Second Acts: Why Midlife is the Perfect Time to Become an Entrepreneur

In this deeply moving live chat, trauma therapist and grief educator Meghan Jarvis joins MEA’s Mary Hofstedt to explore how we can navigate life’s most disorienting losses – not by “getting over” them, but by learning to carry them with greater steadiness and self-trust.

Meghan will share with us why traditional talk therapy often falls short when it comes to grief, and how her groundbreaking method helps people process loss through the wisdom of the body. She’ll share why grief deserves daily care, how to calm a nervous system thrown off course by loss, and practical tools for moving forward when everything feels raw and uncertain.

Whether you (or someone you love) are grieving a loved one, relationship, role, or sense of identity, Meghan offers a compassionate roadmap for finding your footing again – one grounded step at a time.

Join us for an intimate talk with wellness pioneers Jeff Krasno and Schuyler Grant, the duo behind Wanderlust festivals and Commune, an online learning platform offering courses and conversations with leading voices in health, personal growth, and social impact, as we explore evidence-based approaches to metabolic health, movement, and vitality in midlife and beyond.

Hosted by MEA’s Derek Gehl, this live conversation offers a unique opportunity to learn from this power couple whose practical methods have helped thousands reclaim their energy and transform their relationship with aging.

You’ll learn practical, science-backed ways to build sustainable wellness habits, boost resilience with thermal therapy and breathwork, improve sleep and energy, and create movement that fuels rather than drains you.

This is your opportunity to create a wellness blueprint that grows with you over time

Courage strategist and bestselling author Margie Warrell, together with host Kari Cardinale, will tell us why fear doesn’t always look like fear – sometimes it shows up as perfectionism, over-preparing, or the exhausting performance of constantly having it all together. 

She’ll share insights on closing the gap between who you are and who you have it within you to become, and why the playbook that got you here won’t get you where your soul longs to go. If you sense there’s a bolder version of yourself waiting to emerge, this conversation offers the clarity and tools to answer your call to courage.
