How Ritual, Awe, and Community Bring Midlife Back to Life | Christine Sperber

In this episode, Chip Conley sits down with Christine Sperber, co-founder of MEA and master experience designer, to explore how awe, ritual, and community can bring us back to life in midlife. Drawing from ski town culture, life in Baja, and years of building transformational experiences, Christine offers a hopeful reframe of aging as something to design, not fix.

In this conversation, Chip and Christine explore:

  • Why purpose matters more than productivity in midlife
  • How simple rituals create meaning, resilience, and belonging
  • What nature, movement, and community teach us about vitality
  • Why transitions like perimenopause and loss call for compassion, not hustle

If midlife feels like a pause, a question mark, or an invitation to something more, this episode will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and hopeful.

Listen now and rediscover what it means to feel fully alive in midlife.
