Join hosts Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett as they go deep in this raw and powerful episode of the Wellness Diary, with Sally sharing the untold story of how her true wellness journey began - long before cancer.

✓ The truth about emotional eating and using food to cope

✓ The early signs of burnout and how it crept in silently

✓ A toxic job, 40kg weight gain, and the turning point that sparked change

✓ How running (literally) rewired Sally’s mindset

✓ The life-altering power of finishing what you start

✓ Why building mental strength prepared her to face cancer

✓ Self-motivation, pep talks and becoming your own biggest cheerleader

This isn’t just a story about illness - it’s a story about resilience, growth and getting it done when no one else will do it for you. Whether you're in a rut, struggling to prioritise yourself, or just need a reminder of your own strength, this one will stay with you.
