Welcome to The New Beyond, A Podcast With Dr. Judith Rich, where you will learn how to Live Beyond the Box, where comfort zones are history, and we’re tasked with navigating this brave new world.
Join me as we begin an adventure in going beyond where you think you can go. Let’s start the journey!
Human beings are masterful story tellers and meaning making machines. We are that we make meaning and we do it instantaneously and for the most part unconsciously. Then we live inside our stories, thinking they are truth and fact, when, in reality we made them up. Life happens and we make up what it means.
My guest this week is Shelli Jost Brady, a graduate of Virginia Tech, who holds multiple advanced degrees and certifications in design, architecture, business, leadership trauma and peace education.
This week’s episode takes on a rather tricky topic- when it comes to sharing, how much is too much? And how can you know the difference between being open, vulnerable and transparent and engaging in self indulgent oversharing?
How do you build bridges? That’s the question my guest this week asks each person who participates in her Building Bridges project.
From the time she was in 5th grade, Ebethal Badawi, born in Saudi Arabia, knew that she wanted to be an artist. But she was told that art could only be a hobby, not a real career path, so she decided to study science, a much more acceptable choice according to her parents.
How do we be with the parts of ourselves we find least loveable?
You know which qualities I’m talking about. They’re the ones that seem to rear their ugly heads when you least expect it and they sabotage your relationships with others and most of all, with yourself.
My guests this week are Ken Ashby and Maris Segal, a married couple, who coach and consult with executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and rising leaders to bring their professional, personal, and philanthropic vision to life and build peak performing teams.
There is just so much conflict taking place all over the planet, we are living in a time in human history of tremendous disruption. Human beings are facing this not only in the collective but also on a personal level every day.vThe question arises: In the face of all the disruption and turmoil in the world and in our personal lives, how do we keep going?
My guest this week is Andrea Ivanka, a second generation Canadian of Ukrainian ancestry, who was one of my first guests on the podcast in Season 1, Episode 6. Andrea is back this week to discuss how we best navigate breakdowns in our most important relationships, having just gone through a breakdown with her partner of 12 years.
Sooner or later, you knew this was coming. It’s time to have a conversation about learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable. And why not? After all, it’s the basis of everything we talk about here on this podcast. Growth, adventure, learning, creativity, passion, aliveness….. it all begins at the end of your comfort zone. Not much going on there in the C.Z. (comfort zone) that you don’t already know, haven’t already done a million time
Kari Cardinale is my guest on the podcast this week. She is the Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy at Modern Elder Academy (MEA). Kari and I met in graduate school when she was in her mid 20’s and I was in my late 40’s. Today she is in her mid-50’s and I am in my early 80’s, thus our topic for the podcast this week:
Emerging Elder: Embodied Elder
Have you ever wondered if you’ve stayed with something too long, but just couldn’t bring yourself to quit? Have you ever felt like you had to keep going, even though you long ago lost interest, or became exhausted, or your health was in jeopardy? But you kept going anyway? This week we’re taking on the subject of grit, brought forward into public awareness by American psychologist, Angela Duckworth and her research on the topic.

Love it or hate it, it’s here and it’s going to change your life in ways you cannot imagine. What’s that, you ask? I’m talking about Artificial Intelligence and more specifically, ChatGPT, a revolutionary tool that may at first scare you, but once you know how to use it, you’ll wonder how you lived without it.

Here’s an “outside the box” question for you: What if you want, wants you back?
OK, I know that sounds a bit crazy, but in this weeks’ podcast episode, you get to put on your “outside the box” thinking cap and consider that question.
My guest on the podcast this week is Dr. Wendi McKenna, Founder of Move Play Grow, a program that empowers parents to develop deep connections and build solid foundations from the start.

Join us for a special online event celebrating the 1 Year Anniversary of The New Beyond: A Celebration of Community, Collaboration and Consciousness.
On February 9th at 6 pm PST, Dr. Judith Rich and special guests Michael Strasner, Lisa Kalmin, and Lynne Sheridan will be participating in a roundtable discussion about the importance of community, collaboration, and consciousness.
How are you doing in these times of so much change and uncertainty?
If you’re like most people, you’re probably quite uncomfortable with too much uncertainty. Why? Because humans are wired for certainty and abhor uncertainty.
We want life to be predictable and we want to be prepared for what is coming. We want answers and we want them now. This is not a bad thing. It’s perfectly normal.
As we start a new year, let’s talk about beginnings. But beginnings are not the whole story since a beginning is often preceded by an ending. Both beginnings and endings can be challenging, so let’s take them both on.
Have you ever worked hard to achieve your goals or get to where you thought you wanted to be and then having gotten there you felt burned out and knew you couldn’t sustain this level of performance?
And maybe you kept going anyway because you needed to prove that you were capable and not a quitter.
That’s how my guest, Alex Lianne Carter, felt as she reached what she thought was the peak of her career as the Director of Technology and Innovation for an independent school system.
