I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca

Birthing used to be one of my biggest fears. For most of my life, I carried the same stories many women do — that birth is dangerous, traumatic, painful, and something our bodies can’t truly handle without intervention. And when I started feeling the call to conceive, I knew I had to face that fear head on.   That journey led me to someone very special — Suraj Bryson — a woman who has spent more t...

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...

Have you ever gazed at a glass of water and wondered… What if this isn’t just a glass of H₂O — but a reflection of everything I feel inside? And what if the way I treat myself… The words I say to myself… The beliefs I carry about who I am… Actually show up in the very cells of my body?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re diving into the work of Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto and his wate...

Imagine walking through life with a label stuck to your forehead. It might say ‘depressed’, ‘anxious’, ‘lazy’, ‘introvert’, ‘too much’, or ‘not enough’.   Everywhere you go, people see it. And slowly—quietly—you start to believe it. That label doesn’t just describe you. It begins to define you.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re exploring what it would mean to lose the labels we’ve placed on...

What if I told you that every single problem in your life — big or small — stems from just one thing? And that if you could shift that one thing, your entire reality would begin to transform? Now, I know that sounds like a bold claim. But hear me out…   Because whether you’re struggling with your relationship, your finances, your health, or that endless feeling of ‘I’m not where I should be in lif...

Today we’re diving into a topic that so many women silently struggle with, but almost no one talks about openly. And honestly? We need to talk about it. We need to take it out of the shadows, out of the Google search tabs at 2am, out of the quiet shame curled up in the back of your mind… and bring it into the light.   So let’s talk about vaginismus. Yep, we’re going there today, so if you have lit...

Today, I want to share something that might just change the way you move through emotional pain forever. It’s one of my favourite tools — something I’ve used personally and shared with countless clients over the years — because it’s that powerful.   It’s called The Letting Go Letter.   And no, it’s not just another journaling exercise. It’s a sacred emotional detox — a way to literally set yoursel...

Today I’d like to have a gentle conversation with you about the emotion of hurt. That quiet ache in your chest when someone hurts you… the sting when trust is broken… the heaviness when you feel unseen or dismissed. It’s tender. It’s real. And it matters.   In this week’s episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we explore the true purpose of hurt — and how, when met with compassion, it can actually guid...

Let’s explore something that affects our energy, our mood, our clarity, our emotions — and honestly, our entire life: How we eat. And no — not what we eat. We talk about that everywhere else. Everyone has an opinion — paleo, vegan, gluten free, carnivore, keto, lemon water with unicorn tears…   But today isn't about food rules. Today is about how we eat. Because here’s a truth we rarely hear: We c...

As we move into Late Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, the energy naturally begins to shift. This is the season that Chinese Medicine places at the very centre of the year — and the centre of you.   In this episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we explore the Spleen, an often-overlooked organ system that governs not just digestion, but your energy, mental clarity, emotional processing, and sense...

What if the secret to attracting The One — or bringing your current relationship back to life — wasn’t out there… but already within you?   So many of us spend years searching for love, longing for it, or struggling inside relationships that feel stuck, believing the answer is about finding the 'right' person. But what if, instead of chasing love, we started cultivating it?   In the first episode...

Today, we’re unwrapping a topic that feels extra close to my heart this time of year… and no, it’s not about what’s under the tree. It’s all about Christmas Presence—yep, you heard that right… presence, not presents.   Because while gifts wrapped up in shiny paper are lovely, the most powerful gift you can offer your loved ones this holiday season isn’t something you can buy in a shop or pop in a...

When was the last time you let yourself dance — like, really dance? Not at a wedding. Not in a class. Just you, barefoot, unfiltered, hips wiggling, shoulders shaking, letting your body speak in its own beautiful language.   In this episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we dive into the wildly underrated magic of movement — how a single song can shift your mood, clear stuck emotion, calm your nervous...

As we move towards the end of the year, I’ve been hearing the same thing from so many women:   “I feel stretched… thin.” “I’m overwhelmed but still saying yes.” “I’m exhausted from holding everyone else together.”   And if any part of you is quietly nodding right now, this week’s episode of I Love Me: The Podcast was made for you. Because today we’re diving straight into a topic that most people m...

Have you noticed it yet? That subtle shift as we step into Summer — the longer days, the buzzy energy, the pressure to ‘make the most of it’, the sudden calendar creep. For many people, this season feels both expansive and exhausting. You might be feeling:   More social, but also more overstimulated More energised, yet strangely tired More ‘alive’, but also a bit scattered or easily overwhelmed Ex...

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....

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 epi...

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...

What if I told you that a few simple words—spoken with intention—could rewire your mind, shift your energy, and completely change the trajectory of your life? It sounds almost too easy, right? But that’s the beauty of mantras.   For mantras are more than just words. They’re energetic codes that speak directly to your subconscious—helping you dissolve self-doubt, reprogram old stories, and align wi...

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...

Have you ever noticed how much energy we spend trying not to feel what we’re feeling? We push. We fix. We rush. We tell ourselves, “If I can just change this one thing… then I’ll be okay.” But what if true healing doesn’t come from fighting life—but from finally saying yes to it?   This week on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re exploring acceptance—not as resignation or defeat, but as one of the most c...

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...

If you’ve ever battled the weight of depression, the racing thoughts of anxiety, or the constant nagging of your inner critic, you know how exhausting it can feel.   That quiet voice inside that whispers: “You’re not enough.” “You should be coping better.” “Everyone else seems to have it together.” It’s relentless. And it can leave you feeling like you’re stuck in a loop you can’t get out of.   Bu...

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 divin...

Today, we’re diving deep into an emotion that doesn’t often get the love it deserves: Guilt. An emotion we tend to push away, hide from, or drown out.   But what if — instead of resisting guilt — we got curious about it? What if guilt wasn’t here to punish us… But to guide us?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast we’re exploring the true purpose of guilt, and how to use guilt to evolve into a more ali...
