Manifestation That Works: My Exact Goal-Setting Method for Creating the Life You Want
Join host Sally Obermeder for a solo episode all about manifestation and goal setting – the practice she says has transformed her life more than anything else.From identifying what you truly want (not what you “should” want) to creating an evidence jar for your wins, Sally walks you through her exact process – step by step.✓ Why manifestation & goal setting aren’t just for January 1 – and how Sally uses them every single day✓ How to get radically honest about what you actually want (beyond family expectations, society and “shoulds”)✓ Future-you identity work – habits, boundaries and standards the “next-level you” holds✓ Limiting beliefs: how to spot them, whose voice they really are, and how they quietly cap your success✓ Why writing it down changes everything – and how one cheap notebook has tracked years of goals✓ The “year in review” brain dump: what didn’t work, what did, and what that reveals about what you want next✓ Building a vision for your life across key areas: body, family, relationships, marriage, work, money & home✓ Getting specific with goals – revenue, partnerships, routines, feelings – instead of vague “be happier” wishes✓ Why goals often repeat for years – and how that helps you see what’s really going on underneath✓ The difference between setting goals and actually achieving them: aligned action (no one is coming to save you)✓ Dealing with “failed” goals, timelines that blow out, and when it’s time to cross a goal out and move on✓ Asking the universe for signs (rarely), building inner certainty, and staying the course when it’s hard✓ The “evidence jar” – tracking every little manifestation so you don’t forget how powerful you are✓ Gratitude as fuel: holding deep appreciation for now and big dreams for more at the same time✓ How Sally manifested her TV career and SWIISH’s expansion into the UK (Boots & Health) over years, not weeksWhether you’re brand new to manifestation or ready to refine your process, this episode gives you a clear, practical way to dream bigger – and then actually move towards it.Mentioned Practices & Ideas✓ Honesty check-in – asking, “If no one was watching, what would I truly want?”✓ Future self journaling – exploring: What does future-me tolerate? How does she behave? What are her standards?✓ Limiting belief list – writing beliefs like “I’m too old” or “I’ll never meet the right person” so you can see them clearly✓ One dedicated goal book – using the same notebook year after year to see which goals keep repeating✓ Yearly brain dump – “What didn’t work?” and “What did work?” across life: health, family, money, relationships, work, home✓ Life categories spread – separate pages for: body, family, relationships, marriage, work, money, home & lifestyle✓ Feeling your goals – visualising the moment (e.g. seeing SWIISH on a shelf) and anchoring that giddy feeling into your writing✓ Daily/weekly review – keeping goals in front of you (not buried in a drawer) via your notebook and a notes list on your phone✓ Evidence Jar – writing every manifestation “win” on a tiny note and dropping it into a cup/jar to revisit when doubt creeps in✓ Aligned action – making sure your behaviour and effort actually match the scale of what you’re asking for✓ Releasing misaligned goals – giving yourself permission to cross out goals that no longer fit and choose new ones✓ Gratitude ritual – first and last thought of the day: “Thank you for letting me live to see another day”SWIISHShop wellness, beauty & lifestyle:https://www.swiish.com/FOLLOWhttps://www.instagram.com/swiish/https://www.instagram.com/sallyobermederhttps://www.instagram.com/maha_corbett Hosted on Acast.

The Power of Protein and the Science Behind Getting Stronger, Leaner & Energised with Sarah Di Lorenzo
Join hosts Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett with special guest Sarah Di Lorenzo – clinical nutritionist and bestselling author – as they break down everything you actually need to know about protein: how much you really need, what happens when you overdo it, and how to hit your targets without falling for marketing hype.From menopausal muscle loss to protein popcorn and “black label” supermarket products, this convo is science-led, practical and super real-life.What we get into✓ Why Sarah wrote an entire book on protein – and the confusion she kept seeing in clinic✓ The rise of “high protein everything” – milks, yoghurts, bars, chips & popcorn✓ Protein myths: more isn’t always better, and why loading up can backfire✓ How protein really supports the body – hormones, mood, immunity, energy, muscle, repair & more✓ The link between protein, satiety, “food noise” and sustainable weight loss✓ Keto, carb demonisation & why a high-protein, lower-carb approach can work (with caveats)✓ Ideal protein ranges – why it’s based on body weight, age, activity & life stage✓ Sarcopenia & ageing – what happens to muscle as we get older and why protein becomes non-negotiable✓ What too much protein looks like – weight gain, constipation, dehydration, gut issues & nutrient gaps✓ Acidic diets & protein load – and why greens / alkalising foods matter for long-term health✓ Animal vs plant protein – how much is in chicken, steak, tofu, legumes, yoghurt & cheese✓ Cooking, water content & why dried/aged products appear “higher” in protein✓ Why smoothies are such an easy protein vehicle (and what to sneak into them)✓ Timing your protein – spreading it across the day vs dumping it all at dinner✓ Smart protein add-ins: WPI, plant powders, tofu, nuts, seeds, nut butters & even raw egg✓ The reality behind most protein bars – sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners & gut upset✓ Why Sarah created her own gut-friendly, monk fruit–sweetened protein bars✓ The deeper “why” behind her work – helping people get off meds, reverse disease and feel like themselves againMentioned Practices & Ideas✓ Read the back, not the front – check actual grams of protein per serve instead of trusting “high protein” labels.✓ Set a personalised protein target – use grams per kilo based on your weight, age & activity.✓ Spread protein through the day – include some at every meal and key snack (especially that 3pm crash window).✓ Balance protein with plants – load up on veggies and greens to support digestion, bones & overall health.✓ Use smoothies strategically – add protein powder, tofu, nuts, seeds and veg for a complete, easy meal.✓ Choose cleaner protein powders & bars – look for minimal ingredients, no artificial sweeteners, low sugar alcohols.✓ Start with simple swaps – upgrade snacks (yoghurt, nuts, quality bars) instead of relying on random grazing.SWIISHShop wellness, beauty & lifestyle:https://www.swiish.com/FOLLOWhttps://www.instagram.com/swiish/https://www.instagram.com/sallyobermederhttps://www.instagram.com/maha_corbettGuest:Sarah Di Lorenzo – Clinical nutritionist & bestselling author of a new protein-focused book.https://www.instagram.com/sarah_di_lorenzo/?hl=en Hosted on Acast.
