Tranquility Du Jour

In this week’s edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with Julia Coney on: Intentional Living and Midlife PrioritiesJulia shares how midlife has invited her to slow down, be kinder to herself, and intentionally curate how she spends her time. From planning monthly bed days to saying no without guilt, she’s embracing presence over pressure and finding joy in the everyday. The Power of Routine and ReflectionWith three key notebooks—a planner, a journal, and a commonplace book—Julia tracks her thoughts, growth, and ideas. She begins each day with reading (sometimes just 10 minutes!) and carves out space to be fully offline and undistracted by devices. Midlife Career Reinvention and CuriosityJulia reflects on her shift from legal assistant to beauty blogger to wine educator and now co-founder of a luxury food, wine, and wellness travel company.
