Summary

In this week's edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with Sacha Cohen on:

Reclaiming Passion and Prioritizing Joy
Sacha shares her journey back to freelance writing after running a strategic communications company for over a decade. She highlights how midlife has shifted her focus from ambition to joy, choosing projects and pursuits that truly fulfill her.
Navigating Perimenopause with Awareness and Adaptation
Experiencing perimenopause since 2018, Sacha emphasizes the importance of education, community, and self-care. She discusses dietary changes, strength training, and meditation as key strategies for managing this phase with resilience.
A Love for France and a Future Abroad
Sacha and her husband are slowly transitioning toward spending extended time in France, with hopes of making it a more permanent home. She shares insights into the joys and challenges of planning an international move, from navigating bureaucracy to embracing the adventure.
Finding Beauty in the Everyday
From baking Bundt cakes and birdwatching to curating a cozy home environment, Sacha embraces the art de vivre. She encourages small pleasures—flowers, music, and quiet moments—as a way to cultivate tranquility amid life's uncertainties.
