Vision Beyond Sight

In this powerful episode, Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight sits down with Mardi Moore, CEO of Rocky Mountain Equality and the Rocky Mountain Equality Action Fund, for a candid conversation about advancing the rights, visibility, and socio-economic well-being of the LGBTQ+ community. Together, they explore the current wave of anti-trans legislation and executive actions, and the real-world consequences of policy decisions affecting gender-affirming care through Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. Mardi shares heartbreaking and inspiring stories — from partners denied hospital access before marriage equality to bullied LGBTQ+ youth finding safety and belonging through community support. The conversation highlights the wide-ranging work of Rocky Mountain Equality: protecting trans youth, training law enforcement through the Safety in Pride program, supporting people who relocate to Colorado for affirming care, convening faith leaders for mutual aid efforts, condensing complex federal reports into accessible information, and advocating for fair-minded candidates in schools and public office. Grounded in resilience and Harvey Milk’s quote “You got to give them hope,” this episode is both a clear-eyed look at today’s challenges and an uplifting reminder that change happens through community, courage, and love.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Andy Bayon, Founder and Community Director of Earth Tribes, coach, speaker and Earth Steward Leader, to talk about leadership that heals the Earth through inner vision, action and community. What does it really mean to heal our relationship with the Earth? In this episode, Andy explores the idea that there is no separation between humans and the natural world—and that reconnecting with nature begins within. Through stillness and intuition, we uncover how being in action for the planet can be deeply healing. The conversation weaves together personal stories of courage, including a one-way journey to the Amazon for healing work, reflections on impostor syndrome and perfectionism, and inspiring examples of everyday heroes restoring the Earth and fighting against climate change with limited resources. From mangrove conservation to youth-led creativity and environmental leadership, this episode is a reminder that anyone can make a difference. By embracing imperfection, finding your people, and honoring your inner vision, we’re invited to stand up for what we believe in — and remember why we chose this path in the first place.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Katherine Reid, founder of Unblind My Mind, and author, to talk about glutamate hidden in the food supply wreaking havoc on our health. With a daughter in the autism spectrum, Katherine discovered that removing glutamate (including MSG) and casein in her food led to positive changes in her daughter’s behavior, language and creativity. She then applied her expertise in biochemistry to study increased glutamate signaling in the body and its connection to chronic inflammations, one of the body’s ways of signaling red fire alert. Learn about Katherine’s struggles for glutamate awareness: against the quality of food available in schools, manufacturers that are not required to disclose glutamate content, the medical community’s shortcomings, and indeed even her daughter who upon her adulthood decided to go back to eating highly processed food (with negative results, as Katherine observed). Find out about the importance of fiber, tips on choosing organic food, and how to quality control your home’s food as detailed in her book, Fat, Stressed and Sick: MSG, Processed Foods and America’s Health Crisis.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with K.J. Risley or Kellie, a divorced mom and the author of “Rage & Reps, a 30-Day movement and healing journal for women rebuilding after betrayal,” to talk about helping women use Rage & Reps as a starting point to clear their minds, move their bodies, and rise stronger after betrayal. When Kellie’s ex-husband had an affair, she turned to journaling and movement as an outlet for her rage. While she was a natural when it comes to working out, she discovered that journaling wasn’t as easy or straightforward. As she navigated through her journey, she realized that women who experienced heartbreak and betrayal like her could benefit from a similar program, a healing journal combined with movement (and more!) that provides prompts and routines to help disentangle the confused mind and destress the tense body. And so Rage & Reps was born. K.J. inspires women who experienced life-altering pain and heartbreak especially those in their midlife. It’s not your fault that you were betrayed. Forgive yourself and be empowered. In your journey forward, you will have to choose your hard: Do you want a pity party or create a life where you can succeed? How do you start perfectly? You don’t. Start simple and start messy. Start releasing that rage and doing those reps, and you’ll surely be on the way to recovery.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Ranae Van Roekel, founder of Connecting to Cope, trauma informed coach, justice reform advocate, and caregiver coach, to talk about her journey of healing from being a felon behind bars that led to her passion for justice reform. She shares her story with the hope of helping others heal from their trauma, utilize self-care and coping strategies, and avoid the consequences and impact of unresolved trauma. Turning herself in is just the start of her recovery. Ranae shares how to find safety in healing behind bars through peer advocates, and the different programs and therapies like CBT and EMDR that helped her discover who she was and how to be herself. By building the program Connecting to Cope (named after her dog!), Ranae now advocates for reforms in the justice system that prioritizes restoration, not destruction, and lowering the rate of recidivism. She helps people cope with post-incarceration syndrome, and emphasizes the need for programs in schools with high-risk demographics. Ranae is here to make you realize that, “You are not the worst thing you ever did and not the best thing you ever did. You are a culmination of everything you’ve done in your life.” Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Lisa Cooney, seasoned psychotherapist, trauma recovery expert, and founder of One Degree Shift Academy, to talk about the human side of therapists and how their own underlying issues can affect their approach to their clients. Lisa found her calling in helping others heal from their traumas through her superpower of bringing the yin and yang to her work: the psychological and physical - but it wasn’t a simple path. Having experienced trauma and abuse at a young age, she was aware of “the invisible cage of abuse” that persists in victims, and the subtle effects of counter-transference where therapists’ own traumas can affect their work. She recognizes the need for integrity and accountability for professionals like her to set boundaries and even decline a client when they are dealing with similar issues. In fact, she even did her own work of seeking help in dealing with her own issues early in her career. Ultimately, Lisa’s goal is to contribute to clients’ willingness to actually change, not just engage. By confronting people’s toxicity, she opened the path for communication and healing. Lisa inspires you to trust yourself and make changes, even just one-degree shifts. Take the next right action every day and you’ll realize that these small steps can end up into huge results.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Hannah Walton, vision therapist and intuitive wellness guide, to talk about holistic wellness—exploring the power of slowing down, nourishing the nervous system and reconnecting with our intuitive wisdom as a compass for living with more balance, authenticity, and alignment. She starts with breathwork. Breath is medicine, and it is our anchor to grounding and bridge to our intuition. She teaches us that intuition is not woo-woo - it’s wisdom - so follow it even if it defies logic. Discover our three brains: the head brain, heart brain and gut brain, each with its own intelligence. Find out about heart-brain coherence and how to become heart-led humans. As a vision therapist, Hannah helps build resilience, confidence and trust with our sensory system by integrating holistic wisdom and collaborating with other fields towards total wellness.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Erica Hornthal, known as “The Therapist That Moves You,” board-certified dance/movement therapist, award-winning author and founder of Chicago Dance Therapy, to talk about dance movement therapy and how it provides structure and space for people to truly listen to their bodies. Movement is life and our movements influence our thoughts, which influence our behavior, which makes us who we are. Somatic therapy teaches us that the body keeps score and remembers specific incidents in our lives that could create perceived threats where there are none. Learn how to widen the window of tolerance towards adjustment, discover the difference between movement that perpetuates trauma versus dispelling and releasing built up energy that improve your well-being. Erica emphasizes the importance of finding stability and safety in your environment while building a diverse movement vocabulary. There is expression and communication beyond words, and dance as a therapeutic modality and artform is one of the keys to unlocking what’s inside you. Remember that we were born movers, not thinkers, so if you want to think differently, you have to move differently.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight has an extra special show this week as she speaks with Dr. Robert Sanet, owner and director of the San Diego Center for Vision Care, adjunct associate professor at several colleges of optometry, past president of COVD, and international consultant to hospitals and teaching centers in Spain, Italy and China, to talk about his inspiring life as a lecturer on behavioral optometry, and ultimately, love and humanity. Bob has the rare gift of helping people to feel seen, heard, safe and loved by exposing his struggles and vulnerabilities, starting with his own learning issues growing up that led him to his successful career, focusing mostly on kids with learning and behavioral problems (like nine-year old Grace who successfully learned to feed herself). Deciding that he “wants to touch a million lives before he dies,” he shifted from being a practicing behavioral optometrist into a lecturer. By seeing his students as collaborators and people he can equally learn from, he touched the hearts of many doctors and gave them space to speak up about their own flaws, ultimately changing their practice from being diagnosis-focused to patient-focused. Even now when he was already diagnosed of macular degeneration that already left him legally blind and Stage 4 metastatic lung cancer that is incurable, Bob still chooses every day to “live until he dies” and see the world even without the sight and strength he used to have. He wishes that this show will remind you to find your passion and love what you do, whether it’s being a behavioral optometrist or trimming trees (like his happy godson). Get out of your small life that is all about yourself, treasure your pillars of support (like his loving wife Linda), and change other people’s lives for the better. Remember: “The true gift of giving is planting trees under whose shade you’ll never sit.” Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight is back with a solo show to update you all about her life months after her retirement this January. She talks about letting go of attachments in her career and even the roles in her family, and embracing these changes with courage, community, love and trust in the divine. She intends to continue in bringing awareness to the power of vision, whether the physical, emotional or spiritual kind. As she undergoes her recertification as a trainor for RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory), she discusses doing RIM personal work that made her realize how overprotectiveness ran in her family, and that it’s more important to be honest, authentic and emotionally healthy especially for her daughters and grandchildren. She also touches on the value of being of service in the community and being grounded in spirituality. Lastly, she invites us all to reflect on what we want to create for our lives by answering a few, simple questions that will allow us to look at ourselves through a fresh, new lens. Remember that retirement is not the end but the beginning of a new chapter.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Christine Woodside, writer, historian, editor, professor, and author of the book Going Over the Mountain: One Woman’s Journey from Follower to Solo Hiker and Back. For 20 years Chris has been the editor-in-chief of Appalachia, the country’s longest running mountaineering journal. Chris talks about her wilderness memoir Going Over the Mountain, how outdoor adventure - often alone - makes women stronger, and the ways her outdoor life has made her regular life richer and better. When Chris started hiking with her family as a child, she never stopped. Eventually, she conquered the Appalachian Trail with her husband, hiking an average of 15 miles a day. More than the distance, it’s the lessons that stuck with her during those hot, grueling days and nights she spent crying. “Put aside your emotions and just walk.” After four and a half months, she completed the trail and was never the same as she faced the regular world. She passed on the lessons of resilience in the mountains to her daughters, until later in life she decided to go on hiking alone, discovering new revelations about herself, the gift of time and living fully in a way that works for you and your stage in life. All the inspiration and wisdom she acquired fueled her other passion of writing, which she now shares to other aspiring writers in an annual writing workshop adventure.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Rand Selig, accomplished entrepreneur, coach, scoutmaster, board member, and roll-up-your-sleeves conservationist, to talk about his book Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life, and having the power to make choices about how to live and change, leading to enhanced vitality, a sense of purpose, and even reach our full potential. Are you Thriving? It’s not about money and material things. Our society has a problem of not knowing what is enough, and we tend to constantly want to compare ourselves to others. Rand reminds us to be superior not with your fellow man but with your former self. The trick about aging well is vitality, not longevity, and that involves having a purpose all the way to the end and being emotionally healthy. Embrace what you can control, everything after that is only about influence. Learn to clean your relationships and finish your business with other people as early as you can. Find out about writing an ethical will to those you love. Thrive with yourself, with others, with the world, and by moving ever forward in your life!

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Jennifer Kushell, global thought leader on youth employment and entrepreneurship, and founder and CEO of Exploring Your Potential (EYP), an edtech company helping schools teach work and life readiness to students, to talk about lifechanging and personalized workforce education for high school and college students through the EYP elearning program. We know that 50% of college students and 75% of high school students graduate feeling unprepared to make career decisions. That’s not a failure of effort—it’s a signal that the system isn’t designed to meet each student where they are. Most schools simply don’t have the time or tools to help students explore their individual interests, strengths, or goals in a meaningful way. But we’re helping educators lean in—creating space for students to reflect, get curious about their future, and begin to shape it with purpose. When students feel seen and supported in that process, they show up differently—with more motivation, clarity, and confidence. That’s the shift we’re working toward. Shouldn’t every student have that chance? Jennifer also talked her diagnosis with attention deficit disorder and how learning differences can be considered as a strength and even an inspiration for young people to connect with her. She recognizes the epidemic of isolated youth high anxiety and depression, and the need to develop grit. She aims for a global effort to make sure that our youth’s support networks have the right information to make the best decisions in ensuring they feel seen and heard so as to ignite the passion of creating a better world for their generation and beyond.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Robert Lederman, neuro-developmental optometrist and international speaker, to talk about the big impact of vision to learning and why we are still missing it. “We live in the illusion that seeing is easy.” Robert revealed how myopia or nearsightedness has higher incidents in certain populations, questioned why having myopia as a condition is being considered normal when growing up, and provided myopia prevention tips especially for children. He also delved in the wrong expectations set to optometric vision therapy by pointing out the differences between language-based and vision-based learning difficulties, and how 20-20 vision is not a reliable measure to know if you are meeting the visual demands of your life. Functional testing is inadequate, and seeing a developmental optometrist would solve the undiagnosed and untreated visual inefficiencies that are preventing your child (or even you!) from living a full life.
