In this powerful episode, I sit down with Anadi James Taylor to explore the deep truth that all external conflict—whether in relationships, the workplace, or the world at large—mirrors inner unrest. Together, we unpack how early life patterns and subconscious programming shape our reactions and how unresolved inner wounds perpetuate cycles of conflict.

We delve into challenging territory, including the impact of abuse and the global scale of war, while continually returning to the empowering truth: true peace begins within. Anadi shares insights on the importance of personal responsibility, inner clearing work, and the role of support and guidance in our healing journeys.

If you’re seeking clarity, healing, and a way to contribute to peace—from the inside out—this episode is for you

In this episode, I speak with artist Athena Jane Churchill: www.athenajane.co.uk

Athena is currently engaged in three major creative projects, two in Devon: Our Freedom – ourfreedom.org.uk, and Barnstaple Public Art Consultation – barnstaple.co.uk

She has recently been commissioned to lead a new initiative in Bognor Regis.

In our conversation, Athena shares deeply personal insights into her artistic journey. 

She speaks candidly about how she navigates the uncertainty inherent in creative work and how she maintains presence and trust, even while balancing what often seems like an impossible schedule. 

With honesty and openness, she reflects on staying grounded and allowing the creative process to unfold organically.

 In this episode of Navigating Change, host Julia Chi and guest Anadi James dive deep into the world of change and uncertainty. 

They explore how the only true certainty in life is found in the stillness within, and discuss how this perspective has shaped their own journeys. 

Through personal stories and reflections, they share how embracing stillness helped them navigate some of their most challenging moments, offering listeners a roadmap to find peace amidst chaos. 

Tune in for insights on how to stay grounded when everything around you seems in flux. 

In this podcast, Julia and Anadi explore further the idea :
 'If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you' ...
They discuss whether in being outside our comfort zone, we can discover inner strengths and attain skills we didn't know we were capable of.

Julia and Anadi also investigate resilience and explore how this aspect can be developed to enable us to discover and enjoy new experiences, and suggest that without resilience we may never have 'follow through' and so gain the benefits the challenges, and being 'outside our comfort zone' might bring.

This is part 1 of a dialogue of exploration between Julia and Anadi about the idea that 'If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you...'

In this podcast Anadi and Julia explore the concepts of challenge and change, and whether we need to do either?

They discuss investigating our own personal paradigm - our own map of how we see the world - to discover what is right for us and whether our beliefs and ideas are truly our own.

They explore the idea of being out of our comfort zone and whether this is necessary for growth...

Next week, they will continue the conversation...

In this podcast Julia and Anadi engage in a dialogue of exploration about 'Relationship as a mirror'...

They talk about how the closer the relationship is the closer the mirror is for us to see ourselves reflected back - it can become a magnifying glass!

And often when what we see, we don't like, we 'project' the un wanted  or unknown or unseen aspects of ourself onto the other...

Anything that we do not know about ourselves is in the shadows; and anything that is hidden or lost or we deny in ourselves is in the shadow - 'stuff' in the shadows has the potential to hurt us - as it will keep appearing in our relating!

In the podcast Anadi and Julia explore this and also talk about how to discover, work with and so transform what is lying is in the shadows...

And - the person who wrote about the four questions was Byron Katie
Is it true?
Is it really true?
What would I be like without that thought?
What if I turned it around?

In this podcast, Julia talks about how all relationships exist in 'the space between' us,
and how we can make a difference to the quality of the relating by being mindful of what we put into that space...

What we say and do can heal or hurt the space, create harmony or conflict...

In this podcast Julia and Anadi explore intentional dialogue in more depth, and talk about how it is the bedrock of being present in  every moment in every interaction.

Through a commitment to take responsibility for ourselves and our reactivities, we can play our part in keeping 'the space between' - where all relating exists - safe and harmonious and expansive.

'To thine own self be true', but who is our true self, how do we know, and even if we do how do we live our lives true to ourselves, especially if it goes against family or societal expectations...

In this podcast, Anadi and Julia explore this, covering areas such as how much we are influenced by our conditioning that we may be living by default having lost the ability to hear our own true inner voice...

And how to begin to listen again...

In this podcast Julia and Anadi explore how to be aware of creating our lives consciously.

90 - 95% of all we do is coming from the subconscious mind... Julia and Anadi explore how the routines before sleep and upon waking help with clearing throughout the day and maintaining presence to create  from a place of stillness, free of unconscious patterns and programmes
