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.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast centers around themes of personal growth, health and wellness, and overcoming adversity. Specific episodes cover topics such as self-care strategies during winter, hormonal health and its impact on mental well-being, and inspirational personal transformations, like transitioning from trauma to empowerment or from corporate life to holistic coaching.
Cancer may be in the title, but this podcast is about so much more than cancer. It is about what happens when life wakes you up and you decide not to go back to sleep.
I’m Alex (La) Simms, and after an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis in 2017, I began questioning how I was living, what I was carrying and why I had spent so long putting myself last. Cancer became a catalyst, but the real story is everything that came next.
On Cancer Cured Me, I have honest, uplifting conversations about healing, nervous system regulation, natural health, manifestation, spirituality, emotional wellbeing, purpose and midlife reinvention. You’ll hear from leading experts, remarkable people who have transformed their lives after illness or adversity, and from me as I share what I am learning along the way.
This podcast is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in survival mode or simply knows there must be more to life. Expect practical tools, powerful stories, warmth, humour and new ways to feel safer in your body, trust yourself again and create a life with more energy, joy, freedom and meaning.
You shouldn’t have to wait for a diagnosis or a crisis to start living fully.

Here it is – our 100th episode! Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And some beautiful timing.
This milestone falls in the very week my guest Chloe Jane launches her non-toxic clothing brand, Cloco. I couldn’t have planned a more fitting conversation.
After five members of her family experienced cancer, Chloe became determined to understand more about prevention and what we can do to look after ourselves. That determination led her to establish Cloco Health, working as a cancer prevention specialist, and now to launch her own organic cotton underwear and activewear brand.
What makes me particularly hopeful is that Chloe is still in her twenties. It’s thrilling to see someone of her generation taking such an interest in health, asking questions and turning everything she’s learnt into a fabulous business with purpose.
We talk about cancer prevention, everyday environmental exposures and what we wear against our skin, alongside the passion and resilience it takes to bring an idea like this to life.
As someone who has experienced breast cancer, this conversation meant so much to me. I’m delighted to share it with you for episode 100.
