• Why your genes don’t control your future
• The truth about biohacking and why most of it fails

What if you gave yourself 30 days… with nothing planned?

In this episode, Chip Conley shares a deeply personal idea he’s exploring: stepping away from a busy life for a full month: no schedule, no expectations, just space to listen, reflect, and reset.

It’s not about escaping life. It’s about returning to it with more clarity and intention.

Few ideas from the episode that might stay with you:

• What it actually means to “disappear” for 30 days
• Why hearing your own eulogy might hit harder than you expect
• The uncomfortable truth about always being on and reachable
• What happens when you remove all structure from your life
• Why slowing down feels almost impossible, even when you want it

It’s a bold, thought-provoking conversation about slowing down, letting go, and trusting what unfolds next.

Watch now and consider: when was the last time you gave yourself space like this?

In this powerful episode of the Midlife Chrysalis, Chip Conley sits down with two women who’ve pushed their limits, physically, emotionally, and psychologically, and came out transformed.

Meet Rebecca Rusch, a world-class endurance athlete who biked the Ho Chi Minh Trail to reconnect with her late father, and Jaimie Lusk, a former Marine turned psychologist helping veterans heal from deep psychological wounds. Together, they reveal what happens when life forces you to face what you’ve been avoiding.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• Why midlife isn’t a crisis, but a turning point you can’t ignore
• What “moral injury” is, and how it quietly shapes your behavior
• Why success and achievement often mask deeper pain
• How your body plays a key role in healing your mind
• Why nature can reset your nervous system

This isn’t just about midlife. It’s about what happens when everything you built no longer feels like you. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like something is missing… this one will hit.

Watch now.
