Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Sarah Milken

Ladies, listen up! If you’ve been raising kids, attending to everyone else in the house, and finally ready to do you, then you must listen to our special guest today, #SarahMilken, host of The Flexible Neurotic Podcast.

When Sarah’s kids hit middle school, this Phd-educated, stay-at-home mama asked herself, “what’s next?”
After meeting with trusted friends, two life coaches, and a true heart-to-heart with herself, Sarah realized her next chapter was starting a podcast, and she had NO idea where to start. She wasn’t even on social media!

Was she afraid she’d fail or no one would listen? Yup. Did she dive in anyway? Yup. She talks with #DeborahZaraKobylt about it on #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and wants other women to hear her story as inspiration.

Hear all about Sarah’s podcast, her life as a west side LA mommy, and how she’s killing it in the podcast arena🎙
