Truth & Transcendence
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.

About my guest Jamie Ryder:
Mental health advocate Jamie Ryder grew up in Manchester, UK, with a comic in one hand and a Stoic quote in the other. Now he writes stealth help books where ancient wisdom and battles meet pop culture and personal growth lessons. Because self-improvement is more fun with a few fight scenes.
His latest book is History's Greatest Philosophers: Classical Wisdom for Modern Times. The book will help you apply practical philosophy to build better mindset and mental health habits.
