What happens when a doctor suddenly becomes the patient?

In this powerful episode of Tom’s Talks, we sit down with Dr Anisha Patel — a GP, author, speaker, and bowel cancer survivor — who shares her deeply personal journey from diagnosis to recovery, and everything that came after.

At just 39 years old, Anisha was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer — despite having no obvious risk factors. What followed was a life-changing experience that reshaped her mindset, her career, and her mission.

This conversation goes far beyond cancer. It’s about resilience, perspective, mental health, and the small habits that could genuinely save your life.

This is one of those conversations that could change how you look at your health forever.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Paul Mort — a two-time UK Master Coach of the Year — for one of the most raw and honest conversations on mindset, mental health and personal growth you’ll hear.

From addiction, lost years, and a complete lack of purpose — to building a life of impact, speaking on global stages, and helping thousands transform their mindset.

This isn’t surface-level motivation. This is the truth most people avoid.
