What if the recipe to lifelong vitality wasn’t just about diet and exercise, but about embracing everyday moments so you can age like a yogi?
Victoria Moran feels like a kindred spirit, my soul sister from another lifetime. From the moment I saw her speak at a plant-based conference, I was captivated. She radiated Stevie Nicks energy with a sprinkle of “future Brittney” vibes, and I knew I had to connect with her.
Victoria is an author of over 14 books including her latest release, Age Like a Yogi, podcast host, and fellow vegan who lights up the world with her mission that aging doesn’t mean slowing down on dreams or reducing vitality, but about using spiritual and physical practices to maintain a fulfilling, energetic life.
In this episode of The Elevated Life podcast, we’re sharing “The Recipe for Lifelong Vitality with Victoria Moran” so you can make mindful choices and age gracefully all while staying true to your authentic self. If you’re looking for soulful strategies to maintain your vitality and zest for life, this episode is your guide to thriving at any stage.
Tune in to hear:
- The joys and challenges of a plant-based lifestyle
- How to maintain empathy with the world while protecting your heart from overwhelm
- Why “using the fine china” in everyday life is the key to finding joy in the present moment
- Ways to align your lifestyle with your personal values for a more fulfilling life
The Recipe for Lifelong Vitality with Victoria Moran
Use the Fine China
Victoria firmly believes in stop saving the good stuff for later. Life is happening right now, and those moments you’re waiting to celebrate? They’re already here. Whether it’s the fancy plates gathering dust or that killer outfit you’re “waiting” to wear, Victoria challenges us to make the everyday extraordinary. Use the fine china. Light the fancy candles. Put on the dress that makes you feel amazing. The present moment is the only one we’re guaranteed. Stop waiting, start living.
Rebel with a Cause
Choosing authenticity can feel like a full-on rebellion when the rest of the world thrives on fitting in. Victoria takes us through her journey into veganism and yoga. These choices that were once considered, well, a little out there. But she learned along the way that being true to yourself is always worth it. Rebellion doesn’t have to be loud or chaotic; it can be quiet, intentional, and powerful. The courage to go against the grain opens the door to self-discovery.
Ride the Ever-Changing Waves of Life
Life, much like yoga, is a constant ebb and flow. One day you’re in high-energy vinyasa mode, and the next, you’re sinking into a calming yin pose. Victoria reminds us that the secret to thriving isn’t in finding some mythical “perfect plan” but in adapting gracefully to life’s inevitable changes. Flexibility, not rigidity, is what carries us through life’s highs and lows. So when the tides shift, pivot instead of panicking. Let go of the need for control, and trust that growth comes from riding the waves, not fighting against them.
Empathize, But Protect Your Peace
If you’ve ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders, this one’s for you. Victoria knows what it’s like to be a sensitive soul, deeply affected by the world’s suffering. Her advice is to care deeply, but not to the point where it drains you. Empathy is a gift, but even gifts need boundaries. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so it’s essential to protect your energy while staying informed. Take breaks when you need them, step back when it’s too much, and remember that staying grounded is the key to showing up and making a real difference.
