S3 E21: From Burnout to BOLDness -A Conversation with Alex Lianne 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, felt as she reached what she thought was the peak of her career.  She’d worked hard to get where she was and ignored her body’s signals to slow down and regroup.  She kept going until her body wouldn’t co-operate any longer and had a physical collapse that sidelined her for six months.   Join us as Alex shares how her burn out experience inspired her to become a Performance-Neuro Coach who helps her clients optimize their performance through confidence, self-worth, and courageous action.  To connect with Alex: Podcast: Unleashed & Unstoppable:  https://www.unleashedandunstoppablepodcast.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexliannecarter/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex.lianne.carter/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unleashedunstoppablepodcast  Website: https://alexliannecarter.com/  Announcing the launch of my six week online course:  Way of Wisdom:  Deepening the Journey in The Second Half Of Life - 6 consecutive Wednesdays at 6 PM Pacific, starting July 12, 2023.    For more information and to register, visit https://www.judithrich.com/wayofwisdom  Available for purchase on the website:     Judith’s best selling book- Beyond the Box:  Lean Out, Break Free, Rise Up!,now available in 2 new formats:  Audiobook (English only)  eBook- English and Spanish   Join our private Facebook Group- Living in The New Beyond:     Lastly, dear listeners, a request of support-    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!     I love hearing from you, receiving your feedback about the podcast or the FB group or anything else that’s on your heart.  Don’t hesitate to reach out and connect.     Many blessings, Judith

S3 E20 The Blessings Are Always With You “The blessings are always with you.” These are the words that were spoken to me by an I Ching master in Taiwan twenty years ago.   The I Ching is one of the oldest spiritual books in the world and for many Chinese philosophers, it is as important as the Bible is to Western society.  Essentially, it is a means of obtaining spiritual guidance, insight, and wisdom.   In this week’s episode, I share my experience of what I learned that day with the I Ching master and how it has impacted my life since then. The learning has been significant on many different levels.   I learned that blessings and miracles are commonplace events, and available to anyone who is willing to receive them. But was I willing to RECEIVE the blessings that are always with me? Big learning here! And guess what?  The blessings are always with you, too!  Can you receive them is the question.  Discover what I learned about what keeps us from receiving them and how you can be a magnet for all the goodness waiting to be given to you.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS Announcing the launch of my eight week online course: Elder School:  Finding Meaning and Purpose in the Third Act of Your Life- 8 consecutive Wednesdays at 6 PM Pacific, starting July 12, 2023.    For more information and to register, visit my https://www.judithrich.com/wayofwisdom Available for purchase here: https://www.judithrich.com/bookstore Judith’s best selling book- Beyond the Box:  Lean Out, Break Free, Rise Up!, now available in 2 new formats:  Audiobook (English only)  eBook- English and Spanish Books are vailable for purchase here: https://www.judithrich.com/bookstore   Join our private Facebook Group- Living in The New Beyond Lastly, dear listeners, a request of support-  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!   I love hearing from you, receiving your feedback about the podcast or the FB group or anything else that’s on your heart.  Don’t hesitate to reach out and connect.   Many blessings, Judith

S3, E19: Unspeakable Truths and Transforming Conversations - Shelli Jost Brady 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.   Born on a farm in South Dakota, daughter of a father in the military, Shelli’s nomadic youth instilled the importance of finding affinity in disparate groups to create comfort in ever-changing and dangerous environments.   She has created curriculums in human rights, conflict transformation, relationships, and reconciliation for organizations and communities at large.   Join us for this deep and engaging conversation about: How do we be in communication when there is disagreement? How do we create environments that are safe for people to be empowered to tell the truth? What is an authentic apology? What is to be Selfish vs Selffull How do we restore communication when we’ve harmed someone? Where and how do we begin this process?

S3 E18 The Perils of Oversharing Have you ever heard someone sharing a grievance, or in a social media post in which they indulge themselves in their own pity party?   If you’re ever left feeling like you need to take a shower after reading or listening to this kind of share, chances are the person sharing crossed a line and veered from “being open, vulnerable and transparent” (all admirable qualities) into being manipulative and self indulgent.   And how do you know where is the line?  How do you know when you think you’re being “open and vulnerable” and you feel like you need to “get it all out”, that you’ve crossed a line and you end up covertly manipulating your listener for sympathy or attention?   This is the subject of this week’s episode.   Many times, we get so caught up in airing our points of view, sharing our feelings, being right about how bad someone else is or how admirably we handled a difficult situation, we fail to notice the impact we’re having on the people around us.   Know where and when it’s appropriate to “spill your guts” and how much of your journey others really want to know.   Join as we dive into a discussion on “the perils and pitfalls of self-development” and learn how to come back from the brink of becoming self-indulgent. ********** You’re Invited!!

S3 E17: How Do You Build Bridges?  A Conversation with Ebtehal Badawi 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.     She got a bachelor’s degree in biology from King Abdul-Aziz University.  Shortly after graduating, she got married and came to the US via a joint scholarship from the Saudi Arabian government.    A desire to pursue a career in art still burned in her, but since she had no training in that field, she went on to earn a master’s degree in Industrial Hygiene from West Virginia University.  But her heart was not in it.     She always felt that something was missing. After developing an interest in art therapy, she took the required classes in Art and Psychology to pursue a specialty in art therapy and that endeavor is still ongoing.    Join us as we explore Ebtehal’s amazing story of how her vision and passion for using art as a medium to encourage diversity, inclusion, and connection came together to create something far beyond anything she could imagine.     Through her Pittsburg Builds Bridges Initiative, her vision is to create art that uplifts peoples’ souls and inspires other artists to share the beauty and the magic of their art.    Ebtehal is also a 2022 Pittsburgh TEDx speaker.   To learn more about Ebethal’s vision reach out to her at: Email: ebtehal@owewcorp.com Tedx Talk:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4I3FNFmMzg ***************************************** Join our private Facebook Group- Living in The New Beyond:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthenewbeyond/ Reach out and connect with Judith in the following places:   Website:  www.judithrich.com E Book:  Beyond the Box, www.judithrich.com/bookstore Email:  thenewbeyond2022@gmail.com Lastly, thank you dear listeners, for sharing, reviewing and following us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast providers.

S3 E16 Learning to Love the Unlovable 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.   Those pesky traits like being too controlling, too loud, too much, too shy, too fearful, too anxious, untrusting, lacking confidence, etc.   You seem to have no control over them and try as you might, you just can’t get rid of them.  Well, guess what?  You don’t need to get rid of them!   BUT if you want to have your life work, you do need to learn how to be with them in an empowering way.  And THAT is what we’re taking on in this week’s episode.   How do we find the courage to open to, and accept, all of what we are, even these most unlovable qualities?  How do we acquire the confidence to live with that kind of openness and be present to whatever coming up in the moment, just as it is, with clarity and kindness?  How do we let life, with all of its disappointments and sorrows soften our heart? How can we avoid spiritual bypassing, look at ourselves head on, and do the inner work necessary to discover who we truly are, even with all of these undesirable qualities that reside in us?   Join us as we dive into this territory you might have been avoiding your entire life and discover what’s possible when you do.  You’re Invited!!

The question arises:  In the face of all the disruption and turmoil in the world and in our personal lives, how do we keep going?  How do we sustain passion, vision, intention, commitment, all of those things that we know are important for our lives in terms of living satisfying fulfilling purpose-filled lives, how do we keep all of that going year after year after year in the face of what now lives as tremendous disappointment, setback, discouragement? How do we keep going?  How do we NOT give up when at times it feels hopeless or pointless and we’re exhausted? In this week’s episode, I share what helps me keep on going, when at an age when my peers long ago retired, I continue to carry on, with renewed vigor, enjoying the process, a life-long learner, still on the path of making a difference.   It isn’t always easy, but there are some key things I’ve learned along the way and I want to pass them along to you.   Join me, as we unpack the “secret sauce” that will sustain you, nourish you, inspire you when you’re running on empty.  Join our private Facebook Group Living in The New Beyond:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthenewbeyond/ Reach out and connect with Judith in the following places:   Website:  www.judithrich.com Book:  Beyond the Box, available on Amazon eBook:  www.judithrich.com Audiobook:  www.judithrich.com FB :https://www.facebook.com/LiveintheNewBeyond Audio series:  www.judithrich.com/meditations Email:  thenewbeyond2022@gmail.com Lastly, thank you dear listeners, for sharing, reviewing and following us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast providers.  It makes a significant difference, and I am so appreciative of your support!

S3 E13 Unlocking Intimacy: A Conversation About Relationships - Andrea Ivanka “The truth is if we are brave enough to be vulnerable often enough, we will fall.  And if we know that and risk it anyway, we are pulled forward to even greater courage.” Andrea Ivanka 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. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I highly encourage you to do so and hear from Andrea about her Ukrainian roots and how the war in Ukraine has impacted her community. 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. She shares her experience of how she was able to move through intense emotions and discover her “vibrational set point”, that place inside each of us that allows us to true up to who we truly are vs. the strong feelings we might be having in the moment. We discuss the character qualities that serve as stepping-stones that unlock our ability to be vulnerable and set us on a path to cross the river of emotions we feel when we’re in a breakdown and move us in the direction of resolution. Join us for this deep, intimate and personal conversation with a woman who is at the forefront of coaching and guiding women to become their best selves.
