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 109: Please Don't Funnel Me! ~ Exploring the Impact of Funneling in Relationships
Please Don't Funnel Me!Exploring the Impact of Funneling in Relationships: A Perspective on Conscious and Unconscious InfluencesHave you ever felt uncomfortably processed, like a mere statistic on a spreadsheet or an impersonal number on a list? That's how I began to feel with the increasingly popular strategy of funneling in relationships used by organisations. I've grown weary of this impersonal approach and have made the conscious decision to pull away from it. But how does this funneling affect our daily lives and decisions? I invite you to join me as we unravel this intriguing social and business phenomenon.As we venture into this candid exploration, we'll dive deep into the distinction between conscious and unconscious funneling in our relationships. How much of our choices are genuinely ours and how much are subtly influenced by these funneling processes? In addition, we'll address the prickly issue of unauthorized list additions. Although economic pressures may drive organisations to such tactics, we'll discuss the potential repercussions and impacts on the authenticity of relationships. Ultimately, the goal is to encourage mindful decision making, ensuring we uphold our dignity and foster authentic relationships amidst the pressures of our fast-paced world.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/...

Leading Through the Void & the Value of RetreatsMy friend and regular guest Thom Dennis of Serenity in Leadership is offering an extraordinary retreat experience in September. Thom invited me to have a chat with him about it, as part of his 'spreading the word' activity. We decided to take the opportunity to dive into a bit of a deeper discussion about the value of retreats in general, and why we both feel senior leaders do well to carve out time now and then for such experiences.If you're curious and would like to find out more about the Leading Through the Void Retreat, you can connect with Thom on LinkedIn, or check out the website:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomdennis/https://leadingthroughthevoid.comSupport 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/...

Ep106: Danielle Matthews - Finding our True Self & Bouncing Back from Disaster
Finding our True Self & Bouncing Back from DisasterAt the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”. Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover…and she did! She is a testament to the concept of post traumatic growth and has since built an international business leading an organization that did $2.2 million in sales last year, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control: It's All In Your Head' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.Danielle has a beautiful fresh approach to life that I find inspiring. I wouldn’t wish what happened to her on anyone. But perhaps we can learn something from Danielle about finding our True Self and transcending seemingly impossible odds.Where to find Danielle:https://danielle.teamasea.com/This website has a Contact Me button which will allow people to reach out directly to Danielle.She would also like to gift Truth & Transcendence listeners a free download of her e-book: MIND CONTROL: It's All In Your Head.https://brainbodyself.com/ebook/instagram _daniellematthews_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 104: Steve Sommerfeld - Freestyling, Being Made To Stop & Starting Again
Freestyling, Being Made To Stop & Starting AgainSteve is a man who is not afraid to take risks. Both physically - obviously - and now more personally as he chooses to explore on the air the awkward and challenging experience of ‘starting again’. We all know that Starting Again is an inevitable part of life experience - and yet how much energy do we put into avoiding it, or rushing headlong into it, or theorising about it, or basically anything other than mindfully experiencing and living it as it happens in real time? An extremely useful inquiry for leaders and anyone wishing to be master of their own lives and supporter of others going through change.More about Steve Sommerfeld ...~ Professional Freestyle Motocross Rider since 2004.~ Athlete, Events and Marketing Manager at Freestyle Motocross World Championship series, NIGHT of the JUMPs~ Athlete Manager at Invert Management~ TV Host / Commentator~ Author: "The Ultimate Guide to Freestyle" book (2008)~ Podcast Host - "Riders Lounge Podcast"~ Founding Partner of Queensland Moto Park~ Voice over artistSteve says - ‘I have spent all of my adult life avoiding the real world at all costs.

Ep 103: Pellowah & Trusting Our Intuitive Yes
Pellowah & Trusting Our Intuitive YesFive years ago I came across Pellowah, a relatively new energy technique out of Australia. I felt an immediate appeal, which I followed, to good effect. I'm glad I trusted my own intuition and went with it.In this episode we take a moment to ask ourselves - do we trust our intuitive sense of what draws us and what we find appealing? Could we open more fully to this extraordinary 'superpower' we all have?
