Event architect and dot-connector Karina Mackenzie (Eudēmonia; formerly Wanderlust) joins host Shenna Jean to unpack how you intentionally design a festival that actually changes people.
They trace Karina’s path from throwing American-Gladiator-style high school takeovers to programming global wellness experiences, then decode what “Eudēmonia” means (human flourishing) and how the team builds it on five pillars: movement, nutrition, mindfulness/mental fitness, sleep & restoration, and connection.
You’ll hear why IRL community beats algorithms, how to run trauma-smart, pitch-free Q&As with clear “energetic SOPs,” and why Eudēmonia invites hard conversations (and evidence) instead of echo chambers.
Karina pulls back the curtain on scaling vs. intimacy, sponsors vs. substance, and why Sunday integration matters, setting the stage for real transformation (and Shenna’s Future Self Sound Visualization session!). If you’ve been craving growth, new energy, or your next circle of soul-aligned humans, hit play & listen. This episode is a roadmap to finding your people through purpose-filled experiences.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
