78 Turning Wounds into Wisdom: Matt Catling on Healing, NLP & Creating Your Dream Life

78 Turning Wounds into Wisdom: Matt Catling on Healing, NLP & Creating Your Dream Life

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.

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!
