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 Michele Nidiffer on:
Healing Through the Senses
Michele shares how scent, sound, and movement have helped her connect more deeply with herself and others. Her practices, including sensory walks and aromatherapy, serve as gentle invitations to slow down and tune in.Living in Alignment with Nature
Rooted in the rhythms of the seasons, Michele’s approach to life and work embraces natural cycles of rest, renewal, and bloom. She encourages midlife women to honor their internal seasons with softness and curiosity.Creative Expression as Soul Work
Michele reflects on her artistic journey and how creativity has served as both a mirror and balm through her life’s transitions. From nature-based art to writing, her creativity flows from a deep well of intuition and wonder.The Beauty of Tending to Yourself
Michele models a nourishing self-relationship by integrating rituals like journaling, flower arranging, and intuitive movement. Her story is a reminder that tending to ourselves is not selfish—it’s sacred.
