Listen "Accidental Alpha"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with Karen Wright on: Embracing Change and Midlife Growth: Karen shared how midlife, for her, is about embracing change and maintaining curiosity. From letting her hair go gray to finding freedom in evolving roles as a mother and professional, she views growth as a constant and necessary part of life. The Power of Saying Yes (and No): Karen emphasized the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities that bring joy and meaning while also learning to say "no" to expectations that don't align with your values. This balance helps create space for more fulfilling experiences. The Accidental Alpha Woman Framework: In her book, Karen introduces a framework (R.E.C.E.I.V.E.) to help women navigate overwhelming responsibilities. It includes tools like managing energy, finding your voice, and seeking ease while learning to accept help and resources. Finding Tranquility in Nature and Travel: Karen spoke about the rejuvenating power of being near water, whether walking along the lake in Toronto or by the Seine in Paris. Travel and experiencing new places remain central to her self-care and personal growth. Hit subscribe on your favorite podcast app such as Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon.
