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.

In today’s episode…
I discuss the importance of self-belief in the process of healing and manifestation. Beliefs, often formed in early childhood, can hinder our ability to manifest our desires. Practices such as breathwork, EFT (emotional freedom technique or tapping), sound healing and many others can help shift negative beliefs and energy, and in the process allowing your manifestation to come to life.
I share all the information on my upcoming retreat at Wilderness Reserve, encouraging you, my lovely listeners to take time for yourselves, explore personal growth and clear limiting beliefs so you can create the life of your dreams.
Takeaways
- Self-belief is crucial for manifestation to work.
- Core beliefs often stem from childhood experiences.
- Breath work can help release stored emotions.
- Money is energy that needs to flow.
- Your thoughts and energy shape your reality.
- Crying can be a healthy emotional release.
- Aligned action is necessary for manifestation.
- Taking time for self-care is essential.
- The retreat offers a chance to escape and rejuvenate.
- Practices like mindful walks can shift energy.
- “Manifestation isn’t that complicated.”
- “Your thoughts create your reality.”
- “You have to take aligned action.”
Topics: healing, manifestation, self-belief, energy shifting, retreat, personal growth, subconscious programming, breathwork, emotional freedom technique, abundance
