The Four Behaviours That Damage Relationships

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/04/18

In this episode I explore the deeper nature of relationship and the patterns that can quietly erode connection over time. We are always in relationship, all the time - with others, with ourselves, and with life itself, and the quality of our relationships is deeply connected to the relationship we have within ourselves. Relationship can act as a mirror, reflecting back aspects of ourselves we may not otherwise see, and in intimate relationships, this reflection becomes even clearer, som...

Inner Balance Over Work-Life Balance

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/04/11

In this, I explore what it really means to find balance in our lives. We often think of balance as something external - how we divide our time between work, family, rest, and the things we enjoy, and while this has its place, many people still feel stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected, even when their lives appear balanced on the surface. So what is missing? This episode looks at the deeper truth that real balance is not created through time management, but through inner balance. Through re...

Staying Present in a Busy Life

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/04/04

In this episode I explore what it means to move forward in life without losing ourselves. Modern life is often full, with our work, relationships, family, responsibilities, not to mention our goals! It’s easy to become caught up in everything that needs to be done and slowly drift away from a deeper connection to ourselves. And yet, alongside everything we do, there is always an awareness present, quietly witnessing our thoughts, actions, and experiences. This podcast explores tha...

3000 possibilities in each moment

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/03/28

In this episode, I explore the creative nature of each moment and the space that exists between what happens to us and how we respond. So much of our lives is shaped through conversation – not only with others, but within ourselves. Each interaction is like a thread, weaving the tapestry of our experience, aqqqqqnd yet, often we find ourselves repeating the same patterns, the same words, and the same reactions. In any given moment, there are countless possibilities available to us. Differe...

Learning to Trust Yourself Through Everything

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/03/21

In this episode, I explore what it really means to trust, and why the search for trust outside ourselves can never fully resolve the deeper longing within. We often look for trust in other people: in partners, teachers, therapists, friends, or those we see as authorities. We hope that if someone is reliable enough, consistent enough, or “trustworthy” enough, we will finally feel safe. But even when we choose someone as an authority, it is still our choice. And at the deepest level, ever...

Reclaiming Your Power Through Responsibility

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/03/14

In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore a powerful and sometimes uncomfortable idea that there is no-one to blame! Blame looks outward and backward, focusing on who or what caused our current situation, whereas responsibility always looks inward and forward. It asks how we meet our lives now. Blaming others, whether our parents, partners, colleagues, or past circumstances, can feel justified. And of course, our experiences have shaped us... Our childhood, relations...

Joy as Our Natural State

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/03/07

In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the subtle but powerful difference between being in joy and enjoying something. Enjoyment is often connected to outer experiences - a beautiful day, a delicious meal, a moment of success, time with people we love. These moments are wonderful, but they are naturally temporary. Joy, however, is something different. Joy is not dependent on circumstances. It is a deeper inner state of ease that arises when we are no longer in conflict with o...

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/02/28

In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the nature of relationship, and what occurs in “the space between” us and the other. There is always a space between two people. An invisible field made up of tone, attention, intention, nervous system energy, and unspoken emotion, and whether we are relating to a partner, a friend, a colleague, a child, or a stranger, we are always contributing something to that space. We are the common denominator in all of our relationships. Thi...

Time, Spirit, and Story: The Inner World of Sashi Radley

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/02/21

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I’m joined by writer and spiritual mentor Sashi Radley, for a conversation that weaves together creativity, presence, love, loss, and the mystery of life itself. Sashi shares how writing is not simply a craft for her, but a profound space of being. It is a place where the mind stills, time expands, and something deeper moves through her. We explore her latest novel, Secret and Re Birth, Book 2 in The Ancient Power series. The book is a captivati...

Being with Uncertainty

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/02/14

In this solo episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the practice of being with uncertainty, and the truth that the only thing we are ever certain of is that nothing is certain! As human beings, we go to great lengths to construct safety. We build structures around money, work, relationships, identity, and even our spiritual beliefs. We tell ourselves that if we arrange life carefully enough, we will be protected from change. But everything changes. This episode is not about aba...

Stillness Is Freedom: Calming the Restless Mind

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/02/07

Most of our suffering is not caused by life itself, but by the restless mind reacting to life. In this episode, I explore what it truly means to still the mind not by suppressing it, but by gently training it so that we are the master of our mind! There is a saying that it makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master! We look at: Why the mind becomes addictive, doubtful, critical or negativeThe subtle ways we seek relief from discomfortHow inner restlessness fuels reactivityThe difference ...

The Wisdom of Pain: Trauma, Healing and Integration

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/31

Not Getting Stuck in Pain | Healing Trauma & Living More Fully Pain is an inevitable part of being human, but suffering arises when pain isn’t met, processed, or allowed to move. In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore how trauma and unprocessed pain can keep us stuck in survival patterns, and how healing becomes possible through awareness, presence, and compassionate self-listening. Rather than bypassing pain or rushing “healing,” this conversation gently examines: The ma...

Meeting Death Without Fear

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/24

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I reflect on death, not as something to fear, but as one of life’s greatest teachers. From early childhood moments to spiritual traditions, lived experience, and sitting with people at the end of their lives, this episode explores how learning to die allows us to live more fully, consciously, and lovingly. We look at why the fear of death arises, how identification with the body and mind creates suffering, and how practices such as presence, meditatio...

Simple Practices to Raise and Sustain Your Vibration

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/17

In this episode, I explore what it really means to raise our vibration, not through forcing positivity, but through awareness, clearing, and presence. We are energetic beings, and our thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences all shape our vibration. Many of the feelings that lower our energy, arise from early experiences and repeated psychological loops that play out again and again in our lives. In this episode, I share how becoming aware of these patterns, and learning to pause, brea...

Meeting Life Without Resistance

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/10

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I explore the practice of non-resistance -what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can transform the way we meet life. Non-resistance does not mean passivity or giving up. It doesn’t mean we stop stretching, growing, or acting. Instead, it simply suggests that we meet life as it is, without forcing, imposing, or resisting our experience. Drawing on lived experience, Taoist wisdom such as wu wei, and simple embodied metaphors, this episode explores how re...

The Practice of Being: Reflecting on 2025, Entering 2026

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/03

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I explore reflecting on the year that has passed and how we can step into the year ahead from a place of presence rather than striving. Together, we look back on 2025 from a place of self awareness, reflecting on our relationships, work, dreams, and inner life. This is not about judgement or regret, but about taking responsibility with kindness: acknowledging where we showed up well, where we may have acted differently, and what the year h...

2025/12/27

In this episode, I’m joined by Anadi Taylor for a reflective conversation about the tendency to 'try too hard' and the often unseen cost of living in constant effort. We explore what “trying too hard” really means, why so many people fall into this pattern, and how the short-term rewards of approval, achievement, and control can quietly lead to exhaustion, burnout, and disconnection from ourselves. Together, we look at how early conditioning, parental expectations, and social and peer pressur...

Unconditional Love: A Daily Practice of Letting Go

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2025/12/20

In this solo episode, I explore unconditional love as a living, breathing practice, one that asks us to recognise the divinity within ourselves and in everyone we meet. Unconditional love is not a destination, but a journey of gently clearing the layers that obscure our true nature: identification with thoughts, emotions, opinions, judgements, control, and the need for others or life to be different. Through conscious presence and compassion, we begin to meet life exactly as it is, with...

Permission to Be Yourself!

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2025/12/13

In this episode, Julia explores one of the most liberating truths we often forget: you are allowed to choose the life you want! She looks at why so many of us wait for permission, from society, from family expectations, from old conditioning, or from outdated versions of ourselves. She talks about how unconscious “shoulds” shape our choices, how inherited scripts limit our expression, and how fear of failure and success, keeps us playing small. Julia prompts you to recognise the beliefs...
