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 Byron Athene:
Byron has been interested in the fields of philosophy and psychology since 1991. He had a debilitating stutter his whole life but developed a growth mindset, trained to become a therapist, coach and has now developed his own therapeutic approach. Byron is also a trainer and author but would firstly describe himself as a philosopher.
