In this week’s edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with returning guest Victoria Moran on:

• Aging with Purpose: Victoria emphasizes the importance of embracing life’s later stages with intention and vibrancy. She believes midlife and beyond are times for self-reflection, continued growth, and redefining what it means to "age like a yogi," focusing on spirituality, health, and leaving a positive legacy.
• Body and Health Changes in Midlife: She speaks candidly about the physical shifts that come with aging, such as changes in body shape and health. Victoria encourages listeners to approach these changes with self-compassion and acceptance, viewing their bodies as "vintage homes" that require extra care and attention.
• Building Resilience Through Routine: With her background in yoga and Ayurveda, Victoria suggests grounding practices like maintaining a daily routine, practicing mindful eating, and prioritizing self-care rituals that nourish the body and soothe the nervous system, especially during life’s transitions.
• Celebrating Midlife Beauty and Connection: Victoria champions seeing beauty in oneself and others at every age, encouraging women to connect with their community and embrace the wisdom and elegance that come with life experience.
