79 Healing Through Self-Love: When Your Body Screams, Listen.

Have you ever felt frustrated, disappointed, or even angry at your body when pain or illness shows up? I know that feeling well. I’ve been there—thinking my body had let me down, believing that pain meant I was failing somehow.

But here’s the truth: Pain isn’t a punishment. It’s a message. A loving call from your body, asking you to slow down, to listen, to nurture yourself.

In this week’s episode of I Love Me The Podcast, I share the story of a recurring foot injury that seemed impossible to heal. I tried physical therapy, stretches, strengthening exercises… and yes, they helped—but the real breakthrough came when I stopped trying to “fix” myself and started giving my body radical self-love.

I talk about:

How to shift from frustration to compassion for your body
How to truly listen to your body’s messages instead of ignoring them
Simple practices that allow your body to heal from the inside out

Because here’s the thing: True healing goes deeper than the surface. Pain, injury, and illness are often connected to long-held beliefs, emotional patterns, and energetic blocks. Healing from the inside out requires more than physical fixes alone—it requires love, awareness, and alignment.

About me…

Hi, I’m Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast. For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.

In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.

Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.

My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same.

On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!
