What if you already know the answer, but the noise in your head keeps drowning it out?


In this live conversation, Cathy sits down with speaker and coach Rudi Riekstins to explore the difference between fear, familiar mental patterns, and the quieter internal signals we often call intuition. Rudi shares his idea of the “still point,” a place beneath the mental noise where he believes we can become more aware of what feels expansive and what feels restrictive.


Rudi also tells the remarkable story of being told at 18 that he would never find true love, carrying that prediction for years, and eventually deciding he would no longer let someone else’s story determine what was possible for him. He shares what happened when he later met the woman he had somehow felt certain was coming into his life.


Cathy and Rudi talk about why familiar patterns can be so hard to leave, what it looks like to create space before reacting, and why constantly looking outside yourself for the answer can make it harder to hear what you already know. Cathy closes the conversation with a reminder to make time for the most important meeting of the day: the one where you get quiet enough to listen to yourself, your soul, and God.


This episode is for you if you overthink decisions, struggle to trust yourself, or feel like everyone else’s opinions have gotten louder than your own inner knowing.
