Rounding out our encore presentations is this week's episode: What is the hardest thing you’ll ever do?  Can you imagine?    Perhaps you look back at your past and contemplate about all the hard things you’ve already done.  You might reflect on getting through hard things you didn’t think you could do.  Perhaps how you got through that experience might inform you about how you’d approach other hard things in your life.   You might think of relationship or career challenges, health or finance challenges.  You might think of challenges related to being a parent, a wife, husband, or finding the right person to spend your life with.    But for all the things that might occur to you as the hardest things you’ve ever done, you will likely not land on the actual hardest thing you can possibly do.  For it isn’t any of the above.   Join me as I explore the hardest thing for a human being to do, given our human nature.  Given that we have personalities, fears, likes, dislikes, preferences, opinions, and a need to feel in control, the hardest thing we’ll ever do does not involve lifting a finger.  It’s much deeper and harder than what it appears to be.    I will teach you a practice to support you engaging with your hardest thing. So, listen all the way to the end.     ******* JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY The doors are about to open to accept new members to our LEVEL UP in THE NEW BEYOND membership community.

 Listeners, this will crack your heart wide-open. Listen again as my guest and VA, Alicia Strunk, a New Hampshire native, now residing in Ireland, shares the most heart-breaking/heart-opening story you can imagine. During this past year, Alicia’s pregnancy was a common topic of our discussions.   We delighted in talking about the journey of pregnancy, motherhood, and all that it calls forth for a woman.   It was impossible not to share her excitement around the coming birth.    However, at 39 weeks into her pregnancy and expecting to give birth at any moment, Alicia she got the news that her first born was going to be a stillbirth.   To lose her baby at full term was not only an unexpected and shocking turn of events, it surfaced some very deep and existential questions that Alicia and her husband had to address.  What happened?  What went wrong?  Why did this happen?   In a shocking scenario from which it would seem impossible to find anything to be grateful for, Alicia dives deep to share the gifts came to light through this tragedy.    In her experience of processing this loss, Alicia found beauty in grieving and learned that pain does not have to lead to suffering.  She learned that her capacity to love was far deeper than she imagined.  She learned that it not only takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to mourn the loss of one, and that one can leave a legacy without even taking a breath.    While the subject is sensitive and involves grief and loss, I think you’ll be uplifted and inspired by the way Alicia, her husband Johnny, their families, and their community have been present to the fullness of this experience and how they’ve grown from it.     While this journey is, on the surface, about the end of something, it is also about the promise of a new beginning.  Tune in and learn what that new beginning might be.   **************************************************** What’s Up in The New Beyond?  JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY The doors are about to open to accept new members to our LEVEL UP in THE NEW BEYOND membership community.

 Lisa Kalmin is back for our encore presentation this week. Lisa and I have been colleagues in the business of transformation and leadership development for many decades. She is also a mindset coach, speaker, corporate trainer and at the age of 51 became the mother of twin boys!    For the past 35 years, Lisa has coached and trained over 25,000 people in the principles and techniques to transform their lives.   In this episode, Lisa and I take on the subject of the Bad Ass Woman (BAW).   Tune in and learn:  What exactly is a BAW?  What are her challenges?    How did this term go from being one that referred to men who were considered “tough” and even “bullies” like Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris, to a feminist rallying cry for empowered women like Oprah Winfrey, Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, and even you and me.   We discuss the influence of Pluto being in the sign of Aquarius for the next 20 years and the implications of the kinds of shifts that will occur.  This is a collective event that affects all of us.  Not just women, but humanity.    What are the “ground rules” for being a badass?  (You really want to hear them!) And how can a woman be grounded and centered in her Divine Feminine self, and also be a Badass?   How does she juggle the demands of today’s world, family and career responsibilities and still be true to herself?  And you really want to hear Lisa’s definition of a Badass Woman!  (Take notes!)    Are YOU a BAW?  If you think not, tune in.  You might just change your mind!    Lastly, one thing a BAW does, she asks for what she wants and is willing to receive it.    On that note, this BAW would like nothing more than for you to share this episode with other BAW and even write a review or give us some stars (5 please!).  There!  I said it!  And thank you!  Connect with Lisa: Email:  lisa@worldworkstrainings.com Book link:  https://tinyurl.com/SeeTheProblem https://www.facebook.com/lisa.kalmin/ https://www.instagram.com/lisakalmin/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-kalmin/ Website:  https://lisakalmin.com ***************   JOIN THE LEVEL UP MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY I’m excited to announce a wonderful new opportunity to be in community with people like yourself.

In this episode we explore the fascinating paradox of instability. While stability is often considered a fundamental aspect of a well-lived life, we’re going to look at how instability can actually foster creativity, innovation, and adaptability. Through personal reflections and scientific insights, I’ll share some fresh perspective on navigating uncertain times with curiosity and possibility. We’ll discuss: The significance of stability in personal and collective contexts. How instability can act as a catalyst for innovation and adaptability. Practical strategies to manage and embrace instability in daily life. The concept of "sacred silence" as a tool for inner stability and reflection. Insights from scientific research on the benefits of instability at the cellular level. Join the Conversation: It’s time to rethink your relationship with instability and discover how it can be a source of growth and possibility.  Click the link below to download my FREE meditation on Entering the Chamber of Sacred Silence- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zzssl_m3Jwemffun-haL8ch51zjE3d8k/view?usp=sharing I created it especially for this episode to support you getting to your “sweet” spot of silence.   *********   JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY The doors are about to open to accept new members to our LEVEL UP in THE NEW BEYOND membership community.

This episode is a story about a community that is part fiction, part vision and part emerging reality. It's about a tranquil town called New Beyond, whose residents all share a common vision and intention: that is to discover, develop and express their daimon, or what the Romans called genius. It's a story about what's possible when human beings come together in community to elevate themselves and each other to their level of genius and mastery. And in truth, it's a story about a membership community I've already created called Leveling Up in The New Beyond. It's also an invitation to you, dear listener, to join us and become a member of this vibrant community. In April, I launched a membership community, called Level Up in the New Beyond. We have our first generation of members, The Founders, on board and we are on an exciting journey together as community.  We are going BEYOND the traditional transformational and leadership work, into the realm of mastery and genius.  We are just getting started and it's not too late to join.

Here's what one of our members writes: Being in a community of like-minded folks whose common intention is pointed towards stretching their personal development is great. Having that community led by Dr. Judith Rich? Now THAT is Leveling up.  I've had the privilege of working with Judith in various Leadership programs over the last several years and the focused and intentional experience in Leveling up in the New Beyond is just that, leveling up. It's just the right balance of group sessions, community content and the opportunity to engage - at a group level, in smaller power teams and of course with Judith herself.   Can't wait to see where my next level leads me!  Cathy Brooks, community member I hope you'll consider joining us!

In this thought-provoking episode of The New Beyond, we delve into the fascinating concept of time and its impact on our perception of reality. Despite knowing that time is a human construct with no past or future—only the present moment—time still feels incredibly real to us. We have divided time into segments: the past, which holds lessons and memories, and the future, a realm of endless possibilities. This week, we turn our focus towards the future and explore its various versions: the predictable future, the unpredictable future, and the impossible future. What You'll Learn: The Nature of Time: Understand how the human mind perceives time and its divisions. The Predictable Future: Discover how our past experiences shape our expectations of what is to come. The Unpredictable Future: Embrace the uncertainty and potential surprises that life may bring. The Impossible Future: Dive into the concept of the impossible future, a space for your most ambitious and seemingly unattainable dreams. Key Discussion Points: The Impossible Future: Often considered out of reach from our current standpoint, this future holds the dreams that seem too big or too far-fetched. However, these dreams represent the essence of our unlived lives and untapped potential. Making the Impossible Possible: Learn how to ignite your imagination and inspiration to transform your impossible dreams into possible and eventually inevitable realities. Practical Steps: Gain insights and actionable steps to start leaning into your dreams and making them a tangible part of your future. Join the Conversation: This episode is an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. We'll explore how to bridge the gap between your current reality and the life of your dreams. Bring your impossible dreams with you—there might be some homework involved! Tune In: Don't miss this opportunity to expand your horizons and redefine what's possible for your future. Tune in to The New Beyond and take the first step towards making your impossible dreams come true. Call to Action: Care to join in the conversation?

Meet Andrea Ivanka, A powerhouse coach to helps ambitious entrepreneurs scale their businesses and amplify their impact.

(Andrea is of Ukrainian ancestry) We discuss the differences between introversion, shyness, and social anxiety. Andrea shares about her program, Rapid Core Transformation, which produces very fast results in letting go of old patterns. What conventional thinking might consider weaknesses, Andrea has turned into strengths. Tune in as we do a deep dive into this fascinating topic. See if you hear yourself in her words.

Did you ever feel like you didn't fit in? Like you didn't belong? I grew up feeling that way...... in my own family! I always wondered who were these people and why was I with them? And this was my own family. At least on paper. But it never felt that way in real life. This episode is very personal to me. It's my own story of searching for my people and where I belonged. And what I learned about belonging after years and years of doing transformational work. And it's about why I am committed to creating communities that nurture people finding themselves and creating their own belonging, I've recently created a membership community called: Leveling Up in The New Beyond. We've completed our Founding Members launch and the doors are currently closed to new members, but when they open again for people to join as General Members, I hope you will consider joining us.
