Have you ever reached a point in life where what once worked… suddenly doesn’t?
In this warm conversation with Chip, Ben Katt, MEA’s faculty in residence and author of The Way Home, offers a hopeful reframe of midlife. Rather than seeing it as a breakdown, Ben invites us to see this season as a meaningful transition, one that asks us to let go of old roles and reconnect with who we truly are.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why midlife often feels disorienting, even when life looks “successful” on the outside
- How releasing familiar identities creates space for deeper purpose and wholeness
- Why stillness, reflection, and meditation are essential during times of change
- How community and support help us move through transitions with more easy
If you’re feeling restless, uncertain, or quietly asking “What’s next?”, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a sense of direction.
👉 Watch now and explore what this chapter of your life is gently calling you toward.
