Recent Releases:
Tranquilologie: A DIY Guide to Everyday Tranquility: This formerly released e-course has been enhanced, revised, and turned into a hardcover 200-page full-color artsy limited edition book to serve up even more inspiration. Only 1000 copies will be printed and each will be signed and numbered with love (and a pink pen). This do-it-yourself field guide takes you from January through December with doses of inspiration covering eight topics–mindfulness, self-care, nesting, do-gooding, work, style, creativity, dreams–in a nouveau way each month.

Tranquility du Jour Daybook: It's a pink planner, lifestyle organizer, and wellness guide all in one. This perfect complement to Tranquilologie is filled with checklists, inspiration, eye candy, and 52 dateless week spreads so you can start at anytime. Watch our how-to video with Carol Meyers.

I am the founder of Tranquil Space–named among the top 25 yoga studios in the world by Travel + Leisure, author of Hip Tranquil Chick, Tranquilista, and Tranquilologie, and hold a master’s in women’s studies and social work. When not bookstore browsing, you’ll find moi thrifting, practicing yoga on a leopard print mat, dreaming up new designs for TranquiliT, or leading retreats globally. With a passion for do-gooding, I co-launched Tranquil Space Foundation and am a cheerleader for animal rights. If you’re new to this journey, peruse my start here page.

Meet him: 
Tim Mooney is a Washington, DC-based attorney and entrepreneur with a passion for technology and the law. Tim’s legal career began in Oregon where he was a co-founder and legal counsel for Columbia Riverkeeper. Tim also served as legal advisor to the Portland-based X-PAC, a nonprofit organization committed to building a new generation of political leaders and community activists. He was the chair of the organization’s 2000 Young Voter Project and honored by the board as the 2000 Volunteer of the Year. Learn more.

Today we explore a question from Cornelia:
I’d be extremely interested in learning about how to build routines within an “unpredictable” lifestyle. What I mean is – how do you e.g. build a morning routine with Yoga and meditation or other sanity/tranquility-oriented routines when you e.g. travel a lot and often are in lots of different places with different time rhythms and demands?

Thank you so much for this Podcast and taking up my question! I'll immediately try the Morning-Routine thing and afterwards many more. Have taken notes and will now need to restrict myself to a sane amount of intentions :-) The principle of flexibility within structure also very much rang a bell. Good luck with your own plans and thanks thanks thanks again!
