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.Connect with Elsie:Insta: @boundarieswithelsieWeb: www.elsieowen.comSign up here for Elsie's course, Build Better Boundaries with 30% DISCOUNT UNTIL END AUGUST 2025. https://www.elsieowen.com/bbbDOWNLOAD HERE!

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 2025How I used visualisation and breathwork to supercharge my podcast launchThe story behind buying a VIP ticket to meet Mel RobbinsWhy meeting Mel Robbins felt like a full-circle momentThe science-meets-soul reason I believe this stuff actually worksThis isn’t just about Mel Robbins – it’s about proving to yourself that your dreams, however big or small, are possible.

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 transformationHer 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!Here is the e-book we mention in the podcast to download:https://bellachater.com/products-and-prices/p/eft-tapping-guide-book📩 Book a Free Consultation & Start Your Journey →https://calendly.com/bellachater/consultationcall?month=2025-02Insta - @bellachaterWebsite: www.bellachater.comConnect With Your Host:Insta: @cancercuredmeWebsite: www.balancedbodyandretreats.comIf you like what you hear... buymeacoffee.com/alexsimms.
