Bodhisattva Conversations is an exploration of the practise of being. How we live, relate, and move through life with greater presence, awareness, and freedom.
Through reflection, Julia Chi explores what it means to create a deeper connection with ourselves and with everyday experience, revealing how inner clarity and presence lead to greater ease, joy, and aliveness.
This podcast is about experiencing who we truly are, moment by moment, and discovering how life unfolds more freely when we live from awareness rather than habit.

Beyond the Finish Line: Jamie Vidler on His 250k Ultra Challenge
The Description
In this inspiring follow-up conversation, I speak once again with ultra-runner Jamie Vidler, fresh from completing his extraordinary 250k ultra challenge across the Pembrokeshire coastal paths.
Over five days of mainly relentless mud, wind, and rain - with just one sunny day to start - Jamie not only faced the brutal physical demands of the terrain but also confronted the internal challenges that long-distance endurance brings.
Running this ultra wasn’t just about distance, it was about raising awareness and funds for Big Moose, a charity dedicated to providing free therapy for those who need it but cannot afford it.
Alongside his full-time corporate job in retail and his ongoing training as a breathwork coach, Jamie found the time and commitment to prepare for this immense challenge.
In our conversation, he shares the lessons of resilience, the deep inner awareness that emerged, and the reflections that only an experience of this intensity can bring.
This is a story of endurance, growth, and the power of pushing beyond what we think is possible, both in body and in mind.
