Cancer Cured Me

In this mini episode, I’m exploring fear, not the obvious kind, but the quiet, everyday fear that keeps us small.I share what I learnt from watching my husband Jase perform stand-up at The Comedy Store, and a powerful moment I witnessed at HX26 when a woman who had always dreamed of singing found the courage to sing in front of a huge audience.This episode is about intuition, nervous system safety, limiting beliefs, courage, purpose and what happens when we stop waiting to feel fearless and choose to feel everything and rise.If this lands with you, I’d love you to get in touch and tell me what you fear and what you want to move through.

I share what landed for me from Roxie Nafousi’s work on manifestation, self-worth, gratitude and becoming the version of yourself who can actually receive what you say you want. I also talk about Dave Asprey’s message around fear, forgiveness and where we are leaking our energy, Peter Crone’s incredible work around the thoughts and beliefs that quietly shape our lives, and David Ghiyam’s teachings around soul purpose, receiving and the patterns we are here to move through.The thread running through all of it, for me, was this:The body matters.The breath matters.The nervous system matters.Belief matters.Light matters.Forgiveness matters.Gratitude matters.Receiving matters.Intuition matters.And the state you are living from shapes the life you are able to create.As always, I bring it back to the nervous system, because before we try to manifest, optimise, biohack, forgive, receive or change our lives, we have to ask:Does my body feel safe enough for this?I’ve also put together a simple guide with my key HX26 takeaways and a reset practice you can use in your own life.

This is a very short solo episode to celebrate episode 80 of Cancer Cured Me - and I had to share this story because honestly, you could not make it up.I recorded this on 9th June 2026.That date is my husband’s birthday.It is also exactly nine years to the day since I was diagnosed with cancer.And just over a week before this anniversary, I received a message from the school where I used to work when I got that diagnosis.They invited me back to speak to their women’s empowerment group about wellness, breathwork and nervous system regulation.A paid speech.On the exact same date.In the exact same place.Nine years later.I mean… come on.In this episode, I share the full-circle story of going back to the place where my life changed completely, but this time as a cancer survivor, a wellness speaker and a very different version of myself.It’s a little story about synchronicity, healing, purpose and those moments in life that make you stop and think, “Okay, something bigger is definitely going on here.”Thank you for being here for 80 episodes. I’m so grateful.In this episode I talk about:Why this 80th episode felt like the perfect moment to share this storyThe significance of 9th June in my lifeThe joke my husband always makes about my cancer diagnosis being the worst birthday presentBeing invited back to the school where I was working when I was diagnosedWhy the timing of the talk felt so powerfulSpeaking about wellness, breathwork and nervous system regulation to a room full of womenWhat it means to come full circle after a life-changing diagnosisWhy I feel more ready than ever to do this work

This is an encore episode of Cancer Cured Me with the incredible Lisa Johnson - global business strategist, public speaker, Sunday Times bestselling author and host of a number one podcast.Lisa has built a hugely successful multi-million pound business, but her self-belief did not begin there. In this powerful conversation, she shares how she grew up in poverty, was chronically bullied throughout her childhood for being poor and spent years believing the cruel things other people had said about her.What makes Lisa’s story so moving is not just the success she has created, but the inner work it took to get there. She talks openly about bullying, low self-esteem, domestic violence, money mindset, entrepreneurship, online trolling and the moment she decided to ask herself: “What if they’re wrong?”This episode is a beautiful reminder that self-belief is not always something we magically wake up with. Sometimes it is something we rebuild, piece by piece, through action, evidence, purpose and learning to know who we are - even when the world has tried to tell us otherwise.Lisa also shares the practices that helped her build what she calls a rock-solid core of self-belief, including the importance of understanding your money story, finding proof that people like you can succeed and learning to love all parts of yourself - not just the neat, polished, socially acceptable bits.We also talk about why money should be a by-product of impact, why the online business world needs more integrity and why Lisa’s work is now deeply rooted in service, purpose and changing the industry for the better.This is an episode for anyone who has ever felt knocked down by other people’s opinions, held back by old stories or unsure whether they are really capable of the life they secretly want.Because sometimes the most powerful question we can ask is: what if they were wrong?In this episode, we talk about:Lisa Johnson’s childhood experience of being bullied for being poorHow bullying can shape self-esteem and self-beliefThe moment Lisa decided to prove to herself that the bullies were wrongBuilding confidence through action and evidenceMoney mindset and the hidden beliefs that can limit our incomeWhy Lisa talks openly about money and business successHow she built a multi-million pound businessThe emotional reality of entrepreneurshipDealing with online trolling and criticismLisa’s practice for building inner confidence and self-acceptanceWhy external validation can never be the foundation of self-beliefTurning pain into purposeWhy money is a by-product of impactBringing more integrity into the online business spaceLisa’s advice to her younger self: live as if you are already cancelledFind Lisa Johnson at www.lisajohnson.com

This week’s episode is a very special encore with the brilliant Georgie Shears, nervous system strategist and ICF accredited neurosomatics practitioner.I wanted to bring this conversation back because nervous system regulation is one of those things I genuinely believe we all need to understand. Not in a complicated, “add another thing to your already overflowing to-do list” kind of way, but in a deeply human, practical, life-changing way.In this episode, Georgie explains what nervous system regulation actually means, why we are not meant to feel calm all the time and how our bodies learn survival patterns that can keep us stuck in anxiety, panic, people pleasing, overwhelm or shutdown.We talk about fight or flight, rest and digest, the vagus nerve, why mindset alone is not always enough and how simple body-based practices can help us feel safer, calmer and more connected to ourselves.Georgie also shares her own powerful story of anxiety, panic attacks, postnatal depression, health anxiety and the moment she realised she needed to understand what was happening in her body - not just her mind.This is such a useful episode if you have ever felt like you are constantly bracing, overthinking, reacting, people pleasing or living with that low-level hum of anxiety in the background.And as always, this is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding yourself.In this episode, we talk about:What nervous system regulation really meansWhy you are not meant to be regulated all the timeFight, flight, freeze and shutdownThe difference between the thinking brain and the body’s survival systemWhy anxiety can become a learned survival patternHow stress affects digestion, immunity, sleep and energyWhy nervous system tools need to meet you where you areThe power of nature, grounding and simple sensory practicesThe vagus nerve and why it mattersHow people pleasing can be a nervous system responseSimple practices you can use straight away to come back into the present momentA simple takeaway from the episodeYour body is not working against you. It is trying to protect you.Nervous system work is about gently showing your body that you are safe now, one small moment at a time.Georgie’s simple nervous system toolsIn the episode, Georgie shares two beautifully simple practices you can try:The 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 presence practiceA grounding tool using your senses to bring your body back into the present moment.A gentle ear massage to support the vagus nerveA calming practice that can help send signals of safety through the body.As Georgie says, even a 1% shift matters.Connect with GeorgieYou can find Georgie on Instagram: @georgieshearsstrategistGeorgie also shares free resources, tools and ways to work with her through the link in her Instagram bio.Listen if you are searching for:nervous system regulation, anxiety support, fight or flight, vagus nerve, somatic healing, trauma-informed wellbeing, emotional regulation, nervous system tools, burnout recovery, people pleasing, stress relief, rest and digest, grounding practices, women’s wellness, midlife wellbeing, holistic health podcast.Based on the transcript you shared for the Georgie Shears encore episode.
