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.

From Autopilot to Fully Alive: Zen Tools for Presence and Purpose
August 20, 2026 9:00 AM PT 12:00 PM ET
You scroll when you mean to rest, half-listen to loved ones, and reach the end of the day wondering how it flew by. As a Zen priest, teacher, and executive coach, Dan Zigmond brings Zen mindfulness into the places we need it most: demanding work, family life, busy calendars, and the beautiful mess of being human.
Join the Zen teacher and executive coach for a live conversation about staying awake, steady, and connected to your purpose in a world that pulls your attention in a hundred directions.
Dan will share practical ways to step out of autopilot, relate differently to distraction, and create more space between what happens and how you respond. Fresh perspective, simple practices you can use, and the chance to bring your questions to Dan.
Go deeper with Dan in Santa Fe this October

Career Transitions: Your Clear Path Forward
August 27, 2026 9:00 AM PT 12:00 PM ET
You followed the path to a good life: school, promotions, benefits, a title. Then something shifts. Maybe your company chooses it for you. Maybe you’re still employed but thinking, “I can’t do this for another five years.”
Carolina Lasso followed “all the shoulds.” An immigrant from Colombia, she became valedictorian, won scholarships, worked on Wall Street, and made an impact at Google – until depression, panic attacks, and imposter syndrome made it impossible to ignore her own inner voice.
Join Carolina and host Kari Cardinale for a live conversation about making career moves that are financially grounded, personally meaningful, and wise. Bring your questions for the Q&A.
Golden Girls: Inside Modern Co-Living
September 1, 2026 3:00 PM PT 06:00 PM ET
What if the way we live as we get older offered more choices than living alone or moving into a retirement community?
Join MEA co-founder Chip Conley for an honest conversation with three women who recently experienced life in one of MEA’s Golden Girls–style shared homes in Santa Fe.
They’ll share what it was really like to explore a different approach to midlife and later-life living: having your own space while living alongside a community of peers. Hear firsthand about the unexpected joys, practical realities, shared meals, friendships, privacy, and everyday connection that can emerge when women choose to live independently – together.
Chip and his guests will explore questions like:
-
Could co-living be right for me?
-
What does it feel like to share a home as an adult?
-
How do you balance autonomy, privacy, and connection?
