The Chi Time Podcast

Life on the move; navigating perimenopause, grief, new love, found community, and the quiet art of REST. Clara in the UK and Emily in Australia reunite for an honest, wide-ranging conversation. Recorded just after the Beltane full moon, this episode is part life update, part wisdom, part permission slip to slow down.

This episode covers a lot of ground: the big astrological shifts rattling through the collective right now; Clara settling into a new home with her partner Rob - and the grief, love, and possibility tangled up in that.

Emily's return to a much-loved house sit in Australia, her recent business trip to Singapore, and the new chapter she is navigating with a perimenopause diagnosis.

Together they talk about what it means to FILL YOUR OWN CUP before you can show up for others - and why menopause, loss, and upheaval have a way of making that non-negotiable.

They also explore the power of saying a calm, kind NO; the multi-generational support that holds families and communities together; the magic of watching a full moon rise over water; and why nature - whether that's dappled woodland near Glastonbury or seven minutes' walk to the sea - is always the best place to start.

Plus: intentional communities, a Romania adventure, World Tai Chi Qigong Day, the Queen archetype, and why food made with passion is its own form of nourishment.

 Burnout to Breakthrough. Jenna Presley from 'Voices of Elevate" asks Clara where she has been, as a podcast Queen!

Clara shares how REST has enabled her to recuperate from years of living alone, running a business, hosting an award winning podcast show and choosing to use her skills to self care. Over two decade of study and practicing the Healing Arts, she has developed her own unique approach of releasing and restoring personal energy, blending Qigong, Akashic Record Clearing, intuitive movement and dance to encourage others to move out of burnout and into a state of sustained creativity, vitality and flow.

What begins as a discussion about Clara’s recent life and relationship transformation and evolving work, soon unfolds into a rich, honest exploration of both her and Jenna’s personal journeys. Together, they reflect on the life experiences using Qi and other wisdom, the lessons learned along the way, and the importance of reconnecting with our inner energy and purpose.

The conversation also opens into a refreshing and empowering perspective on menopause, reframing it not as an ending, but as a powerful transition into deeper alignment, self-awareness, self acceptance and a joyful reclaiming of the every changing flow of life.

With a shared sense that time is running out for humanity to collectively shift into a more sustainable way of existing, Jenna and Clara explore what it means to truly “ramp up” our healing modalities and abilities, step into greater self-trust to fully embrace and express the powerful missions we each carry to assist with the positive transformation of our beautiful world.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your energy, honour your cycles and move forward with trusted intention, creativity and energising flow.

Because home is more than four walls - it’s how you choose to live. 

Join Clara Apollo in the UK and Emily Boyd in Australia as they explore what it really means to live 'HomeFree' beyond fixed addresses, across cultures and life stages. In this first episode, they share stories of friendship, synchronicity, peri/menopause, and the joys and challenges of a nomadic lifestyle. A warm and honest invitation to reimagine what “home” can be.

In this very first episode of The HomeFree Life, Clara and Emily  introduce the heart of their new podcast: exploring what it really means to live freely, untethered from a fixed address.

They reflect on how their friendship began a decade ago across continents, and how their shared experiences of 'home-freeing' have shaped the way they see freedom, belonging and home.

Clara and Emily also weave in the midlife lens of peri/menopause and how this life stage has acted as a catalyst for reimagining home and freedom. They share the joys and challenges of a nomadic lifestyle - from the sacred sense of calling that sparks big life changes, to the practical need for community, rest and even their own kitchen cupboard!

Expect warmth, honesty, and humour as they set the scene for future episodes that will explore everything from self-care on the road to house-sitting protocols, finding community, and the soulful side of living home free.

Join Clara and Emily as they hum their way out of this first conversation, inventing their own theme tune and inviting you to carry their voices with you on your own adventures.

He encourages us to engage in our personal practices and reminds us that self-care is not just about our individual well-being but also about contributing positively to our communities and planet.

Re: the Year of the Snake. Ken shares insights from Chinese astrology, explaining how this year embodies the energy of transformation and revolution. He draws parallels between the shedding of a snake's skin and the need for personal and societal renewal.

 The discussion also touches on the importance of maintaining joy and clarity during times of change, encouraging us to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing injustices in the world.

Throughout the episode, Ken's passion for teaching and his deep respect for the traditions of qigong shine through, and he invites us to join him in the upcoming workshops, promising a rich, experiential learning environment where participants can deepen their practice and connect with others.

Explore the Earth element, a symbol of nourishment and stillness with Clara Apollo and Sarah Chave in a new episode of "When Sarah Met Clara."

Managing the transition from summer to autumn we recognize the role of the Earth Element in nurturing us physically, emotionally, and spiritually, through Qi-full practices like grounding, slowing down, and receiving.

The Earth element's association with nourishment also touches on its connection to organs like the spleen and stomach, symbolizing digestion and the process of turning worry into balance.

The conversation highlights how we can alchemize emotions like worry into deep care for ourselves, fostering a greater sense of worthiness and nourishment.

They also discuss the powerful, nurturing energy of Mother Earth, encouraging a simple practice of connecting with her through gratitude and grounding, allowing her to replenish and support us.
