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.

I’m flying solo while my editor is off on holiday, and I’m sharing something magical that happened this week: I met Mel Robbins. Yes, the Mel Robbins! But more than just a fangirl moment, this episode is a real-time reflection on how manifestation, intention setting, breathwork and showing up even when it’s messy have shaped this year already.
Back in January, I was deep in the darkness of British winter, preparing to launch this podcast. With help from a few key practices – like the Year of Miracles with Marci Shimoff and daily breathwork with Stuart Sandeman on the Breathpod app – I created a new kind of routine… and honestly, it’s changed everything.
In this episode, I share:
- The exact steps I took in January to set powerful intentions for 2025
- How I used visualisation and breathwork to supercharge my podcast launch
- The story behind buying a VIP ticket to meet Mel Robbins
- Why meeting her felt like a full-circle moment
- The science-meets-soul reason I believe this stuff actually works
This isn’t just about Mel Robbins – it’s about proving to yourself that your dreams, however big or small, are possible. I hope this reminds you that anything is possible.
