Life Reimagined: Unlocking the Power of Purpose

What if purpose isn’t something you chase but something you live, one moment at a time?

World-renowned purpose pioneer Richard Leider joins MEA’s Kari Cardinale for an inspiring conversation about how to move from asking “What’s next?” to “What really matters?”

Drawing from decades of coaching, research, and his own lived experience, Richard shares how everyday choices — what he calls “little p” purpose — can lead to big shifts in how we live, age, and connect. You’ll hear why purpose is essential not just for meaning, but for well-being and longevity, and how to begin reconnecting with it now, no matter your stage of life.

If you’re standing at a crossroads and craving clarity, this conversation is your invitation to start living on purpose.

Discover Upcoming Wisdom

Join the Radiant Rebellion & Reclaim Aging

August 26, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

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.

Thriving in Your Empty Nest Chapter

September 3, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

Join us for a candid exploration of one of parenting’s most profound shifts, when the daily work of raising your children transforms overnight.

Hosted by MEA’s Kari Cardinale, this dynamic panel features four parents from our MEA family navigating this transition in real time, offering unfiltered insights from their own empty nest journeys.

We’ll unpack why today’s empty nesting bears little resemblance to previous generations – it’s messy, non-linear, and reshapes everything from your identity to your marriage.

In this engaging conversation, we’ll explore:

  • Pivotal moments that signal this new chapter has begun
  • Mastering the revolving door of young adults who launch, land, and launch again
  • Reclaiming your sense of self when your central role suddenly shifts
  • Designing your reinvention rather than just surviving the change
  • Battle-tested strategies from parents who are walking this path

This is authentic wisdom from the front lines of a transition that touches millions, yet leaves most of us feeling completely alone.

How to Be a World-Class ‘Mentern’: Mastering the Skills of Mutual Mentorship

September 9, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

In this timely and energizing conversation, How to Live Forever author and CoGenerate founder Marc Freedman joins MEA’s Kari Cardinale to explore a bold new vision of aging—one where generations don’t just coexist, they collaborate.

Marc reveals how modern life has quietly siloed us by age and why breaking out of those bubbles can unlock deeper purpose, unexpected creativity, and a renewed sense of belonging.

At the heart of this shift is becoming a “mentern”—someone who can both mentor and learn at the same time. Marc and Kari will share why this skill matters now more than ever, and how mutual mentorship sparks growth, joy, and connection across generations.

Because your experience doesn’t just matter. It may be exactly what the world needs right now.
