Catherine explores two ways of approaching life: setting clear goals and plans, or following the energy of what feels alive and meaningful.

Reflecting on conversations with friends about the success of Truth & Transcendence and her other projects, Catherine describes how she tends to respond to her inner voice and to what each project seems to be calling for, rather than aiming for specific outcomes such as money, status or achievement.

She compares this with bringing up a child. The purpose is not to gain a reward, but to respond to what the child needs to become the best and happiest person they can be. In the same way, a project or vocation can be guided by care, passion and purpose rather than a fixed result.

Catherine acknowledges that goal-setting can be powerful and has worked well for her at times. At other times, pursuing a goal has been a disaster because it was not right for that particular endeavour. Her invitation is to tune in before deciding whether to make plans and measure progress or to allow things to unfold.

Neither approach is always right. The balance between deliberate goal-setting and following the energy may change at different stages of life.

Catherine welcomes Joe Hehn, a dynamic mindset expert, keynote speaker and creator of The Higher Perspective, for a conversation about consciousness, perspective, authenticity and the idea that we are God, experiencing God, with God, through God.

Joe has more than a decade of experience helping individuals, teams and organisations cultivate positive mindsets, embrace authenticity, manifest goals, deepen connection and build thriving cultures. He is also a published novelist, corporate consultant, husband and father.

Joe shares how his own journey through success, loss, grief and searching led him to explore spirituality, neuroscience, philosophy and different traditions around the world. They discuss how perspective shapes experience, the possibility of using consciousness to create a more aligned life, and how suffering can become a gateway to transformation.

The conversation also explores Joe's experience of moving from performing and trying to prove his value towards showing up authentically, and his message to people who help others: it is not simply what you know or what you can do, but who you are that makes the difference.

Catherine explores a paradox: how can we grow and change without making ourselves wrong or trying to become somebody different?

Drawing on an Enlightenment Intensive workshop she attended years ago, she asks whether we can give up wanting to change and instead surrender to accepting ourselves and our lives as they are. She suggests that our power lies in being present with what is true now, rather than fighting with ourselves.

Catherine distinguishes between working on aspects of our behaviour and trying to change who we fundamentally are. She uses her own capacity for being bossy as an example, and explains how accepting that part of herself actually reduced its hold on her and created more freedom to choose how she behaved.

She also explores this through the metaphor of a garden. We can remove dead growth, clear paths and help the roses thrive without believing the garden is fundamentally broken. In the same way, we can work on our relationships, behaviour, attitudes or knowledge from a place of self-trust and acceptance.

The invitation is to surrender into exactly who you are now, while remaining free to learn, grow and make changes by choice rather than from a belief that you need fixing.
