Dr. Sarah Milken is the creator and host of the podcast The Flexible Neurotic, where she and her female listeners explore reinventing themselves in the second half of life, together.

Sarah is inspiring midlife women to focus on themselves and to dig deep (her show’s symbol is a golden shit shovel) to uncover new possibilities for their lives. Sarah has amassed thousands of Instagram followers and has created a dedicated and engaged community with her podcast that ranks in the top 1%. Sarah graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania, with a B.A. in communications, and went on to receive her PhD in Educational Psychology at the University of Southern California, after which she taught in the graduate school of education at USC. She has served on several philanthropic boards as well as the board of a Los Angeles private school.

After taking time off to raise her two children (now teens), she realized she needed to recreate herself and capitalize on all of her strengths, hence the Flexible Neurotic podcast was born. Sarah and her husband, Jeremy, live in Pacific Palisades, California. They are currently 1⁄2 empty nesters, with one 12th grade daughter at home, and their son is currently attending the University of Pennsylvania.
