Television presenter, author, entrepreneur and mum of two Sally Obermeder returns to Tea with Jules, eleven years after her first visit. The day before she welcomed her daughter Annabel, Sally was diagnosed with aggressive stage 3 breast cancer, entering motherhood while facing chemotherapy, surgery and enormous uncertainty. What she built on the other side of that is a story of pure resilience.
In this warm, funny and genuinely useful chat, Sally and Jules talk about backing yourself when you feel completely ordinary, taking the leap before you can see the other side, and the quiet belief that if she can do it, you can too. Sally opens up with real honesty about the fear that she had used up all her good luck surviving cancer, running a business through a stressful name change (Swish is now Ziish), why the bigger a business gets the heavier the load, and the pressure social media puts on all of us to do everything at once. Then the girls get practical with Sally's no fuss wellness routine, before finishing on Real Housewives of Sydney, the lesson it unexpectedly taught her, and a beautiful reminder to put yourself back on the list.

SALLY'S SIMPLE WELLNESS ROUTINE
Sally's "how to start" guide for anyone feeling overwhelmed by where to begin (from around the 33 minute mark):
- Start simple. Don't buy everything. Pick just one or two areas you struggle with most, usually energy, skin or sleep.
- Morning: A super greens shot to bridge the gap on the vegetables most of us don't eat, plus an NAD supplement for cellular energy.
- Through the day: Add collagen to your coffee or tea for skin.
- Night: Choose one, a sleep support if you need it, or hair and gut health support if you don't.
- Also worth it in your 40s: Creatine every day (women only need three to five grams, not the 20 grams the gym myths are based on), and getting your protein up, which is where an unflavoured protein you can add to any meal comes in.
