This is NOT a podcast about cancer - it's about living well. It’s a reminder to celebrate life and not to wait until a big diagnosis comes along to live your best life.
On this podcast we talk about healing, manifesting and living your best life. We cover all forms of wellness, natural health and nervous system regulation. We humans have the ability to lead magnificent, enriched and fulfilling lives of our dreams but we need to create a safe environment in our bodies for these manifestations to become reality
Many of our guests have gone through and survived some form of disease, adversity or near death experience and have used that wake up call to change for the better and create an incredible life of purpose. These stories are absolutely awe inspiring and will open you up to what is possible if you make some simple changes to your daily life.
We have incredible experts sharing their vast knowledge on all aspects of wellness, disease prevention, healing modalities, manifestation, spirituality and mental health optimisation.
Meet your host: Alex (La to her friends and family) After receiving a completely unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2017 my world caved in. But my journey through treatment and recovery also forced me to recognise many uncomfortable truths about my life. I’d neglected myself. I’d pushed down trauma and become a world class people pleaser in order to feel safe. Getting ill made me realise I had to stop sweating the small stuff and make lasting changes for the better. Quite literally, cancer cured me from all that crap, and in its own strange way, proved to be the catalyst that’s led me to an infinitely happier life.
This podcast is my way of sharing all the learning so that YOU don't have to get cancer to realise just how great your life can be. Remember - YOU hold all the cards to achieve the life of your dreams.

In this no-holds-barred interview with Philly J Lay, host of the highly successful The Wellness Way podcast, she reveals her unbelievable, shocking and at times controversial story of how she overcame autoimmune disease, PTSD, grief and countless other debilitating symptoms through natural medicine and healing modalities. Philly holds nothing back as she shares the raw truth of her journey - from medical trauma to self-healing - and the unconventional path that transformed her life.
Philly J Lay is a long-standing advocate for our health and that of our planet, passionate in her belief that everything is connected and that when we learn to heal ourselves, we will heal this beautiful world.
After a near death medical procedure, PTSD, addiction to opioids whilst suffering from grief, resulting in a range of chronic illnesses, she discovered personalised natural medicine and the associated miracles of the body and power of the mind.
She is the host of The Wellness Way podcast and author of The Natural Wellness Journal, The Wellness Way: Your Natural Health Systems.
