Join the Radiant Rebellion: Embracing Aging as Your Personal Revolution
Award-winning author and attorney Karen Walrond – featured guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show – joins us to expose the billion-dollar lie that’s made an entire generation fear their own future.
After helping thousands find purpose as “lightmakers,” Karen discovered something shocking: our culture’s anti-aging obsession isn’t just misguided – it’s manufactured by industries that profit from our fear.
The science reveals what cultures throughout history have always known: happiness actually increases in midlife. Yet we’ve been programmed to dread each birthday instead of celebrating the wisdom, freedom, and power that accumulates with age.
In this provocative live session, Karen talks with MEA’s Kari Cardinale about how to dismantle decades of conditioning and reclaim aging as the life-enriching adventure it was meant to be. Discover what your own “radiant rebellion” looks like.

Transformational Listening: Let Life Speak to You
March 11, 2026
11:30 AM PT
02:30 PM ET
Gail Larsen has spent 30+ years helping leaders, authors, and change-makers find their authentic voice – and she’ll tell you the real work doesn’t start with speaking. It starts with listening – the kind that picks up what your mind keeps overriding: body signals, timing, intuition, the quiet knowing you’ve been too busy to notice.
Join host Derek Gehl, who credits Gail’s work with changing how he leads and lives, for a conversation about what becomes possible when you stop trying to figure everything out and start letting life show you what’s next.
They’ll touch on:
- The shift from speaking to listening – and why it matters now
- How curiosity becomes the way through when certainty stops working
- Why play is a form of serious intelligence
- What it means to lead, decide, and live from deeper listening
- The nature of transformation and where it originates
This will be a listening-led conversation, followed by time for your questions. Whether you’re familiar with Gail’s work or meeting it for the first time, this hour is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and notice what’s already speaking beneath the noise.
If this conversation stirs something in you, consider going deeper with Gail in her Transformational Listening workshop at MEA — offered in both April and October. It’s an immersive exploration of how to access the deeper intelligence that’s always available when we learn to truly listen — to ourselves, to others, and to life itself. Choose the timing that fits best for you.
