Show Notes

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about recreating yourself in the second half of life with my role model and friend, Angella Nazarian. Get your golden shit shovels ready as we uncover the golden nuggets and secret sauce to being a visionary woman. She gives us a TON of actionable items to start living more flexibly and creatively TODAY and will help us find our sweet spots between neurotic and chill.

Angella gives us a look into her life as an immigrant from Iran, how that “outsider status” shaped her relationships with those around her, and how it taught her to care less about what people think about you and to become a self-sufficient and independent woman. She teaches us how to create a group of visionary women around ourselves to help us achieve maximum greatness. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on our strengths and creating the greatest version of ourselves…. without getting stuck on our weaknesses. However, the most important lesson she teaches us is the steps to take to actually getting our shit together today... and start living our best lives with some of her favorite and life-changing books (you MUST read these!)

Angella gave us a gold rush of golden nuggets in this episode, but some of my faves were:

  • Take the first step

  • Find your untapped source of energy

  • Choose your personal board of directors wisely

  • Recognize that this layered self recreation journey is normal

  • Capitalize on your strengths, don’t get too focused on fixing your weaknesses

  • Don’t be afraid to get some heat.  If you’re a woman who is taking next steps and putting herself out there, you might not always be liked...you won’t always be liked.

Angella and I discuss a million incredible things, but most importantly:

  • Finding our soul's purpose and how it relates to our passions and strengths

  • How to face the second half of life with strength, beauty and creating inspiration

  • Steps to recreate ourselves in the second half of life

This is Dr. Sarah Milken, The Flexible Neurotic, inspiring you to gather, curate, incorporate…maybe even meditate.

Angella’s Bio:

Angella Nazarian is a true icon of a woman who is capable of doing it all. She is the co-founder of VISIONARY WOMEN, a non-profit women’s leadership organization in Los Angeles that brings together some of the most dynamic thought leaders in the country together for in-depth conversations. Between inspiring hundreds of women and raising her beautiful children, she even found time to become a best selling author. She wrote four books: Life as a Visitor, Pioneers of the Possible: Celebrating Visionary Women of the World, and Visionary Women. And a newly released book, “Creative Couples” that is on its second printing. Just when you thought she couldn’t do more, she somehow found time in her second half of life to become an avid flamenco dancer.
