In this episode of The New Beyond, I sit down with Eric Antonette, a certified anger management specialist, relationship coach, yoga teacher, Reiki master, and regression therapist.He is trained to handle court-mandated anger management cases and is passionate about helping couples release old behavioral patterns and build relationships rooted in love, respect, and connection. Eric blends his expertise in yoga, energy healing, and regression therapy to offer a truly holistic approach to personal transformation. Together, we dive into the topic of Mastering Emotions in Relationships—exploring how we can build healthier, more conscious connections through emotional awareness, personal responsibility, and deep inner work.Eric shares his personal journey from a childhood marked by family conflict to becoming a powerful guide for others navigating anger, trauma, and relationship challenges. He opens up about how his own healing paved the way for his life’s work and the wisdom he offers to clients today.Key Topics Discussed:How unprocessed childhood experiences shape adult relationships.The importance of allowing and processing emotions rather than suppressing or controlling them.Tools for regulating the nervous system to move from reactivity to conscious response.Why anger is often misunderstood as a "bad" emotion and how it can be a powerful guide when addressed constructively.The “Four Horsemen” of relationship breakdown (criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt) as identified by John Gottman, and how to counteract them.The power of accountability, forgiveness, and making amends in healing relationship dynamics.Notable Quotes:“The thing we think we’re upset about is never the real thing. Our emotions are guides that point us toward the deeper work we need to do.” – Eric Antonette“Anger is neutral. It’s our response to it that determines whether it becomes constructive or destructive.” – Eric Antonette“The only way out is through. We must allow ourselves to feel and process emotions to master them.” – Eric Antonette“When we are responsible for our emotions, we stop blaming others and step into our true power to create something beautiful in our lives.” – Eric AntonetteConnect with Eric:Website: Transform DeeplyLinkedIn: Eric AntonetteEpisode Resources:Journey of Souls by Michael Newton – A foundational book on regression therapy and the soul’s journey.Learn more about John Gottman’s “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” for relationships at The Gottman Institute.Join Us in the New Beyond: If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe to The New Beyond and leave a review.

 In this compelling episode of The New Beyond, I sit down with Radha Metro-Midkiff, Executive Director of the Integral Yoga Institute of New York, to explore a fascinating and transformative topic: the intersection of yoga and leadership. Radha shares her incredible journey—from being raised in an ashram to navigating the high-stakes world of Wall Street, and eventually returning to her roots to lead one of the most renowned yoga institutions in the country.What You’ll Learn: The life lessons Radha learned growing up in a yogic family and attending a unique yoga school. How Radha’s early experiences shaped her approach to leadership and resilience. The challenges and triumphs she faced working in corporate America post-9/11 and how she found her way back to yoga. How yoga principles like mindfulness, discipline, and self-awareness serve as a foundation for effective leadership. Radha’s perspective on balancing paradoxes—embracing both softness and strength, detachment and commitment, self-care and service. How yoga and leadership align to create a holistic approach to personal and professional growth.Highlights of the Episode: Radha’s reflections on her unique upbringing in an ashram and the profound sense of grace and belonging she felt. Her challenges in adapting to the "real world" after growing up in such a nurturing, yet insulated, environment. The powerful role leadership training played in helping her confront and process her trauma from 9/11. How she uses leadership principles to inspire others and reframe yoga as a lifestyle and mindset, not just a physical practice. A moving discussion on the healing power of facing one’s fears and trauma, and how the only way out is through.Quotes to Remember: "You can either have fear, or you can have faith. There is no in-between." "The only way out is through." "Yoga isn’t just what we do on the mat; it’s how we live our lives, how we lead, and how we show up for ourselves and others."Join the Conversation: Let’s take this conversation deeper!

It’s Aquarius season again here in The New Beyond and for me, that means I’ve completed another trip around the sun.  As a double Aquarian, (sun & rising signs), I am about to celebrate my 83rd birthday.  And I am also celebrating the 3rd anniversary of this podcast.   So, this week’s episode is a bit self-indulgent, if you will allow, as I reflect on being in my 80’s as an Aquarian being, which is anything but ordinary, especially now, in 2025, with the overwhelming amount of change, disruption and chaos we are currently experiencing all over the world.   We are living in extraordinary times, and I think it takes great courage to be a human being on the planet right now.  As an 83 year-old, I am so far from the typical profile of someone my age.  And yet, I know that it is just a number.  What really matters is how we make the years count while we’re here.  I’ll share about that in this episode.  In this episode, I drop a bit of astrology on you.  I am not an astrologer, but Aquarius is the sign of astrology, so I have a keen interest.   I discuss some background on what is happening now astrologically, that impacts every one of us, not just Aquarians.  We are entering a 20-year cycle of gigantic upheaval, leading to a major shift in paradigms.   We are now firmly into the Aquarian Age, which I equate to The New Beyond.  When I received the name of this podcast three years ago, I did not consciously connect the dots between these two.  But it’s now clear to me, this is what it is.  The New Beyond IS the Age of Aquarius and it is fitting and proper that this podcast represents that consciousness.  If you’ll further indulge me, at the end of this week’s episode, I share a piece of my writing about why I came to the planet.  I hope you can hear yourself in there and find something in it that resonates for you.   Thank you for coming along on this journey with me for the past three years.  I ask for one more indulgence: the BEST birthday gift you could give me…….. please leave a review on Apple if you find this podcast worth listening to.  It makes a difference, it really does!   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Available for purchase on my website: Judith’s best selling book- Beyond the Box:  Lean Out, Break Free, Rise Up!   Musings and Meditations Legacy Audio Series- 9 meditations based on my writing, set to music Get your FREE copy of my Seasons of A Life video *********** Use the link below to leave a message, respond to a question or to give us feedback on the podcast:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenewbeyond/message Judith’s email:  judith@judithrich.com  Facebook Group: Living in The New Beyond                                               ********** Please take a moment and share this podcast with others, leave a review and follow us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast platforms.  It does make a difference and I really appreciate your support!

In this inspiring and insightful episode, I welcome back transformational coach and leadership expert Lisa Kalmin as we dive deep into what it takes to set powerful, meaningful goals for the New Year. But this isn’t about the tired tradition of New Year’s resolutions that fade after two weeks. It’s about something much bigger: the power of declaration, leaning into discomfort, and creating breakthroughs that transform not only what we accomplish but who we become in the process. Lisa and I unpack: Why New Year’s resolutions fail and what makes goals so much more powerful. The critical difference between goals inside your comfort zone and stretch goals that require courage and faith. The power of declaration — what happens when you say your goals out loud and enroll others in holding you accountable. How to declare without evidence — stepping into possibility, even when the roadmap is unclear. The physiology of fear and how to transform fear into curiosity and growth. Why leaning into discomfort is the birthplace of breakthroughs. How our relationship with control keeps us stuck and what it takes to let go and trust. We discuss the role of curiosity as a superpower for staying engaged, vibrant, and open to life’s infinite possibilities. Whether it’s pursuing a bold professional goal, having a hard conversation, or saying yes to the unknown, the message is clear: The only way out is through. If you’re ready to make 2025 a year unlike any other, this episode will inspire you to: Step into the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Befriend fear and take action anyway. Declare a goal that stretches you and enroll others to help you achieve it. Remember that every small step forward moves the ball down the field. This is not just about achieving goals — it’s about who you become on the journey. As Lisa says, no one listening to this podcast wants 2025 to look exactly like 2024.

This is my final episode for the year so I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and leave you with a gift.   This week’s podcast episode is a meditation I created to invite you to look back upon this year, consider its challenges and gifts and be grateful for it all.  Regardless of the content of your experiences.   It has all been for your growth, for your learning, even the parts you didn’t like or didn’t want.  Even the parts that caused you pain.  See if you can hold them as gifts, and in time, you will receive the lessons they brought you.   It’s also an invitation to look ahead and consider all the new possibilities that await you in the new year, set your intentions, goals and dreams for who you want to be, what you want to do and what you want to create.   Thank you for being part of my journey this past year, here in The New Beyond.  I look forward to seeing where the new year takes us.   May you be abundantly blessed, ***** Available for purchase on my website: My best-selling book- Beyond the Box  ⁠Musings and Meditations Legacy Audio Series⁠ I and II- 18 meditations based on my writing, set to music  Get your FREE copy of my ⁠Seasons of A Life⁠ video  Connect with me:  Email:  judith@judithrich.com  Join my private Facebook Group: ⁠Living in The New Beyond⁠  Thanks to Ken Ashby, and Gopal Metro for our original theme music “Each of Us”  Connect with Ken at:  ⁠www.prosodycreativeservices.com⁠ Gopal’s email: ⁠gopal.metro@gmail.com⁠  Please share this podcast with others, leave a review and follow us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast platforms.  It does make a difference and I really appreciate your support!        

This week's episode is a selection from my Musings & Meditations Audio Series 2: Give Yourself Grace. After just recovering from my first bout with Covid barely in time to board the flight to my dream bucket list trip to Barcelona, Spain, coming home in time for Thanksgiving and now almost recovered from jet lag and the lingering effects of Covid fatigue, I needed to give myself a lot of grace. I am someone who is normally wired to go full speed at least 85% of the time. And yes, for an 82 year old, that is a bit unusual. But I've always been that way. Up until now. And now, I'm learning the lessons of slowing down and savoring life at a different speed. So this meditation hits me at just the right moment and I hope it does that for you too. It's part of a series of original meditations I've created especially for this season. Each one is designed to support you to come home to yourself, connect with what matters most, and savor the sweet stillness and silence within. As we move in this busy time of year, may you remember to take good care of you, the one who will take you through this lifetime and into your own New Beyond. Wishing you many blessings this holiday season! ********** Available for purchase on my website: My best-selling book- Beyond the Box  ⁠Musings and Meditations Legacy Audio Series⁠ I and II- 18 meditations based on my writing, set to music  Get your FREE copy of my ⁠Seasons of A Life⁠ video  Connect with me:  Email:  judith@judithrich.com  Join my private Facebook Group: ⁠Living in The New Beyond⁠  Thanks to Ken Ashby, and Gopal Metro for our original theme music “Each of Us”  Connect with Ken at:  ⁠www.prosodycreativeservices.com⁠ Gopal’s email: ⁠gopal.metro@gmail.com⁠  Please share this podcast with others, leave a review and follow us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast platforms.  It does make a difference and I really appreciate your support!
