I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca

If you’ve ever felt that tug in your chest at this time of year — the craving for warmth, quiet, softness, or a return to yourself — you’re already responding to the power of Winter Solstice. Most people rush through June (or December if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) thinking it’s ‘just cold’, but it’s not. Winter Solstice is one of the most ancient and meaningful turning points on Earth’s calendar, and if you’ve ever wondered why humans from every culture, in every era, stopped everything to celebrate one single night… Well… today you’ll find out. Because Winter Solstice isn’t only the darkest and most Yin day of the year — it’s a powerful reset. A moment where the sun literally stops moving in the sky. A pause so profound that ancient people believed time stood still. And that stillness? It matters for us just as much today as it did thousands of years ago. So if you’ve been feeling tired, stretched thin, or like you could use a good soul-level exhale… This episode on I Love Me The Podcast, is your permission slip to step into the magic of Yule.

Today we’re talking about your body’s natural ability to heal — and why so many of us never learned how to tap into it. This episode on I Love Me The Podcast breaks open the idea that healing is something ‘out there’ you need to earn, chase, or fight for… and instead shows you what the science, the ancient wisdom, and your own lived experience all confirm: Your body is constantly regenerating.Your cells are always renewing.You are never stuck. But whether we actually heal depends on the environment we create — on the outside and the inside. In this episode you’ll hear: 🌷 Why your body is always trying to heal you — and the scientific evidence showing just how quickly your tissues actually renew. 🌷 The REAL reason people stay sick(It’s not genetics. It’s the environment the body is trying to survive in.) 🌷 How your thoughts and beliefs directly influence cellular behaviourAnd no, this isn’t woo — it’s epigenetics, biology, and quantum physics. 🌷 The ways your symptoms are actually messagesNot punishments. Not failures. Messages. Your body trying to get your attention. 🌷 Exactly how stress blocks healingAnd how to shift your internal environment so your body can finally drop into restoration mode. 🌷 Why emotional healing and physical healing are inseparableMost people try to heal their body while ignoring the beliefs that keep them sick. We go deep into this. 🌷 Simple, practical steps to create the right “conditions” for your body to repair itselfWhole foods, grounding outdoors, sleep cycles, nervous system regulation — and why they matter more than you think. 🌷 The identity shift that changes everything:From “I’m sick” to “I’m healing.”From “this is happening to me” to “my body is communicating with me.” You’ll also hear some of my own healing stories — the things I reversed naturally, the clients who defied timelines and diagnoses, and why the emotional work was the missing piece every single time. This episode is validating, eye-opening, empowering, and deeply practical. And I think you’ll walk away with a brand-new relationship with your body — one rooted in respect, communication, and possibility.

Every now and then, you sit down with someone and the conversation is just too powerful to keep behind closed doors. Back in 2021, I had the privilege of interviewing someone who has completely shaped the direction of my life — Matt Catling. At the time, this conversation was shared exclusively inside one of my programs, but today I’m thrilled to release it publicly for the very first time. Matt has been a mentor, teacher, and pioneer in the field of personal development. What makes his story so inspiring is that it didn’t begin with success — it began with bullying, anxiety, low confidence, and learning difficulties. Then, at just 12 years old, Matt discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and it changed everything. From struggling at school to becoming a leader in self-healing, mindset mastery, and creating a purposeful life, Matt’s journey shows what’s possible when we commit to transformation. In this episode, we explore: Why commitment is the first pillar of creating change The role of self-love and self-healing in attracting healthy relationships How shifting your energy creates better outcomes than trying to control them Why your wounds hold the key to your mission How to stop emotional leakages, calm internal wars, and unlock your true genius The connection between a parent’s healing and a child’s self-love What it really takes to balance business, family, and purpose without burning out The shifts that allowed Matt to 10x his revenue while doing less AND practical tools, from quitting cigarettes with NLP to creating the right team around you. Matt also shares his personal journey of struggling with romantic relationships, and how getting clear on what he truly wanted — while clearing the barriers within himself — allowed the love of his life to walk in. This episode, on I Love Me The Podcast, is about transformation, self-discovery, and creating the life you were born to live. If you’ve ever wondered how to break free from old wounds, step into your purpose, and design a life filled with meaning, love, and freedom, you’re going to love this timeless conversation.

When was the last time you wrote yourself a love letter? Not a text. Not a journal entry. But a real, handwritten message of love — sealed, stamped, and sent through the mail — to you. 💌 It might sound simple (or even a little silly), but this small, heartfelt ritual has the power to open something deep inside you. It’s called The Love Card — and it’s what we’re exploring in this week’s episode of I Love Me The Podcast. In this episode, I share: 🌸 How writing yourself a Love Card can rewire the way you relate to yourself🌸 The exact steps to create this beautiful ritual at home🌸 Why your nervous system needs tangible reminders of your own love🌸 And how receiving that letter back in the mail becomes a sacred act of healing Because the truth is — we’re so conditioned to show others love, but it’s rare that most people pause long enough to love themselves in the same way. This ritual changes that. It takes all the tenderness, appreciation, and compassion you naturally extend to others… and gently turns it back toward you. Imagine opening your mailbox in a few days’ time…and there it is — an envelope with your name, written in your own handwriting. A message from your past self whispering: “I see you. I love you. I’ve got you.” That moment is everything! Listen today, and discover the magic of sending love to the one person who truly needs it — you.

Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and thought… “If only this part of me were different…If only I looked more like them… If only I could fix this, then I’d finally feel okay”? I know that ache — because for years, I lived it too. I battled with body dysmorphia, constantly comparing, constantly critiquing, never feeling enough — no matter how “together” I looked on the outside. And what I discovered, after years of trying to fix the outside, is this: The problem was never my body. It was the beliefs I held about my body. The real healing began when I stopped trying to change how I looked — and started changing how I spoke to myself. When I stopped treating my body as something to control, and started treating it as something to honour. That’s what this week’s episode on I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca is all about: How to begin healing body dysmorphia and body shame from the inside out. In this episode, I share my personal story — the raw parts, the healing parts, and the exact practices that helped me move from self-criticism to self-acceptance. Because true beauty doesn’t come from filters, makeup, or weight loss. It comes from softening the way we see ourselves. It comes from love — real, unconditional, inner love. So if you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body… If you find yourself comparing, hiding, or wishing things were different… Please take a few minutes to listen. This might just be the episode that starts your journey home to yourself. 💗 Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/10/14/ep-74-body-dysmorphia-falling-in-love-with-your-looks/ About me… Hi, I’m Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast.

So you’re searching for inner peace. Or maybe just a little more calm in a world that never seems to slow down. But how do you find that still point inside yourself when the to-do list is endless, your inner critic is loud, and your mind won’t quit spinning? That’s where today’s topic comes in: Zen. And how you can become your very own Zen Master. Yes, today on I Love Me the Podcast, we’re diving into the ancient - yet totally relevant - teachings of Zen Buddhism. Exploring how this path of simplicity, presence, and self-inquiry can lead you back to something we all long for: Friendship with ourself. And if you think becoming a Zen master is just for monks in robes or people who can sit still for hours… don’t worry, we’re bringing it down to earth. With a whole lot of self-love.

You’d never ignore a cry for help from someone you love. So why do we dismiss the whispers — and sometimes screams — of our own body? Your pelvis… that sacred, often overlooked part of you… has stories to tell. And today, it might be trying to tell you something you’ve never considered before: That your relationship with money could be affecting your pelvic health. Yes, truely. In this episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we’re exploring the surprising — and powerful — link between our pelvis and our prosperity. Because what’s going on financially isn’t just a numbers game… it’s deeply emotional, profoundly physical, and rooted in how supported we feel. So if you’ve been experiencing money stress and/or a pelvic health issue, this episode will help shed light on what needs to be looked at, so you can facilitate deep healing.
