thriving wellness empire named SWIISH, alongside
her sister and co-founder, Maha Corbett.
Sally, 49, first came up with the idea for their original
super green supplements while in hospital and fighting aggressive stage-three
breast cancer, which she has since overcome.
She was diagnosed with the disease back in October 2011, at 41 weeks pregnant
and the day before she was due to give birth to her first daughter Annabelle, now 11.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Friday, the TV presenter revealed how her
brand has gone from strength to strength in an 'accidental success' and gone on to include supplements for gut health and
even menopausal symptoms - and how it all originated because she wanted to 'help
people' get on top of their health.
Sally spoke about her approach to wellness and her recent 10-year cancer free
milestone, saying she's grateful for each and every day and feels like she's
'giving back' in a way after her cancer journey.
How Sally Obermeder built a wellness empire: TV star reveals SWIISH is an 'accidental success' after co-founding the brand to 'try and help people' after her cancer
diagnosis: 'I know what it's like to be both sick and well'
Sally said she's grateful for the support of her brand,
with her SWIISH community and fans also supporting her as she beat breast cancer.
'When I had cancer, I was the beneficiary of the love and goodwill of the people I didn't know and that's not lost on me,' she said.
'I thought, ''what can I do here to feel like I am giving back?'' I know what it's like to be sick and what it feels like to be well.'

Speaking about the growth of her brand, she said she first called sister
Maha to tell her about her greens idea while in hospital all those years ago.
'The thing is, we didn't set out to make a brand, when it started, I rang Maha from my
hospital bed, and was like, ''I want to do something that helps people
feel better.'' It feels like an accidental success, I didn't have
a blueprint,' Sally explained.
'Our growth has been very organic. I only set out to make greens.
I didn't set out with any grand plan. It was the customer who enabled us to get
here. When the customers were like, ''we have the greens and feel so good but can you help us sleep'' and then we worked on a sleep product,' she said.
Reflecting on the success of the brand and it becoming
a reported six-figure business, she added: 'We've got retail partners now and I owe
it to the community who built this with us.
Sometimes even I'm shocked.'
Sally co-founded the brand with sister Maha Corbett
(pictured). 'It started as a blog. Being a woman in business and in business full stop it is really tough.
At every turn you, it's challenging,' she said
Sally said a lot of 'blood, sweat and tears' have gone into
building the brand, where a gut fibre powder
starts at $39.95.
'It started as a blog. Being a woman in business and in business full
stop it is really tough. At every turn you, it's challenging.'
'Socials makes everything look really easy. But what you
don't see is the 2am finishes, the sacrifices, the things you don't go to cause you're working on putting your money
into the business, you're going without certain things, but
it's your choice,' she explained.
Sally said working with her sister is enjoyable as they have a 'close bond' and are 'sounding boards for one another'.
'We are polar opposites and that's beneficial for us and the business, we come at everything from a different perspective,
' she said.
'It's going to be a big year [for us].'
Sally said she starts each and every day with what she calls a 'supershot' where she mixes a spoonful of her immunity, super
greens and collagen supplement together in a glass
of water, in what she says is a simple approach to wellness.

'I do a super shot everyday. I'm a big believe that wellness needs to be effective
and it's easy - it can't be complicated, it takes the joy out of it.
I don't have time for a 48-step routine,' she said.
She said she hasn't had a cold or flu in four years thanks to her immunity product.
She also eats a healthy and balanced diet, but does indulge in the
occasional treat or dessert if out.
'I eat well and normally, protein, carbs, veggies and fruit and I also eat sweets,' she said.
'Food is enjoyable and I don't believe in it being punishing.'

The mother-of-two said she's feeling the best she's ever felt and also spoke about
her 10-year cancer free milestone.
'For a long time, I didn't think I'd get to that milestone, I didn't think I'd get to one year,
let alone five or ten. That was a milestone,
but weirdly enough, so is most days,' she said.
'Your filter or lens of life just changes. Sometimes it's less about the big milestones...
So is like next Tuesday and today, I'm very grateful in a way of the ordinary, when you don't think you're going to get the ordinary anymore,
the standard day becomes quite valuable,' she said.
