The Power of Play in Reinventing Your Life | Kristine Michie & JD Schramm

The Power of Play in Reinventing Your Life | Kristine Michie & JD Schramm

Play isn't just for kids. It's one of the most powerful tools for navigating change, finding purpose, and becoming more fully yourself.


In this episode of Midlife Chrysalis, Chip Conley sits down with Kristine Michie founder of the Playful Podcast, and JD Schramm, communication expert and former Stanford professor, to explore how play, storytelling, and authenticity can transform the way we approach midlife.


What you'll discover:

  • Why losing a job can become the beginning of your next chapter.
  • How the need to impress others quietly shapes our identity.
  • Why your experience and wisdom are your greatest competitive advantage.
  • How play and human connection can be the antidote to an AI-driven world.
  • What it truly means to become the person you're meant to be.


If you're in the middle of a career transition, feeling the pressure to prove yourself, or wondering how to stay deeply human in an AI-driven world, this episode offers a refreshing roadmap for what comes next.
