Welcome to Season 2 of Tranquility du Jour! We’re diving deep into the world of midlife (35+). 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.
Each episode will explore topics like redefining identity, cultivating self-care rituals, finding purpose, and managing physical changes. Together, we’ll chat with inspiring guests, learn practical tips, and create space for the reflection and insights.
