“Fix You in Real Life: Meeting Chris Martin & A Story of Healing”

What happens when music, manifestation and a little bit of magic all collide?

In this special episode, I share two unforgettable stories:

• My once-in-a-lifetime meeting with Chris Martin from Coldplay (yes, it really happened – twinkly blue eyes and all).
• The beautiful journey of my podcast launch competition winners, who received two tickets to see Coldplay live. After surviving an illness that nearly tore their young family apart, Fix You became their mantra – and their prize felt like it was written in the stars.
• 
  

This episode is a celebration of music, resilience, and the way life sometimes weaves things together in the most incredible ways. Whether you’re a lifelong Coldplay fan or simply someone who needs a reminder of hope, this story will melt your heart.

Come for the Chris Martin story, stay for the inspiration.

Small Daily Habits That Create Big Life Changes – Gentle Steps to Begin Your Transformation

When you know deep down that this isn’t it – that there’s more to life than the way you’re living now – it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. Change can seem huge, even impossible. But what if transformation didn’t have to be all-or-nothing?

In this fourth episode of my calming mini-series on nervous system tools, I share how lasting change often comes from small, consistent daily habits that gently signal safety to your body. These are the exact practices that helped me move from post-cancer overwhelm to living a life I truly love – running my own business, hosting transformational retreats, and feeling deeply connected to my purpose.

You’ll discover:

• Why transformation doesn’t have to mean starting over completely
• A simple sensory grounding technique proven to calm anxiety
• Easy ways to add mindfulness into your morning without extra time (including while brushing your teeth!)
• Gentle, healthy swaps to set you up for a balanced, energised day
• How just one small step each day can lead to profound change over time

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to do all the things – just start with one. That one small shift could be the first step towards a completely different life.

Tired All the Time? A Simple Breathwork Tool to Reset Your Energy and Improve Sleep

Do you wake up feeling exhausted – even after a full night’s sleep – or find yourself lying in bed at night unable to switch off? You’re not alone.

In this short and gentle episode of Cancer Cured of Me: Healing, Manifesting and Living Your Best Life, I share a simple, calming breathwork practice you can use to shift your body out of “always on” mode and into deep rest.

You’ll discover:

• Why your nervous system might still be in fight-or-flight mode even after 8 hours of sleep
• How evening habits like phone scrolling, bright lights and background noise can overstimulate your brain
• A short guided breathing exercise (just a few minutes long) to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and help you truly relax
• The reason breathing out for longer than you breathe in signals safety to your body
• A second optional breathwork variation you can use when you can’t fall asleep
• 
  

This is the second in a four-part mini-series giving you quick, easy nervous system regulation tools to use whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.

I’ve created something special to support you if anything I discuss in this episode feels familiar – it’s called: "Why You Feel Lost Even When Your Life Looks Good on the Outside"

It’s a gentle reflection guide with simple practices to help you feel more like you again.

(Jump to 6 minutes if you just want to join for the full guided practice with me)

healing, manifesting, self-discovery, midlife, anxiety, grounding practices, self-care, personal growth, emotional well-being, mindfulness

In this first of 4 shorter summer episodes, I’m sharing something that’s come up a lot in conversations and messages from many of you – that feeling of being a bit lost, disconnected or just done with the pace and pressure of life.

If you're a midlife woman, possibly in peri or post menopause , or you're noticing emotional ups and downs that seem to come from nowhere, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too – wondering “Is this it?”, and feeling like I’d lost sight of who I really am underneath the roles I’ve been playing for years.

This episode is all about making space for yourself, even if just for a few minutes. I guide you through a simple grounding practice that helps me when I’m feeling overwhelmed, reactive or just not quite in my body. It’s something you can do anywhere, and it doesn’t take long – but it can really shift how you feel and calm your nervous system.

Whether you're someone who struggles with anxiety, overstimulation, overwhelm, emotional eating or just needs a pause in the day, this might be something worth trying, if it feels right for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why so many of us in midlife are asking, “Is this really it?”
• The nervous system’s response to modern life and why it feels like too much
• How hormonal changes can leave us emotionally all over the place
• Why feeling “off” doesn’t mean something’s wrong – it might just mean you’re ready for something new
• A short, guided grounding practice using your breath and body awareness
• How to come back to yourself – one small pause at a time
• 
  

This one’s for you if:

• You often feel anxious, overwhelmed or overstimulated
• You’re in midlife and feeling a bit disconnected from your purpose
• You’ve been identifying as a mum, a partner, a career woman – and wondering who you are underneath it all
• You want a simple tool to help regulate your nervous system
• You’re ready to slow down and listen to what your body actually needs

In this important gem of an episode, I delve into the complexities of people pleasing and the importance of setting boundaries with psychotherapist and boundaries expert Elsie Owen. We explore how people pleasing often stems from a desire for emotional safety and the impact of childhood experiences on these behaviours. Our discussion highlights the necessity of self-regulation and the strategies for establishing healthy boundaries in relationships. Elsie shares insights from her course, emphasising the importance of pausing and reflecting before responding to social pressures, ultimately guiding listeners towards a more authentic and balanced way of living. We even answer the important question: "how can I have boundaries and not upset people?"

Key takeaways:

• People pleasing is often about regulating our own discomfort rather than genuinely caring for others.
• Setting boundaries is crucial for emotional safety and self-regulation.
• Identifying whether actions stem from kindness or obligation is key to overcoming people pleasing.
• Childhood experiences significantly shape our people pleasing behaviours.
• Emotional safety is about feeling okay in social situations, not just physical safety.
• Learning to pause before responding can help in setting boundaries.
• It's important to recognise that we cannot control how others feel or react.
• Creating secret boundaries can help ease the transition into more assertive communication.
• Self-regulation is essential for maintaining healthy relationships and boundaries.
• The journey of unlearning people pleasing behaviours is possible and empowering.

In this fun yet emotional and empowering episode I'm joined by the wonderful Kristen Carder - renowned ADHD coach, educator and host of the top-rated I Have ADHD podcast. Together, we explore the emotional realities of living with ADHD, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and the often overwhelming experience of parenting with ADHD.

If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I take things so personally?” or “Why is parenting so hard for me?”,  this episode is a must-listen.

Kristen shares her journey of being diagnosed with ADHD at age 21, and how that early diagnosis, along with the right support, changed the trajectory of her life. Whilst I open up about my late ADHD diagnosis in my 50s and how it brought clarity and healing after years of self-doubt and masking.

•  The signs and symptoms of ADHD in women and why they’re so often missed
•  How rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) shows up in everyday life
• The emotional challenges of parenting with ADHD and why our children can be powerful mirrors for our own healing
• Why RSD isn’t “just in your brain” and how it connects to years of internalised rejection and trauma
• Tools for emotional regulation and nervous system support
• How to stop self-blame and start practicing self-compassion and acceptance
• Practical tips to manage ADHD symptoms without shame or guilt
• Why therapy, coaching, and community are essential to healing

Whether you're navigating adult ADHD, supporting a loved one with neurodivergence, or parenting a child with ADHD, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered.
