since college. Highly recommend!

Love Your Podcast with Pamela Salzman

Real and relatable! Love the easy-to-apply advice. What really stuck with me is that there are so many things women can do to improve their health and wellness in mid-life and beyond BUT you don’t have to or need to do everything. Find what works for you and fits into your lifestyle. You don’t have to be perfect. Doing anything is better than doing nothing at all. Focus on the process instead of the outcome!! Excited to listen to future episodes!

Loved your podcast. Full of real life gems and nuggets for reinventing and rediscovering one’s self. With a dose of levity, a bucket of practical tools mixed with depth and meaning, you make this transition not only sound exciting but thrilling too. The idea that the next version and evolution of ourselves is not only possible but calling us forward is so welcoming!!! And love the friendship between you two. Onward. Xo

Midlife Magic, Love this Podcast

Love the Flexible Neurotic Podcast. It inspired me to get up and do something in midlife. As a half empty nester, I was looking for my next thing. There are so many great midlife nuggets in every episode. This week Jennifer Fisher was on the podcast. As I was listening to them talk about everything midlife, I felt like I was on the couch talking to my girlfriends about all our concerns and life changes. A must listen 🩷.

Best Podcast for Mid Life

This podcast literally saved me going into middle age. As I was turning 50, I was so stressed out thinking midlife meant nearing end of life… I realized from all the great people on this podcast that are invited guests have wonderful knowledge and nuggets of wisdom. I really do enjoy the show and feel like Sarah is very engaged with all of us. Tune in -such a great podcast!

Salt of the earth in the exact time we need it

Humor helps us all make our way through this zany time of life and Sarah deals it out in spades. Down to earth and research-based, she shares info that changes lives, and she even comes around with reminders because, ya know, midlife brains be like that.

Keeping it real

Midlife can be freaking HARD. Couple that with your hormones being out of whack, weight gain, fatigue … the list goes on and on. I really did feel like I was on an island - and then I found The Flexible Neurotic podcast. Every time I listen not only do I learn something new, I laugh out loud and immediately call my best friend to debrief. The perfect podcast to listen to as you put in the work to find your path through midlife.

In Total Alignment with This Podcast!

Sarah’s topics hit so close to home in my personal world! Being an almost Empty Nester and having needed to feel re-invented has led me to embark on the path to create my own health coaching business that allows me to express my passions and feel a sense of purpose. I love sharing her topics with my friends and followers, it’s so real and she puts it all out there!
Abloomleff

My new fave! mix of validating, inspiring, and funny!

Every single thing Sarah discusses about being in midlife is so relatable. I always feel so validated when I listen and she is hits the nail on the head with the emotions, body changes, parenting changes. Love every single episode!

Listening to a friend

I am neither a Mom, Married or Jewish however this show is a gem and relatable to anyone. Todays episode I laughed out loud and the discussion was incredibly helpful I am in my early/mid 50’s and on the path of starting my second chapter. It is great to hear women of a certain age group just discuss life and shoot the $h!t!!! 🩷 Thank you

If your a midlife woman you need to listen to this podcast

Informative and Insighful

I’ve been following Sarah for a while on Instagram and finally got around to listening the podcast with Kim Shapira. I loved this podcast so much. Great conversation and so much knowledge. I will be listening more often!

Terrible

I really tried to enjoy this podcast, but she is extremely self-centered, and extremely entitled.
2pigs&1cat

Hilarious & Relatable!

I’ve had many moments of frustration, confusion and “blahness” during my midlife journey and finding the Flexible Neurotic podcast has been a lifesaver! Sarah is so generous with sharing her research and information and genuinely cares for all of us women to thrive during midlife. Thank you Sarah for being so authentic and funny. I just dropped my firstborn at college and going through this journey with her and other mamas has been the comfort and support I need right now.

It is crazy what you don’t know until you listen to this podcast. I’m already making behavioural and diet changes that hopefully set me up for longevity and good health. Love the golden nuggets at the end too. thank you!

Required Listening - Mid life Manual

This podcast is extremely helpful in navigating mid life, and every change that has happened, is happening, and will happen to women. I applaud Sarah for making this podcast and helping women get through an extremely confusing and uncharted part of their life.

Perfect podcast for me!

Thank you Sarah for reinventing yourself and starting The Flexible Neurotic Podcast!

Funny & Relatable!

I’m hooked! Great topics for us mid life women! I laugh and learn something new every episode.

Fun Podcast for MidLife Women

I enjoy the platform Dr. Milken has created for midlife women to feel less alone, and less crazy. The guests are funny and interesting. However, most are “all in” on all the medical advancements to make women look and feel “more like themselves.“ I prefer a more European approach to aging gracefully for myself, but so enjoy knowing what is out there for us and learning more about it. Keep up the good work, building this community!

My mom’s bff; my future life coach

Confession: I’m in my late 20s. But Dr. Sarah’s podcast provides all of the content I need to prepare for what my life will look like in midlife, while allowing me to relate to my mom’s life now… with her signature hysterical Dr. Sarah style, I often feel like I’m listening to (my mom’s) bff talking, rather than a podcast… do yourself a favor and LISTEN!

Meet your new podcast best friend, The Flexible Neurotic

I love this podcast!! Sarah does her research and asks the questions of her guests that I would ask. Her guests are incredibly interesting and each time I listen I learn something new. What I love most about this podcast is that Sarah is relatable, funny and authentic. She’s making midlife a cool new journey and as a fellow midlife woman, I’m here for it. Thank you Sarah!
