The New Beyond with Dr. Judith Rich

As the American presidential election draws near, we take on one of the most pressing questions many voters face: Does my vote really matter?

As the resident of a historically “blue” state, I’m often asked, “Why bother to vote?”  And I'm told that “my vote doesn’t matter.”   

 In this week's episode, I challenge the notion of indifference and explore how our decision to vote—or not—reflects more than just political engagement. It speaks to how we show up in our lives.

Through insightful reflections, we’ll connect the act of voting to a deeper, more personal level. As listeners, you’ll be encouraged  to examine where else in life you’ve chosen to "sit it out" or walk away from challenges, and what that says about how we value our own voices.

 Drawing on history, from civil rights leaders to everyday acts of courage, we’re reminded  that exercising our right to vote isn’t just a political act—it’s an affirmation of our belief that we matter.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

With the future of the country at stake, I contend that showing up matters—not just for the election, but for the soul of the citizen in all of us.

Join the conversation, reflect on your own role, and most importantly—make your voice count.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The New Beyond, I sit down with Dr. Helmut Love, a speaker, producer, and founder of the nonprofit, The Gayley Impact, to discuss his journey of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. 

Helmut shares his deeply personal story of navigating life as a gay father, his battle with reconciling his sexual orientation with his Christian faith, and how his experiences shaped his mission to create a more equitable and loving world.

The conversation delves into themes of spiritual awakening, intergenerational bonds, and the need for inclusive leadership, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. 

Helmut also discusses his upcoming book, Wake Up to Your Life Magic, which calls for a collective awakening to the role we each play in writing the story of Earth.

He shares insights on how his unique perspective as a Christian gay man allows him to bridge divides and inspire others to embrace their true selves, all while working toward social justice, workforce development, and wealth redistribution.

Through this engaging and inspiring dialogue, Helmut and I explore the transformative power of love, unity, and authenticity, offering listeners a message of hope and empowerment in the midst of personal and societal change.

Key Takeaways:

Tune in and discover how embracing your authenticity and awakening to your life's calling can create lasting impact.

In this powerful and reflective episode of The New Beyond, we'll dive deep into the concept of heroism, challenging the conventional definitions and shining a light on the quiet, everyday acts of bravery that often go unnoticed.

While society often glorifies grand heroic gestures, we'll explore the profound heroism that comes from simply being human, facing life's challenges, and continuing forward with resilience, compassion, and integrity.

What makes an everyday hero?

It’s a mother giving birth, a teacher guiding students, or someone showing up as their authentic self in a world that may not always embrace them. In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on the quiet acts of heroism that we all embody, and how these simple, yet powerful, actions contribute to the greater good.

Heroism isn't always about grand, life-saving acts; sometimes, it’s the simple choice to live with authenticity, to care for others, and to face life’s challenges head-on.

Our individual actions, no matter how small, contribute to the collective resilience and strength of humanity as we navigate these difficult and polarized times.

This week’s episode is an interview from the summit, Midlife Spiritual Warrior, with hypontherapist and shamanic practitioner, Beth Osmer..

You might be wondering what I was doing on a summit focused on issues of midlife?  Beth invited me to share with her audience some of the keys to living a life of vitality, energy and purpose well beyond the midlife years, basically what I call “Living a Life That Matters”. 

What follows is our conversation about what has served me to keep going at a high level of creativity and engagement in a career that spans 50 years.  

Some of the key things we discuss are the importance of: 

Join us in this rich conversation of what I’ve learned in 82 years of living a life that matters.

In this episode of The New Beyond, we kick off Season 6 with a deep dive into the cosmic and spiritual dynamics influencing our world today, particularly in the context of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. 

Moving beyond the surface of politics, we explore the broader shift from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius—a time characterized by the rise of the archetypal Feminine and a move toward unity and higher consciousness. 

Through a powerful reflection on the "Story of the Soul of Humanity," we examine how the collective struggles we face mirror the inner battles within each of us, and how our individual choices contribute to the evolution of humanity's soul. 

As we navigate this era of transition, we are reminded that who we are, and the choices we make, matter deeply. Join us as we explore the profound promise of the Aquarian Age and what it means for us all as we step into The New Beyond.

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.

 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.
