The M Factor Film Discussion and Q&A

You’ve built a career with substance: experience, income, a title, and people who rely on you. Now you’re asking a different question: Does this work still fit the life I want to live?

Perhaps a layoff has forced the issue. Perhaps you’re successful on paper and increasingly clear that you want something else. Join Carolina Lasso and host Kari Cardinale on August 27 for a live conversation about navigating a career transition with honesty, financial awareness, and a practical sense of direction.

In this live conversation, we’ll explore:

• The real reason career transitions feel so hard in midlife and why it has nothing to do with your resume or your readiness
• How to distinguish between fear-driven decisions and choices that are genuinely aligned with who you are at this stage of life
• Where to start when you have no idea what comes next and the small, concrete steps you can take to begin moving forward
• A live introduction to a practical tool to help you identify what is at the intersection of your strengths and fulfillment zones

If you’re ready to give this question more time and attention, join Carolina in Santa Fe, October 8–11, for Career Transitions: Your Clear Path Forward. Over four days, you’ll examine your options and create a Career Blueprint for the conversations, experiments, and opportunities you want to pursue.

Join us for the August 27 live event and enroll in the Santa Fe workshop by August 30 to receive a complimentary 1:1 virtual career coaching session with Carolina before the workshop begins.

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?

Stress changes how we move through the day. It can shorten the breath, disrupt sleep, tighten the body, and turn ordinary decisions into exhausting loops of second-guessing.

Join Kari Cardinale in conversation with breathwork pioneer Anthony Abbagnano and naturopathic doctor and somatic practitioner Amy Rachelle. They’ll explore how the breath can help regulate the nervous system, release held tension, and create more room for clear thinking and grounded action.

Anthony and Amy will share the foundations of their work, the practices participants will explore during their Santa Fe intensive, and how breathwork can support us through periods of pressure, change, and uncertainty.

Bring your questions about breathwork, stress, embodiment, and rebuilding trust in your own decisions.
