<description>&lt;p&gt;In this week’s edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with returning guest Tara Mohr on:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shifting Perspectives in Midlife&lt;/strong&gt;: Tara shares how her outlook has evolved in midlife, focusing more on relationships and appreciating life as it is, rather than constantly striving for change or improvement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Balancing "Go Forth" and "Right Here" Energy&lt;/strong&gt;: Tara describes two types of energy: "go forth" (creating, achieving) and "right here" (savoring, appreciating). In midlife, she has found more balance between these energies, especially through parenting and mindfulness.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sabbath Practice for Rejuvenation&lt;/strong&gt;: One of Tara's key practices is observing a weekly Sabbath—a time to stop producing and instead focus on savoring life. This intentional pause brings renewal and clarity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trusting the Creative Process&lt;/strong&gt;: Over the years, Tara has come to trust her creative process more, accepting that there will be messy drafts and clunky phases, but knowing that these are simply part of bringing her vision to life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hit subscribe on your favorite podcast app such as &lt;a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/15WVTpUQHnQObqXf8RPuzH" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spotify&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tranquility-du-jour/id81301757" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href= "https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cce3b7e6-6480-43b6-85b0-ff97a502cf90/Tranquility-du-Jour?ref=dm_wcp_podcast_link_th" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amazon&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Visit &lt;a href="https://www.kimberlywilson.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;kimberlywilson.com/podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;for more and &lt;a href="https://www.kimberlywilson.substack.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Substack&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for shownotes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Grab your journal, a cuppa tea, and settle in.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Our Guest: Tara Mohr&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tara Sophia Mohr&lt;/strong&gt; is an expert on women’s leadership and well-being, and an author, educator and certified coach.
