    The Other Side of Fear Is Everything You Want

    30/06/2026 | 12 mins.
    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.

    HX26: What Andrew Huberman, Roxie Nafousi, Dave Asprey, Peter Crone & David Ghiyam Taught Me About Healing, Manifestation and the Nervous System

    In this episode, I’m sharing my personal takeaways from HX26 by Healf - a huge wellness, health, biohacking and longevity event in London, where I was lucky enough to hear from some incredible speakers including Dr Andrew Huberman, Roxie Nafousi, Dave Asprey, Peter Crone and David Ghiyam.

    This isn’t a full conference roundup, because honestly, there was so much going on and only so many hours in the day, but this is my own personal summary of the speakers I saw, the messages that really landed for me, and how I think we can bring some of these ideas into real life without making wellness feel like yet another thing on the to-do list.

    I talk about Andrew Huberman’s reminder that science, prayer, intuition and miracles do not have to sit in separate boxes. 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. If you’d like a copy, click the link in the show notes or message me on Instagram and I’ll send it over.

    In this episode, I talk about:

    My personal takeaways from Healf HX26 in London
    Andrew Huberman on neuroscience, prayer, intuition and miracles
    Roxie Nafousi on manifestation, gratitude and becoming available to receive
    Dave Asprey on fear, forgiveness, energy and longevity
    Peter Crone on the beliefs and stories that keep us stuck
    David Ghiyam on Kabbalah, soul purpose, receiving and repeated patterns
    Why nervous system safety is the foundation for real change
    How breathwork, gratitude, forgiveness and receiving can shift your state
    Why you cannot outsource your own inner knowing
    Simple practices to bring these big wellness ideas into everyday life

    If this episode speaks to you and you’d like to go a little deeper, I’m now offering my Personal Reset Method alongside lymphatic drainage locally in Berkhamsted and Hertfordshire, as well as deeper VIP reset sessions and retreats.

    Manifestation, Comfort Zones and Doing the Thing Before Life Forces You To

    16/06/2026 | 9 mins.
    In this solo episode of Cancer Cured Me, I’m talking about manifestation, comfort zones and what can happen when you finally decide to stop playing small.

    After setting an intention under the full moon, I was invited to give a paid wellbeing talk on nervous system regulation, breathwork and wellness - exactly nine years to the day since my cancer diagnosis.
    I’m also sharing the very funny story of my husband Jase doing a stand-up comedy course at The Comedy Store and somehow making me, my wellness business and all my breathwork ways the centre of his set.

    This episode is a reminder not to wait for a crisis, a cancer diagnosis or a huge life shake-up before you do the thing you’ve always wanted to do.

    9 Years After My Cancer Diagnosis, This Happened

    09/06/2026 | 3 mins.
    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 story
    The significance of 9th June in my life
    The joke my husband always makes about my cancer diagnosis being the worst birthday present
    Being invited back to the school where I was working when I was diagnosed
    Why the timing of the talk felt so powerful
    Speaking about wellness, breathwork and nervous system regulation to a room full of women
    What it means to come full circle after a life-changing diagnosis
    Why I feel more ready than ever to do this work

    Encore: Lisa Johnson on Bullying, Self-Belief and Making Millions with Integrity

    02/06/2026 | 34 mins.
    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 poor
    How bullying can shape self-esteem and self-belief
    The moment Lisa decided to prove to herself that the bullies were wrong
    Building confidence through action and evidence
    Money mindset and the hidden beliefs that can limit our income
    Why Lisa talks openly about money and business success
    How she built a multi-million pound business
    The emotional reality of entrepreneurship
    Dealing with online trolling and criticism
    Lisa’s practice for building inner confidence and self-acceptance
    Why external validation can never be the foundation of self-belief
    Turning pain into purpose
    Why money is a by-product of impact
    Bringing more integrity into the online business space
    Lisa’s advice to her younger self: live as if you are already cancelled
