Cancer Cured Me
Cancer Cured Me
Podcast Description
This is NOT a podcast about cancer. It’s actually more of a celebration of life and a journey of happiness, a voyage built on a simple but powerful truth: That YOU hold ALL the cards to achieve your dreams and to live your very best life. A few years ago, I received my cancer diagnosis and it felt like my world had caved in. But my journey through treatment and recovery also forced me to recognise many uncomfortable truths about my life. I’d neglected myself. I’d pushed down trauma and worried about everything and everyone all the time. Getting ill made me realise I had to stop sweating the small stuff and make lasting changes for the better. Quite literally, cancer cured me from all that crap, and in its own strange way, proved to be the catalyst that’s led me to an infinitely happier life. I want to share positive, uplifting energy with you all, to help you unlock your potential and finally free the happiness that’s inside of you. You totally deserve it. I’ll be talking to amazing guests who’ll share their stories and knowledge on a myriad of subjects, ranging from nurturing our hormonal health, to self-care in winter; from heart-wrenching stories of being bullied for being poor to becoming a multi-millionaire, to self-healing from Multiple Sclerosis; from cyclical living and nervous system regulation, to overcoming binge eating disorders, lymphatic drainage and a thousand more subjects besides. Along the way, we’ll meet inspiring entrepreneurs, powerful healers, incredible wellness experts, psychologists, coaches and amazing ‘ordinary’ people like you and I, who’ve gone through stuff and come back stronger. I’ll be talking to them all and inspiring you to get out of your own way and live your best life. I’d be delighted if you’d join me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ENCORE EPISODE: 7 SIMPLE WAYS TO PROTECT AND IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH THIS WINTER
EXCITING NEWS: SUZY READING WILL BE ONE OF OUR WONDERFUL TEACHERS AT OUR NEXT LUXURY TRANSFORMATIONAL RETREAT AT WILDERNESS RESERVE, SUFFOLK @wildernessreserve FOR FULL INFORMATION AND TO BOOK CLICK HERE. JUST 6 ROOMS LEFT!
Do you want to know how to get through winter without it being so hard? Does your mental health suffer in winter? Do you suffer with SAD or just get those January blues and can’t wait for it to be summer again? Well, this is an episode that will solve all your winter problems.
In this conversation with Suzy Reading, we explore the importance of self-care during the winter months and how to embrace winter as a wonderful, nurturing season, not just a season to ‘get through’.
Talking around Suzy’s book, Self-Care for Winter, we discuss the concept of wintering through self-care, its significance for mental and emotional health, and introduce a framework of seven gentle steps to nurture oneself through the challenges of winter. The discussion emphasises the need for connection with nature and ‘awe hunting’, the importance of comforting rituals and community, as well as the value of reflection as a means to foster well-being during the colder, darker months. Suzy demonstrates some practical exercises that take just moments to do but will completely lift your day.
Suzy’s concept of ‘Gentle January’ is a balanced approach to post-holiday wellness that ensures you are looking after yourself during the winter months and investing in your future self whilst doing so.
