Tranquility du Jour #13: ADHD in Midlife

Season 2

Welcome to Season 2 of Tranquility du Jour, where we explore the joys and challenges of midlife. Join us for inspiring guests, practical tips, and space for meaningful reflections.

In this week’s edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with Caren Magill about:

• Embracing Midlife Evolution: Caren shared how midlife brings a sense of clarity and peace, with less focus on superficial concerns and more energy directed toward meaningful relationships, health, and personal growth.

• The Power of Late ADHD Diagnosis: Caren’s ADHD diagnosis in her 50s, influenced by perimenopause and external circumstances, was a turning point. She highlighted the importance of understanding your unique brain, focusing on strengths, and designing a life that works for you.

• Intentional Living: Midlife offers an opportunity to be more discerning with relationships and activities, shedding people and pursuits that no longer align with your values. This intentionality fosters a deeper sense of self-awareness and joy.

• Prioritizing Wellness and Resilience: Caren emphasized the importance of sleep, mindfulness, and movement as foundational practices for overall well-being and navigating midlife challenges with grace and resilience.
