Tranquility du Jour Podcast #2: It's Not Too Late
Season 2
Welcome to Season 2 of Tranquility du Jour, where we’re diving deep into the world of midlife. This season is all about you. Whether you're facing new beginnings, embracing change, or simply seeking more balance and beauty in your daily life, this season is designed to help you feel seen.
Join me on this journey as we navigate midlife together—one tranquil (and not-so-tranquil) moment at a time. In this weeks edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with returning guest Jennifer Louden. We discuss:
Shift in Ambition: Jenn discussed how her ambition has evolved in midlife, shifting from external validation and proving herself to living with more intention and focusing on the preciousness of life.
Navigating Grief: Experiencing the loss of loved ones deeply impacted her, reinforcing the value of life and prompting her to focus on what truly matters.
Community and Relationships: Building strong, meaningful connections, particularly with her husband and neighborhood community, has been an essential part of her healing and growth in midlife.
Wellness and Mental Health: Jenn emphasized the importance of physical wellness, especially exercise, and maintaining mental health through daily routines like limiting social media use and staying grounded.
