The Flexible Neurotic

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.

Some highlights:

• How changing her mindset, considering her anchors, and other tools helped find her center
• How raising kids the second time around has been different
• Tools to find your center
• How to find your triggers
• How to find a meditation practice that works for you
• Putting your relationship with you first
• How the path to sobriety changed Ryan’s life
• How to re-find your center when your kids were once your center

Golden Nuggets from the episode:

• Find your center
• Notice your triggers
• Find a meditation practice
• Give yourself permission to reinvent
• Be okay with letting go

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about learning how to thrive, not just survive in our second half of life with Elissa Goodman. Elissa Goodman is a holistic nutritionist and lifestyle cleanse expert to an A-list roster of celebrities. After being diagnosed with cancer at 32 and then losing her husband to his own fight with cancer, Elissa dove deep into finding solutions for helping to cure cancer and many other health problems. Her quest to heal her own cancer led her into being a fountain of health and lifestyle change & solutions for thousands of her clients. She wrote the best-selling book “Cancer Hacks” and has an upcoming book called “Auto-immune Hacks”. Elissa also offers a soup cleanse program to help reset the body, and a digital 7 day reset as well. Elissa is giving us the tools we need to create a healthier lifestyle from the inside out and make our bodies the strongest they can be in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Elissa’s journey into her second half of life, and how she was able to move past trauma and illness and change her life entirely.

In this episode, we learned the benefits of cleansing, juicing, supplements, stress reduction and cancer prevention hacks. We talk about how her own personal experiences with cancer and other illnesses led her to a “vending machine” of different remedies from trauma therapy, to energy healing, journaling, meditation, and then finally nutrition. She was able to try many different things, cure her cancer and find some personal inner calm. Elissa recommends trying many different modalities. It’s not a one size fits all approach to health. She also believes in the importance of testing our bodies for deficiencies so we can better use supplements. She figured out the secrets to thriving, not just surviving. In this process, she also discovered her purpose and why for her second half of life, in helping people heal from physical and mental issues and find a fountain of longevity and good health.

Elissa teaches us all about the importance of plant-based diets and juicing without sugar fruits, and how these plants & veggies are able to help eliminate illness, reduce inflammation and improve our mental health. While it is important to eat more plants and vegetables, it doesn’t mean you have to cut out meat and animal products entirely... it is possible to still enjoy yourself. She also talks to us about how stress and trauma have a physical impact on our bodies, and if we don’t work to reduce it, it can end up having physical manifestations in our body. With varying combinations of different practices, journaling or finding a practice to reduce stress, cleaning up our eating and social connection, we can become the healthiest versions of ourselves.

After listening to this episode, you will be able to improve all aspects of your health, from the inside out & kickstart the new year filled with transformation and thriving, not just surviving.

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about anti-aging in the second half of life with Dr. Jason Diamond. Dr. Diamond is a Board-Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Beverly Hills, specializing in surgical & non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Diamond has developed a long standing reputation for making his patients look youthful, yet completely natural, as seen on E! Network’s hit reality television show, Dr. 90210. “My patients don’t look done,” Dr. Diamond says. “They just look great.” Dr. Diamond is sharing the tools we need to rejuvenate, refresh and radiate ourselves in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Dr. Diamond’s journey to becoming one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the world and how he created the Diamond “Insta-Facial” and Diamond Sculpting filler technique, to make women look ageless.

In this episode, we found the sweet spot in learning about the aging of the face. We learned Dr. Diamond’s philosophy on the art of plastic surgery, the benefits of certain procedures vs. others, augmenting our facial structure, and things we need to know as red flags, before we commit to letting work be done on our faces. If you ever wanted to know more about facial plastic surgery or about almost every facial procedure under the sun... this is the episode for you.

Dr. Diamond talks to us about the stigma that often surrounds facial plastic surgery, and why it is important that we do what we want for us, not external validation.. Social media has played an important role in reducing the stigma of getting procedures and plastic surgery, but it has also made people have unrealistic expectations. Dr. Diamond talks about how clients often come to see him and expect to “look like Kim Kardashian,” when in reality, Dr. Diamond is an expert at highlighting one’s own facial features and emphasizing all of the right contours of your face. He talks to us about how he created the practice that he has today, and how he became an expert from learning from all of the top experts. He was able to pick up thousands of different techniques to create the Diamond methods that he uses today.

After listening to this episode, you will have learned the ins and outs of facial plastic surgery, treatments and procedures...from what to do & what not to do, to who to see and what is best for you (if anything at all).
