Co-Creating Your Midlife Tribe
EP 89: Are you ready for the midlife brunch table? A literal and metaphorical place, a table where we curate, who gets to be amongst our midlife peeps. Do you find yourself thinking... who's at my midlife table? I got you! Have you noticed how the characters in Sex and The City have changed and stayed the same in so many ways over the years? Did it all happen how you imagined it would? Of course not! And that’s the beauty of midlife and aging, we all have agency to change and stay the same in endless ways. Ready to dig deep into midlife friendships? Then this episode is for you!
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a fun and reflective conversation called “Co-Creating Your Midlife Tribe”. In this solo episode we get into the “Carrie” archetype and continue to scratch the surface of why curating your own Midlife Remix Brunch Table is right for you. I also chat about one of my upcoming personal experience/courses for women who listen to my podcast. It's going to be full of sass information, expertise and rad women who want to vibe together. We are going to get into midlife self reinvention strategy and what works and what doesn’t. This “Midlife Remix Brunch Table Experience” will be all sorts of midlife women coming together to support and inspire each other through curated conversations and quality time. Yes, there will be Samanthas, Carries, Mirandas and Charlottes and it’s important to have midlife peeps with diverse perspectives and experiences to connect with and learn from. Today we are talking all about Carrie, the chic co-creator.
Highlights:
- Opportunities to surround yourself with like vibed women!
- Who am I now?! Empty nest and midlife brain fog... ugh
- Effort and investment required for midlife friendships
- The importance of a diverse groups of friends
- Carrie is flawed as fuck!
- The accessory that matches everything, self acceptance!
- The power of embracing your flaws!

Half Empty Nest, Now What?
EP 91: Are you an “empty nester” or getting close? I am what I call a "half empty nester” with my oldest kid who just went to college ten days ago. Are you redefining your role as a mom in midlife? I sure am! Have 1 or more kids in college or out of the house? Are you a midlife mom looking for more meaning, purpose and connection? Perhaps feeling slightly irrelevant and/or invisible? Me too! Then this episode is for you! If you are experiencing the empty nest process yourself (or preparing to in the next little while) then I might have everything you need to tackle this new step in your life.
You’ll learn:
- About moving out of denial and into acceptance. Yes, you have a child that is old enough to graduate from high school and move out of the house
- No, that doesn’t mean you’re irrelevant. Listen to find out why
- Expect the tears to come in the unexpected moments, you can’t plan for those emotions
- Partial acceptance is a step in the right direction
- Navigating the stage of self pity
- How I feel like I am in a “Jell-o State” & the “Ugh Hotel”
