  • How to Be Selfish: A Guide for People Pleasers and Boundary Setting

    FULL RETREAT DETAILS HERE If what Suzy shares resonates, she’ll be running a two-hour self-advocacy workshop at my Spring Retreat at Wilderness Reserve, Suffolk from 6-9 March 2026. Susie’s session alone will be genuinely life-changing - especially if you’re ready to stop people-pleasing and start living in a way that includes you too.


    Suzy Reading returns to the podcast to unpack her new book How to Be Selfish - a powerful reframe of selfishness as self-advocacy, self-trust and learning to live like you matter too.


    This conversation is for the women who:


    • feel selfish for resting
    • struggle to say no
    • automatically apologise (even when they’ve done nothing wrong)
    • find it hard to receive support, compliments or kindness
    • look successful on the outside, but feel stretched and dysregulated underneath



    Key themes we cover


    • Why “selfish” isn’t the real problem - shame and guilt are
    • How women are conditioned to be the good girl (pleasant, compliant, endlessly available)
    • The “pandemic of not enoughness” - and why it’s not a personal failing
    • How modern culture twists resilience into hyper-independence
    • Why learning to receive is essential for healthy relationships (not a burden)
    • How to advocate for yourself without becoming cold or uncaring
    • Why confidence isn’t just mindset - it’s head, heart and body


    Suzy’s 7 steps to self-advocacy (from the book)


    1. Reclaim your mind - unpick limiting beliefs and shift from thoughts to self-talk
    2. Reclaim your senses - take back control of attention and reduce overwhelm
    3. Reclaim your body - regulate the nervous system so it feels safe to speak up
    4. Reclaim your right to feel - emotions aren’t “negative”, they’re information
    5. Reclaim your moral compass - clarify values and what actually matters to you
    6. Boundaries with self - sleep, habits, energy, and keeping promises to yourself
    7. Advocate with others - communicate needs clearly and receive support


    Tools you can try today (simple, but powerful)


    • Hand on heart + sip of tea/water
    • Ask: Where am I at? What do I need?
    • Then do one small thing to meet that need.
    • Somatic holds (circuit breakers for stress):
    • hold one thumb
    • hold your own hand
    • give yourself a hug
    • the “face hug” - warm your hands, cradle your chin, breathe
    • Posture reset for confidence
    • When we’re collapsed forward, it’s harder to say no.
    • Try shoulder rolls or “V to W” arms while breathing.


    A gentle reminder

    You don’t need to wait until you feel worthy to take care of yourself.

    The feeling of worth often comes from the nourishing action.

  • Stop Trying to Fix Hormonal Imbalance and Do This Instead
    In this powerful and deeply reassuring episode, I am joined by BANT-registered nutritionist and hormone expert Hannah Alderson, author of Everything I Know About Hormones.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, hormonal, confused by conflicting advice, or blamed your body for not behaving “properly” – this conversation is for you.

    We gently dismantle the idea that hormones are something to “fix” or fight. Instead, we explore a far more compassionate – and science-backed – approach:


    Your hormones aren’t broken. They’re responding to the environment they’re living in.


    In This Episode, You’ll Learn:



    Why Hormones Are Not the Enemy

    Being “hormonal” has become an insult – but in reality, hormones are your greatest allies. Hannah explains why symptoms often arise not because hormones are faulty, but because modern life makes it incredibly hard for them to do their job.



    The “VIP Hormones” You Actually Need to Understand

    With over 50 hormones in the body, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Hannah simplifies things by focusing on the key players that influence most symptoms, including:

    • Cortisol (stress and energy)
    • Insulin (blood sugar and fat storage)
    • Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone
    • Thyroid hormones
    • Melatonin and serotonin

    You don’t need to know everything – just the right things.



    Why “Balancing Hormones” Is the Wrong Goal

    Hormones don’t want to be balanced – they want to move. They work in rhythms, cycles and relationships. Hannah explains why the idea of hormone “balance” is misleading, and what to focus on instead.




    Cortisol, Burnout and Why You Wake Up Exhausted

    If you’re tired-but-wired, struggle to get out of bed, rely on coffee, or feel flat and unmotivated, cortisol may be running the show. Hannah breaks down:

    • The cortisol awakening response
    • Why skipping breakfast can worsen stress in women
    • How chronic stress disrupts sleep, weight, mood and hormones
    Breakfast, Blood Sugar and Energy (Without Perfection)

    This episode offers some of the most practical, doable advice you’ll hear:

    • Why breakfast matters for women’s hormones
    • How to eat within 90 minutes of waking without overwhelm
    • Simple, realistic options like smoothies or eggs
    • Why it’s not about calories, fasting trends, or willpower

    Insulin Resistance – The Hormone Link No One Explains Clearly

    Hannah explains insulin resistance in a way that finally makes sense – and why it affects:

    • Fat storage (especially around the middle)
    • Energy levels and brain fog
    • PCOS, perimenopause and menopause symptoms
    • Hormone transport in the body

    And most importantly – how small changes can reverse it.


    The Role of Stress, Sleep and the Nervous System

    This conversation goes far beyond food. You’ll hear why:

    • Stress is not a personal failure
    • The nervous system needs safety, not pressure
    • Light exposure, phones, routines and boundaries matter
    • Oxytocin (connection, laughter, love) is cortisol’s kryptonite

    Why Consistency Beats Perfection

    Hannah shares why wellness plans fail when they’re too rigid, and how:

    • Tiny, repeatable habits change the brain
    • Self-discipline eventually creates motivation
    • You don’t need to “start again on Monday”
    • Feeling good becomes the reward

    A Key Takeaway From This Episode“The biggest job isn’t fixing your hormones – it’s creating an environment where they can thrive.”

    This episode is a permission slip to:

    • Stop blaming your body
    • Stop chasing extremes
    • Start listening, responding, and supporting yourself gently

  • Dr. Sam Watts: Why Everyone Has the Potential to Heal from Cancer

    If you want practical steps, real hope, and a calm, empowering perspective on cancer prevention and living with cancer, this episode is for you.


    FOR A FREE MORNING ROUTINE LIKE THE ONE MENTIONED BY DR SAM WATTS IN THE INTERVIEW CLICK HERE


    In Part 2 of my interview with Dr Sam Watts, we go deeper into his book The Ayurvedic Approach to Cancer and the research behind “exceptional cancer patients” (ECAPs) - people who outlive terminal prognoses and challenge what we think is possible.


    We talk about potentiality - Dr Sam’s belief that while outcomes vary, everyone has the potential to survive, because we can clearly see that long-term survival happens across many cancer types. We explore why hope and meaning/purpose (dharma) show up again and again in exceptional survivorship and how mindset isn’t about pretending everything is fine - it’s about learning skills that help you respond in an adaptive way, even when things feel terrifying.


    Dr Sam also explains the concept of immune surveillance - the idea that fully malignant cells may arise in the body more often than we realise, and the immune system routinely clears them. From circadian alignment and movement to nutrition, herbs, hobbies, and relationships, this episode is packed with grounded tools that support the body’s healing environment - what Dr Sam calls the body’s “internal soup”.


    Key Takeaways
    • Everyone has the potential to survive - because we have clear examples of people who outlive terminal prognoses across many cancers.
    • Hope and meaning/purpose consistently show up in exceptional survivorship.
    • Mindset is not denial and it’s not blame - it’s learning skills that support an empowered inner response.
    • The body may be clearing malignant cells more often than we realise - understanding this can be deeply empowering.
    • Supporting the “internal soup” (sleep/circadian rhythm, inflammation, blood sugar, immunity, stress) can change the terrain cancer relies on.
    • Lifestyle factors aren’t “soft” - relationships, work satisfaction, and joy/hobbies can have measurable effects on health.

  • The Profound Healing Power of Ayurveda - Dr Sam Watts Reveals the Truth

    Can ancient wisdom support modern recovery? Dr. Sam Watts is a highly respected clinical practitioner of Ayurveda and holds a PhD in Cancer Survivorship. In this deeply insightful episode, he breaks down the fundamentals of Ayurveda, what it really is and how it serves as one of the most robust health systems for creating balance and preventing disease..


    In this deeply grounding and empowering conversation, Dr Sam demystifies what Ayurveda really is – and why it may be one of the most robust, proven health systems for creating balance and preventing disease.

    Rather than being complicated or restrictive, Dr Sam explains that Ayurveda is fundamentally simple, intuitive, and deeply individualised. At its core, it offers each of us a personal health manual – helping the body return to homeostasis and function as it was designed to.


    We explore why many modern health trends fail, how Ayurveda differs from “one-size-fits-all” wellness advice and how small, sustainable changes can profoundly impact long-term health.


    This episode is especially powerful if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by health advice, confused by conflicting recommendations, or disconnected from your body’s signals.



    In this episode, we cover:


    • Why Ayurveda is simple by design – and how it’s been over-complicated in the West
    • How Ayurveda works as a complete, preventative health system, not a diet or quick fix
    • The concept of individualisation – why what’s “healthy” depends on you
    • Understanding the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) as your personal blueprint
    • Why symptoms like anxiety, inflammation, fatigue, or weight gain need different approaches in different people
    • The difference between prakriti (your natural state of balance) and vikriti (imbalance)
    • How daily stress quietly accumulates – and how Ayurveda helps you “wipe the dust away”
    • Why empowerment, autonomy, and self-awareness are central to true health
    • The importance of circadian rhythm, morning routines, and natural light
    • How simple practices like walking outside, self-massage, oil pulling, and breathwork support whole-body health
    • Why popular trends like fasting or cold exposure work for some people – and not for others
    • How Ayurveda aligns with modern science around homeostasis, nervous system regulation, and disease prevention

    Key takeaway:

    Ayurveda isn’t about being perfect or doing everything.

    It’s about understanding your body, making small aligned choices, and creating the conditions for health to emerge naturally.

    As Dr Sam shares, when you know what your body needs, health becomes something you actively participate in – not something that happens to you.

  • Change Your Morning, Change Your Life

    Change your morning, change your life - DOWNLOAD FOR FREE HERE


    Today’s episode of Cancer Cured Me is live on New Year's Eve 2025, but I’m not doing a year in review. I’m not recapping achievements, milestones or lessons learned.

    Instead, I’m giving you a gift.


    A gift that you can use on New Year’s Eve… or in February… or in the middle of a random Tuesday when you suddenly realise you’re tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. This gift is about one thing:


    Building rock-solid self-belief, gently, consistently and in a way your nervous system can actually trust.


    Because here’s what I know to be true from my own healing journey.

    Self-belief isn’t something you think your way into.

    It’s something you train your system into.

    Most of what runs our lives sits in the subconscious. Old stories. Old habits. Old emotional wiring from childhood, relationships, school, work or moments when we learned (often unconsciously) that we weren’t safe, capable or enough.

    And no amount of willpower or affirmations alone can override that.

    What does change it… is showing your system, again and again, that:


    You do what you say you’ll do.

    You show up for yourself.

    You create safety, calm, and consistency inside your body.


    That’s why I’ve created something simple, practical, and genuinely doable, a tiny morning practice that takes minutes, not hours, and builds the foundation for real, embodied self-belief.

    Not a rigid routine.

    Not a 5am bootcamp for your soul.

    Not another thing to fail at.


    Just small, intentional practices that:

    • Calm your nervous system
    • Set the emotional tone of your day
    • Create internal safety instead of fight-or-flight
    • Rewire your identity into someone who trusts and believes in themselves


    And over time, that changes everything.

    Because you deserve to live with a regulated nervous system.

    You deserve to trust yourself.

    You deserve to believe that change is possible for you not someday, not for other people, but for you.

  • Merry Christmas and Love from Cancer Cured Me

    In this episode 


    1. Why getting outside and grounding your body can instantly regulate your nervous system
    2. How to enjoy festive food and drink without guilt or dysregulation
    3. Simple ways to balance blood sugar during indulgent seasons (and why it matters more in midlife)
    4. A powerful visualisation technique to protect your energy around difficult people
    5. Why Christmas can bring up grief and how to honour it without losing the joy


    In this special Christmas Eve episode of Cancer Cured Me, I invite you all to have a moment to pause, reflect and I really want to say thank you. This is a gentle, grounding solo episode designed to support you through the festive season whether Christmas feels joyful, overwhelming, emotional or quietly reflective this year.


    I revisit some of the most powerful tools shared throughout December, drawing on expert insights around nervous system regulation, hormone health, nutrition and self-advocacy from Suzy Reading, Hannah Alderson and Georgie Shears while also offering my own lived wisdom on slowing down, regulating your body and protecting your energy during a busy and emotionally charged time of year.


    This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about perfection it’s about presence.


    Thank you for your incredible support in this first year of the podcast - I am so very grateful to all of you.


    Merry Christmas and a very peaceful new year x






    A Gentle Reminder

    This episode honours that Christmas can be many things at once, joyful, tender, nostalgic, lonely, or all of the above. You’re invited to let this season look exactly how it needs to look for you.


    Whether that means celebration, solitude, movement, rest, prayer, laughter or tears it’s all valid.

  • A Simple Tool to Reset Your Nervous System This Christmas

    If the festive season feels busy, intense, or a little overwhelming, this short final episode in our Calm Christmas mini-series, is a gift to your nervous system.


    In this guided mini practice, Alex is joined again by nervous system strategist Georgie Shears, who shares one of her most accessible and powerful regulation tools a simple ear massage technique known as “thinking caps”.


    This is a practice you can do anywhere, anytime at your desk, in the car, between meetings, or in the middle of Christmas chaos. And the magic? You’ll feel the shift in real time.

    In just a few minutes, Georgie gently guides you through:

    • How to check your baseline nervous system state
    • Why busy periods naturally push us into fight or flight
    • How stimulating the vagus nerve sends immediate signals of safety to the body
    • Why small shifts — even 1% — matter deeply for long-term change


    This practice helps your body move out of survival mode and back toward regulation, allowing you to enjoy the season rather than just get through it.


    ✨ You don’t need to fix yourself.

    ✨ Your body already knows how to settle.

    ✨ Sometimes it just needs a gentle cue of safety.

  • How to Avoid Holiday Hangovers and Hormone Chaos with Nutritionist Hannah Alderson

    This week I’m joined for the second in our Calm Christmas mini series by nutritionist and hormone expert Hannah Alderson. We’re talking about one thing many of us feel at this time of year, the impact of festive food, alcohol and late nights on our hormones and energy.


    If you’re feeling stretched, stressed, tired, hungover or just a bit overdone by the sparkly social calendar, you are not alone. This episode is packed with simple hormone-friendly Christmas tips that don’t involve restriction, guilt or saying no to the fun bits. No perfection, no “clean eating”, no punishing yourself for loving a Lindor ball. Just gentle support for your body when life gets busy.



    In this episode with Hannah Alderson, we explore:
    • Why Christmas chaos can send our hormones and nervous system into meltdown
    • How alcohol affects hormone detoxification (and how to soften the blow)
    • Simple ways to support the liver without giving up cocktails, champagne or dessert
    • Why B vitamins and electrolytes might be your secret festive helpers
    • The power of fibre and cruciferous veg for hormone balance
    • How to avoid sugar spikes – while still enjoying the good stuff
    • What to eat before going out so you don’t wake up regretting everything
    • Why guilt and shame are worse for hormones than mince pies

    Key Takeaways:
    • Christmas technically lasts 2 to 3 days… not 6 weeks. We don’t need to be “on a health kick” the whole time.
    • Look after your liver on your quieter days, especially if you’re drinking or sleeping less.
    • Enjoy your nights out guilt-free – connection boosts oxytocin and wellbeing.
    • Eat before you drink and add cruciferous veg (like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli) and flax seeds into your week.
    • Hydrate like your hormones depend on it… because they do.
    • If you’re eating the chocolates, have them after a meal, not on an empty stomach.
    • Skip the shame: stress and cortisol do far more damage than dessert ever could.

    Foods & Supplements Mentioned:

    (Always check what’s right for you, especially if you’re on medication.)

    • Cruciferous veg: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage
    • Flax seeds
    • Milk thistle (tincture or supplement)
    • B Vitamin complex (in the morning, after food)
    • Electrolytes (higher quality options, not just the fizzy high-street ones)


    The Big Message

    Enjoy the party. Eat the meal. Dance in your sparkly shoes.

    Look after your liver on the quieter days, stay hydrated, and skip the guilt.

    Joy, laughter and connection are some of the best medicines we’ve got.

  • 7 Simple Ways to Protect and Improve Your Mental Health This Winter with Suzy Reading

    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.
