The Power of Meditation, Visualisation and Living Unscripted

In this empowering and fascinating talk with TEDx speaker, author, trainer and transformation coach, Sheila Eggert – we explore what it really means to heal, receive and step into a life of intention.

Sheila shares her powerful journey through breast cancer, revealing how the true healing began before the diagnosis. Sheila shares her powerful and amazing manifestations that came from trusting her deep intuition. From the grounding practice of meditation to the transformative process of self-discovery and reparenting, this conversation is rich with wisdom and gentle reminders that we are not meant to walk this path alone.

Together we talk about:

• Why healing is more than just physical recovery
• The role of meditation as a lifeline through emotional storms
• How self-awareness can shift everything
• The underrated power of learning to receive support
• Reparenting ourselves with compassion and grace
• What it means to live an "unscripted" life – and why that’s where the magic begins
• The science and spirit behind manifestation and visualisation
• Choosing your response, even when life throws its hardest challenges
• Practical tools to start creating a more aligned, purposeful reality

Whether you're in the midst of a healing journey, navigating change, or simply curious about living more intentionally – this episode is a grounding and empowering listen.

In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of the nervous system, explaining its fundamental role in regulating our responses to stress and safety. The discussion covers the central and peripheral nervous systems, the importance of the vagus nerve, and the various states of the nervous system, including fight or flight, freeze, and rest and digest. We emphasise the significance of understanding these states and offer practical tools for self-regulation, such as breathwork, movement and connection with others. The episode aims to empower listeners to recognise their nervous system's responses and implement daily practices for better emotional and physical well-being.

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 Mel Robbins 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.

💃🏽 ENCORE EPISODE 💃🏽 - Celebrating the most downloaded interview with Bella Chater! AND - BIG NEWS! Bella will be one of our guest teachers running a beautiful Spring Equinox workshop at our Wilderness Reserve Retreat - March 6-9th 2026. To receive all the details when we launch in September, click the link below.

In this episode, La is talking with the incredible Bella Chater - an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner specialising in emotional resilience, subconscious reprogramming and somatic healing. With over a decade of experience using EFT, she helps individuals release emotional blocks, rewire limiting beliefs, and regulate their nervous system to create deep and lasting transformation

Her approach is holistic yet practical with a goal to help clients process emotional stress, reduce anxiety, and rewrite subconscious patterns at the root. Unlike traditional methods that focus on symptom management, Bella works on a somatic level, creating change not just on a mindset level but at a physiological and subconscious level. This means real shifts in how you think, feel, and automatically respond to stress, anxiety, and emotional triggers—helping you step into greater clarity, confidence, and resilience in both your personal and professional life.

How It Works:

EFT (Tapping) has been scientifically shown to reduce cortisol—the body’s main stress hormone—by up to 43% in just one session. Matrix Reimprinting goes even deeper, helping to rewire subconscious childhood imprints and replace outdated emotional patterns with empowering new ones. This approach is particularly effective for inner child healing, self-sabotage, and deeply ingrained limiting beliefs.

EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR THE CANCER CURED ME PODCAST LISTENERS 🎧

✅ Download Bella’s EFT Tapping Guidebook – A step-by-step PDF to start using EFT today.

✅ 20% Off All Packages and Sessions – Work 1:1 with Bella online or in person for a personalised transformation journey.

✅ Experience EFT with complete confidence—Bella offers a full refund if you don’t feel a shift.

Let’s rewire your subconscious and process emotions effectively to create lasting change!

Resilience and Redemption: Rachel’s Incredible Story of Overcoming Trauma

What does it take to rise from the ashes of trauma and reclaim your life?

In this episode, I speak with the incredible Rachel Elimelech - a woman whose story has never been shared publicly… until now.

✨ A young single mum - twice over

✨ A woman who put herself through university to become a qualified solicitor

✨ A mother who trusted her gut, uncovered the unimaginable, and fought for justice

✨ A survivor of life-shattering pain who refused to stay silent any longer

For 18 years, Rachel carried the weight of unspoken emotions. Now, she’s telling her truth - not for sympathy, but to give hope to anyone who has felt broken, silenced, or stuck in survival mode.

Her story is raw, powerful, and proof that even in the darkest moments, we can rise.

🕊️ This one’s for the mothers, the fighters, the survivors - and anyone who needs to believe that healing is possible.

In this juicy, heartfelt bonus episode of Cancer Cured Me, I'm pulling back the curtain to share some powerful and personal outtakes from my full interview with the amazing Cathy Heller. These were the raw, beautiful moments we had to cut for time - but they’re too special not to share.

✨ In This Episode:

You'll hear us dive into deep topics like:

• The emotional magic of parenting with love and honesty
• How our kids are our greatest teachers (and sometimes our funniest mirrors)
• A behind-the-scenes peek at my 14-year-old son’s inspiring entrepreneurial journey
• Our mutual obsession with Human Design and how understanding your type manifestor, generator, manifesting generator, reflector or projector can transform your life
• Cathy's beautiful reflections on courage, motherhood, and showing up for life as your full self

We also chat about how the universe moves fast when you're in alignment — and how I manifested Cathy on the podcast through a single voice note (spoiler: it worked 😅).

What Is Human Design?

Curious about Human Design? I’m linking a free tool above so you can find your type and start discovering how you're uniquely wired to thrive. Whether you're a Manifesting Generator like me or a Reflector like my daughter (only 1% of the world!), it’s a game changer for self-discovery.

Listen if you’re into:

• Personal growth and energy alignment
• Conscious parenting and raising self-aware kids
• Living authentically and letting go of what doesn’t serve you
• Getting inspired by real-life stories of healing, self-trust,and transformation

🎧 Catch Up on Cathy’s Full Interview:

Don’t miss the full conversation with Cathy Heller where we talk abundance, alignment and creating from joy. It’s a must-listen!

IF YOU LOVE CATHY HELLER'S ENERGY IN THIS EPISODE SHE IS NOW OFFERING THE MOST INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN HER 'DONE' PROGRAMME

ESSENTIALLY, IT'S MANIFESTATION ALREADY DONE! SHE SAYS:

Manifestation isn’t about wanting.

It’s about completion.

Things don’t come together when you think about them enough.

They come together when you decide who you are and move from there.

Not the version of you that’s visualizing.

Not the version that’s journaling.

The version that’s done deciding.

DONE is manifestation that’s already finished.

CREATE YOUR MOST ABUNDANT LIFE EVER

Cathy is a renowned teacher, podcaster and author. She hosts one of the top spiritual podcasts, Abundant Ever After, which has been downloaded more than 50 million times. She’s a practitioner of the law of reception, and has a deep understanding of the universal principles of manifestation. Cathy guides individuals on a transformative journey towards unlocking their highest potential.

Cathy teaches us that living a life of abundance is about remembering and coming back to who you are. You don’t need to do more, you just need to live in flow.

It's not about the law of attraction that says you need to attract something that's over there that you don't have because that's coming from a place of lack.

You need to learn how to receive. - it's the law of reception.

This isn’t about working harder.

It’s about changing your frequency.

It’s about learning how to open your field, follow the breadcrumbs and dance with the divine timing of your life.

You’ve been taught to hustle. To prove. To earn it.

But the real abundance comes when you tune into the signal - and let it come to you.
