The Power of Media: Transforming Women’s Lives

What if resilience isn’t about gritting your teeth, powering through, or becoming tougher than the next hard thing?

Seven-time world champion endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch and clinical psychologist, Marine Corps veteran, and fellow athlete Dr. Jaimie Lusk have both learned – through loss, injury, recovery, service, and time far beyond their comfort zones – that the body often knows something the mind hasn’t yet caught up with.

In this live conversation with host Derek Gehl, they’ll explore what happens when we stop treating our limits as failures. They’ll talk about fear versus danger, the stories we bring to challenge, the surprising intelligence of movement, and how time outdoors can help us find a steadier way forward.

Join them for an honest, wide-ranging conversation—and a first look at their May workshop, Wild Resilience, at Rising Circle Ranch in Santa Fe.

Legacy isn’t simply something we leave behind. It’s something we create every day through how we lead and love, how we respond under pressure, the relationships we cultivate, the choices we make, and ultimately, how people experience us.

Join Paragon Performance Evolution co-founders Jeff Benton and Brett Weinroth for a candid conversation about what changes when we stop treating legacy as a distant outcome and begin paying closer attention to how we’re living right now.

Over the past decade, Jeff and Brett have worked with some of the world’s highest performers – from entrepreneurs and family enterprises to corporate leaders, professional athletes, Special Forces, global first ladies, and astronauts. Across remarkably different lives, they’ve seen a common question emerge:

What might change if we brought the same intention to how we live that we’ve brought to everything we’ve built?

Together, they’ll explore what it means to become more present in our lives, why we can know what matters most and still struggle to live in alignment with it, and how the ordinary choices we make in our relationships, leadership, and moments of pressure shape who we are becoming.

Take the Next Step: The 6-Month Journey

This session serves as an introduction to Living Your Legacy, an exclusive six-month MEA experience beginning in January 2027. Through two in-person retreats at Rising Circle Ranch, private 1:1 coaching, and monthly cohort gatherings, you will find the space and community to design your next chapter with profound intention.

Check out the 6-month Living Your Legacy journey with Jeff and Brett.

You know you need change. You might even know what you want. Yet you’re still stuck standing still. Reflection, direction, and intention are good starts, but insight without action is just a nicer kind of stuck.

To create real momentum, you need an action brief: a sharp, sticky, singular declaration that makes action irresistible. Join author and strategist Bonnie Wan alongside host Mary Hofstedt for a live conversation on how to move from reflection to declaration.

Bonnie will share her methodology for getting messy, refining your true desires, reframing limiting beliefs, and translating clarity into daily action. She will also give a preview of her upcoming four-day MEA workshop, The Action Brief: Your Time Is Now, taking place January 31–February 4 in Santa Fe.

Has what you have to say kept pace with who you’ve become? The talk that built your reputation may no longer light you up. The message that once fit may not be the one trying to come through you now.

And then there are the tired speaking techniques that can feel phony and contrived – and bore even you. Much of what we learn to become better speakers can shut down the spontaneity and aliveness that make people want to listen. And in an age of AI? Words that sound good but aren’t embodied just don’t land. Audiences want a real person to show up.

Join Gail Larsen and MEA CEO Derek Gehl for a lively exploration of what happens when you get out of the jet lag of your own life, stop performing, get real, and bring more of who you are to every stage, screen, microphone, meeting, and conversation that matters. Derek calls Transformational Speaking “the speaking training I didn’t know I needed.”

They’ll explore Original Medicine, the gifts that are yours to bring and nowhere else duplicated; HomeZone™, where the ease and aliveness of your best conversations come with you onto the stage; what it means to be an evolutionary with a new story to tell; and how to dump the script with an easy method of presentation development that supports both structure and spontaneity.

All five of Gail’s MEA programs in 2026 sold out. Some of those who experienced the work will share what changed for them – and you’ll get a first look at what’s coming in 2027.

Let your life speak. And whatever you do, don’t bore the Mystery!

Sage Robbins is a speaker, guide, and author who’s shared global stages alongside her husband, Tony Robbins, for more than 25 years. Along the way, she’s been brought to her knees by life more than once, and she’s found her way back to herself each time. She calls what she learned A Kinder Way to lead, to love, and to be.

MEA’s Chip Conley and Kari Cardinale join Sage for an unscripted conversation about what that looks like. They’ll talk about:

• Lasting Love: Treating love as something you practice and relationships as mirrors

• Conscious Leadership: Going first, choosing inner alignment, and taking 100% responsibility

• When Roles Reverse: Caring for an aging parent and navigating the grief that comes with it

• The Seasons of Life: Choosing acceptance over resistance to navigate change without losing yourself

• Finding New Purpose: Beginning again and stepping into a new calling, whatever chapter you’re in
