Truth & Transcendence
Hosted by Catherine Llewellyn | Brought to you by Being Space


Welcome to Truth & Transcendence — a podcast for seekers, leaders, creatives, and changemakers who are exploring the deeper layers of human experience.

Launched in mid-2021, this show was born out of a time of global uncertainty.  It began as a space to support conscious leadership in challenging times — a call to strength, wisdom, and integrity. 


Since then, the podcast has evolved alongside the world around us. Now, we welcome a rich tapestry of guests: senior leaders, coaches, artists, spiritual guides, alternative practitioners, and everyday people living extraordinary lives.


Our focus is no longer just on navigating crisis — but on embracing the joy of creation, discovery, and soulful expansion.


Each week brings two episodes:
🔹 Nugget Mondays – brief, insightful solo reflections.
🔹 Guest Fridays – open-hearted, unscripted conversations that dive deep.


We don’t do scripts. We follow the energy of the moment. If you're walking your path with curiosity and courage — and you're ready to join us for stories, wisdom, and questions shared with honesty and presence — this may be the perfect show for you.


Let’s explore what it really means to live a life of truth and transcendence.

Ep 62: Modesty, Humility & Self-Appreciation

Modesty, Humility & Self-Appreciation Many of us have a habit of putting ourselves down. And we find it uncomfortable to receive appreciative feedback.

Equally - there are locations where the cultural norm is to ‘big ourselves up’. To present ourselves as bigger and better that we actually perceive ourselves to be. Just as unhealthy in my opinion. In this episode we exp...

Or - when we simply don’t want to do something - in which case - probably don’t do it!
