In this episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie sits down with Diane Allen, a concertmaster violinist and expert on the science and soul of the flow state—that sweet spot where you’re fully immersed, energized, and at your absolute best. Diane breaks down what flow really is (hint: it’s not just “going with it”) and shares how it's rooted in neuroscience and positive psychology. She explains how tapping into this optimal state of consciousness can help us experience greater joy, purpose, and performance—no matter our age or stage in life.
With humor, heart, and decades of experience, Diane walks us through how to recognize our own personal flow triggers, and why discovering them might just be the key to a more vibrant, fulfilling chapter after 50. Whether you’re picking up a new hobby, launching a second-act career, or just trying to stay present in a chaotic world, this conversation will leave you inspired to find—and follow—your flow.
