Ep 188: Kim Korte ~ The Flavours of Emotions
Can emotions be managed like a well-curated recipe? This episode features Kim Korte, a sensory perception and emotion management strategist, who likens her ideation skills to painting with ideas, creating new solutions from diverse concepts. Kim's unique gift has empowered her to creatively address complex problems, transforming personal experience into a journey of emotional awareness and growth. Through her insights, we explore how emotional agency and understanding the brain's predictive nature can guide us toward more fulfilling personal and professional interactions.Listeners will gain insight from Kim's recent book 'Yukky Yummy Savory Sweet', which serves as a pragmatic guide for connecting with our emotions through the lens of interoception. By treating emotions as a multi-sensory experience, akin to flavours, Kim offers a fresh perspective on how to navigate our internal emotional landscapes. This concept is especially transformative for those who have experienced trauma, as we explore exercises designed to enhance interoceptive awareness and attune us to the physical manifestations of our emotions.Kim challenges us to rethink our emotional responses and invites us to examine our beliefs just as a curious child would. Emphasising emotional granularity and flexibility, the conversation encourages listeners to develop a nuanced emotional palate, advocating for emotional growth and leadership that is rooted in conscious inquiry and engagement.

Ep 187: Fearlessness & Joy in the Now
What if the key to your happiness lies not in what you have, but in how you perceive your fears? An exploration of how perceived threats can obscure our emotional well-being and how living in the present can help us reclaim our happiness. Discover the touching story of a woman who initially believed her brain condition was the root of her unhappiness, only to find that her anxiety was the true source. By choosing to focus on the present, she found joy despite her challenges. Through reflections on this insight, we examine how the fear of losing material possessions, relationships, or status can similarly impact our sense of well-being, emphasising the importance of reclaiming control over our emotional state.In another memorable moment, I share a heartfelt visit with my elderly aunt, whose contentment despite memory loss challenges the notion that happiness is dependent on retaining everything we have. Her experience, coupled with the humour shared among her fellow residents, highlights the power of gratitude and the persistence of happiness even beyond loss. As we journey through these powerful stories, we learn to question the necessity of clinging to fears and attachments, instead appreciating our inherent capacity for happiness. For those seeking further personal growth, I invite you to engage with my work in Transformational Coaching and the Freedom of Spirit workshop, where fulfillment and freedom await.Support the show=== 🤝 Join our Being Space Community ✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com ✦ Website: https://beingspace.world ✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn ✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/ ✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld ✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world ______ Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate Podcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellyn Podcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendence Podcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/ Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/ VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/...

Ep 185: Fear, Ego & Awakening
What if awakening isn't about reaching a higher state but about acknowledging where we are, with all our fears and ego issues? Unravelling the intricate dance of awakening, a natural part of being human that invites us to explore various states of consciousness. I'll share a personal journey through guided meditation, where fear initially held me back, and discuss how cultural conditioning often teaches us to avoid our inner truths. Together, we'll explore the beauty of self-discovery that lies beyond the limitations of language and the unspoken truths about ourselves.Awakening doesn't come with a hierarchy, and labeling others as "asleep" only feeds the ego. Instead, recognising our own moments of "asleepness" can be a powerful tool for growth. I'm grateful for the support of our community, and I encourage you to engage with this journey by sharing your thoughts and experiences. Whether you're curious about transformation, eager to explore coaching, or interested in the workshops at beingspace.world, there's something here for everyone on the path of self-discovery.

What if your deepest wounds could become your greatest source of wisdom and empowerment? In this episode of Truth and Transcendence, I share my transformative experience at the workshop "Beyond Wounded ~ Toward Wisdom," led by the incomparable Julie Parker. Having walked her own path of healing and integration, Julie crafted a journey that encourages us to see our early life wounds not as burdens, but as rich opportunities for growth.

We explore how these experiences are aligned with our life's purpose and how they can enrich our current existence. This isn't about revisiting the past to fix it, but about recognising the wisdom within those experiences and applying it to foster a more sovereign and empowered life. Whether through meditation, reflection, or other modalities, the lessons from this workshop invite us to embrace our past with curiosity and openness, ultimately leading to a more empowered present.And that's just Day One of this extraordinary workshop!Currently available in the UK/Ireland only.Where to find out more about Beyond Wounded ~ Toward Wisdom:https://beyondwounded.comhttps://www.facebook.com/BeyondWoundedListen to Julie Parker on Truth & Transcendence episode 37:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1819443/episodes/10337947Support the show=== 🤝 Join our Being Space Community ✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com ✦ Website: https://beingspace.world ✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn ✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/ ✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld ✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world ______ Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate Podcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellyn Podcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendence Podcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/ Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/ VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/...
