In this episode of Cancer Cured Me, I’m talking about love, but not in the smoochy, romantic sense. This is about the kind of love you feel in your whole body, the collective, all-consuming, joy-filled energy that reminds you what it feels like to be fully alive.
After attending Harry Styles’ record-breaking 12-night run at Wembley Stadium, I wanted to share what I experienced inside that stadium, because it was so much more than a concert. It was live music, nervous system regulation, sound healing, freedom, identity, inclusion, joy, connection and pure magic, all wrapped into one unforgettable experience.
I talk about the power of live music and why it can move us so deeply, from the vibration of sound in the body to the way singing, humming and music can support the nervous system. Whether it’s Harry Styles, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, a local band in the park or your favourite song in the car, music has the power to shift our state, lift us out of darkness and bring us back to ourselves.
I also share the story behind my Harry Styles ticket giveaway, the beautiful messages I received from strangers, the winner’s magical birthday experience with her mum and the reminder that joy is contagious, love is healing and kindness can ripple much further than we realise.
This episode is about permission. Permission to have fun, to be childlike, to dance with strangers, to sing at the top of your voice, to follow what lights you up and to create more moments of love in your everyday life.
In this episode, I talk about:
Harry Styles at Wembley and the magic of live music
