New Beyond: A Tale of Possibility
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.

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!

I hope you'll consider joining us!

Unlock the Power of Your Impossible Future
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? Subscribe to The New Beyond on your favorite podcast platform, and don't forget to leave a review. Your feedback helps us bring you more insightful and inspiring content.

The Importance of Belonging
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. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here's what's currently available in The New Beyond:

Democracy is an Inside Job- Peggy O'Neal
Democracy is under threat all over the world today.
Here in the United States, we are keenly aware of the dangers of losing our system of government with our democratic system on the line in the upcoming elections.
This issue transcends politics. It’s not about right or left, conservative or liberal. It’s about preserving the very foundation upon which our country was founded.
This is why I’ve invited my guest this week, Peggy O’Neal, to join me as we have a conversation about what’s at stake and what we need to do as citizens to become active participants, in the process, not just bystanders.
Peggy has been coaching leaders in multi-national organizations throughout the world for more than 30 years.
She is a Certified Integral Master Coach and the author of two chapters in the Handbook of Personal and Organizational Transformation, the first book on cutting-edge theory and practice on small- and large-scale transformation.
Prior to becoming a transformational leadership coach, Peggy practiced law for 12 years. She earned her J.D. from the Univ. of Arkansas, where she served as an Assistant Attorney General and served in President Clinton’s administration in the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
In 2023, Peggy established Unite for Democracy, a grass-roots nonpartisan nonprofit mass involvement initiative dedicated to inviting all citizens to participate in the reshaping of democracy for a bright America.
Its purpose is to ensure that the United States of America remains a democracy and does not fall into a dictatorship.
Its-of-a-kind educational events are designed to be welcoming and uplifting, helping everyday Americans find their voices and ways of participation that align with their perspectives, passions, and schedules.
Through inclusive “neighborhood” gatherings, both online and in-person, Unite for Democracy facilitates discussions among millions, encouraging dialogue not merely about what’s not working, but about the nation we long for, and know in our hearts is possible.
Join us as we discuss the importance of each of us as citizens becoming actively engaged in the democratic process if we want to preserve our system of government.
By supporting individuals to actualize their democratic ideals, UFD aims to instill democracy as an energizing way of life.
Democracy is indeed, an inside job!

Who is Gen T?
This episode was inspired by a podcast interview between Brene Brown and her guest, Amy Web, on the Unlocking Us podcast in which they discuss the impact of the accelerating pace of change and transformation taking place in the world today.
They refer to us as Gen T- which is everyone living on the planet during this time of rapid change, a time which cannot be defined by a the number of years, as this change is continuous, ongoing, and no one knows where or how it will resolve itself.
This idea inspired me to do this episode, in which I explore the potential of being a part of Gen T, (I'll explain more specifically what the "T" stands for in the episode).
As Gen T, we are the ones here, navigating the gap between what used to be, and no longer is, and what is becoming, but isn't yet.
Feeling overwhelmed? No wonder!
We are the ones being faced with massive amounts of change that our nervous systems were not designed to manage.
We'll unpack the tasks before us now, what kinds of skill sets and behaviors we must adapt to, and adopt, in order to successfully thrive in this time.
Ironically, whatever it is that we are moving towards, I call that The New Beyond. It's what this podcast, and my book, Beyond the Box are about.
Who do we need to become as everything we ever thought we knew or relied upon is slowly (or rapidly) being dismantled?
Tune in, as take on the conversation and tackle the journey together.

When the Worst Thing Becomes the Best Thing- Rhema Flowers
Have you ever experienced the worst thing that ever happened in your life turning out to be the best thing and a blessing?
My guest this week, Rhema Flowers, has authored a chapter in the book, The Turnaround: How the Worst Thing Became the Best Thing.
In this episode, she shares the three main takeaways she learned while going through a very difficult time in her life with the loss of her beloved older sister and how that experience inspired her to create and live the life of her dreams.
Rhema is a vibrant, multi-passionate entrepreneur living her dream life on the island of Maui, where she runs a Wellness Center, teaches yoga, and hosts luxury retreats. But her life didn’t always look or feel like a dream life.
Prior to moving to Maui, Rhema worked in the corporate world as a marketing director and, like many people who work in the corporate world, she experienced stress and burn-out and felt there was something more she needed to do with her life.
Around this time, Rhema discovered yoga, and has never looked back. She became a yoga instructor and a partner in a yoga studio in Los Angeles. She went to visit Maui at the beginning of the pandemic, with no thought of staying. But the magic of Maui grabbed her soul and shortly thereafter, she made Maui her home.
Rhema is passionate about her vision and mission to inspire, empower and enroll women into their own vision of a healthy, vibrant, energetic lifestyle. She believes that the healing of the planet will be greatly influenced and made possible through the efforts of women and her calling is to help women build a healthy foundation for living the lives they want.
To that end, Rhema offers goddess-oriented wellness retreats on Maui where women can come to unwind, reset and balance their bodies, minds and spirits. Her next retreat offering is in May. Look for a link in the show notes for more information about attending.
Join us as Rhema shares about how Maui is recovering from the recent fires and devastation and the importance of helping to sustain and bring the “Aloha” energy of the island in our everyday lives.
