    The Wisdom is Already Inside You

    We live in a world that constantly tells us to look outward — to experts, leaders, and voices of authority — for answers. Yet the deepest wisdom you long for isn’t “out there.” It’s been inside you all along. In this episode of The New Beyond, Dr. Judith Rich explores what it means to reclaim the quiet authority of your inner knowing. She shares a personal story from her own journey, reflects on the challenges of navigating today’s noisy world, and offers practical ways to listen to the soul’s steady whisper beneath the surface of fear and conformity. Together, we’ll pause, breathe, and step into that inner sanctuary — the place where your soul remembers who you are and what you know to be true. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why we’ve been conditioned to doubt our own wisdom How the soul’s voice differs from fear or outside noise A personal story about trusting inner wisdom in leadership Practical ways to strengthen your ability to listen inward A short guided reflection to help you connect with your inner knowing The wisdom you’re seeking is already within you. This episode is your invitation to trust it. ************************************************ 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 Subscribe to Soul Food:  Daily Nourishment For the Sacred Self- a year-long audio journey with Judith as your guide.  Connect with me:  Email:  judith@judithrich.com  Join my Private Facebook Group: ⁠Living in The New Beyond⁠ Subscribe to my You Tube channel- @judithrich1 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!

    What Will Be The Story of This Time?

    We are living in extraordinary times—times when the very idea of “normal” has dissolved. Guardrails are gone. Institutions are hollowed out. Rights are being stripped away. People are being silenced, canceled, and deported without due process. In this episode of The New Beyond, Dr. Judith Rich asks the question that may well define this era: What will be the story of this time? Drawing inspiration from the musical Hamilton and its haunting refrain—“Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?”—Judith explores how history will remember this moment, and how each of us will be remembered for the choices we make or fail to make. With Pluto in Aquarius for the next 20 years, we are in a cycle of transformation, disruption, and awakening. This is not about “returning to normal.” This is about building something new. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why the old idea of “normal” is gone for good How institutions and rights are being stripped away in real time The tension between free speech, censorship, and authoritarianism Why the story of this time will depend on how we show up A call to courage, action, and soul alignment in the face of fear This is not just history unfolding “out there.” This is your story, my story, our story. And it is still being written. Resources & Links: Learn more about Soul Food: Daily Nourishment for the Sacred Self here.

    Walking Through Fire: Kate Houston on Breast Cancer as Soul Initiation

    In this intimate conversation, I sat down with my friend Kate Houston—a coach, creative, and courageous truth-teller—who is currently navigating breast cancer and reconstruction. This is not a “power through it” story. It’s a living meditation on uncertainty, grief, body image, community, and the fierce tenderness it takes to belong to yourself when everything changes. Together we explore how illness can become initiation, how creativity keeps the soul speaking, and why being seen—messy, raw, and real—is its own form of medicine. What We Explore The moment life divides into “before” and “after”—and how to meet it with honesty. Letting grief, rage, and beauty co-exist without spiritual bypass. Body image after surgery: identity, worthiness, and learning to love new scars. How community holds what the nervous system can’t hold alone. Creativity as survival: punk rock, voice, and reclaiming power. Radical inner belonging vs. performative positivity. What helps on hard days: micro-rituals, movement, and telling the truth. Wisdom for supporters: what to say, what to avoid, how to show up. Memorable Lines “This isn’t about beating anything. It’s about listening to what this moment is asking of my soul.” “My body changed—and my relationship with courage had to change with it.” For Listeners On a Similar PathIf you (or someone you love) are in treatment or recovery, Kate’s perspective offers companionship, language, and permission. Take what lands. Leave the rest. Your pace is holy. About Kate Houston -Kate is a coach and creative whose work centers on love, self-worth, and authentic expression. Her current chapter includes breast cancer treatment and reconstruction—and a devotion to telling the truth in real time.

    In this inspiring and high-energy episode, I welcome transformation coach, dad, and natural physique pro Vince “Vinny” Shirey—founder of Skinny with Vinny—to explore the deeper truths behind physical transformation. What begins as a conversation about fitness quickly expands into something much more powerful: a soul-level commitment to purpose, integrity, and the legacy we leave behind.

You’ll hear Vince’s take on: Why discipline trumps motivation (every time) The mindset shift that made him unstoppable Building confidence by becoming count-on-able to yourself How walking 14,000 steps a day became a spiritual practice Creating sustainable transformation through small, consistent actions His signature “mortar days”—and why showing up imperfectly still counts Fatherhood, legacy, and embodying leadership through health The power of authenticity, vulnerability, and choosing your hard This isn’t just a fitness conversation—it’s a masterclass in integrity, alignment, and how showing up for yourself ripples into every corner of your life. Whether you’re a gym avoider, a recovering perfectionist, or someone ready to reclaim their health with heart, this episode will meet you where you are—and invite you to level up.
