26. The Prep You Need For 2023
05 Jan 2023
00:21:55
I'M BACK!!!
It only seems right with it being the start of a new year.
If you truly want to make this year different and to make a change that lasts listen to my top two tips that will allow you to transform your health and habits.
How many times are you going to say the magical words ‘I’m going on a diet’. Hats off if dieting has worked for you!
The research shows, (yes I looked it up after I recorded this haha), varying results from 20% to as little as 0.1% actually keeping weight off after dieting.
So why not change what the word diet means to you? I hope I got the message across in my ramblings. This one change can make the process so much easier for you to be and stay healthy.
Warning: If you have a newborn this may bot be the episode for you haha!
I'm super excited to be talking all about sleep with you today because as a parent to two young children I feel I get it. Throw on top being a business owner, I can get how things can be on your mind and the pressure to join the '5am club' out of choice. There's nothing wrong with waking up early, but sorry it's just not for me.
As we should all be spending a third of our lives asleep, why are so many of us chronically tired?
What can be done to combat this?
I'll share with you my tips and insights to making your sleep as restorative as you can.
Please please please leave me a review and also message me on instagram @sophie.mcdermott with anything you need or just to say hello :)
Thank you so much for listening.

23. The Power That Made The Body Heals The Body
10 Nov 2022
00:24:52
It is only right, after spending all weekend at my favourite annual chiropractic conference, that I talk to you about all things chiropractic.
I could talk literally for hours and hours about chiropractic.
I am lucky and blessed that my career is also my passion and part of my way of life.
However what I find frustrating is that not more people know about the true power of chiropractic and the potential their bodies have to function at its best.
If you need a chiropractor send me a message on instagram @sophie.mcdermott and I will be able to find you one, or at least know the right direction to point you in.

03 Nov 2022
00:21:31
With Christmas around the corner as we enter November, it is time to get our bodies ready for the possible challenges of winter, and dare I say, overeating and overindulging.
So I need you to schedule 7 days in your calendar, in the immediate future, hey why not start today! This is a 7 day reset. If you can't commit to 7 days of changing your health, how can you change anything? This isn't going to be hard. I am sharing what you can do, and you don't need to follow everything I am doing.
Tell a friend, tell a work colleague, get some accountability, get committed, and most importantly, have fun.
After 7 days you will see and feel a change, and have started building new habits to take with you past that week.
Feeling overwhelmed and struggling to prioritise your health?
In this episode of Beyond The Adjustment, we break down simple, practical steps to help busy mums regain control and make health a natural part of their daily routine.
Discover the power of micro-goals, find your non-negotiables, and simplify your to-do list with just a little bit of planning.
Overwhelm doesn’t have to hold you back, and small, consistent steps can lead to big results. Tune in and take your first step toward a healthier, less stressful life!
Inner work can be tough and difficult... but it is soooo worth it!
Get your pen and paper ready today as we go through this exercise together. Lots of us have emotional connections to what we eat, when we eat and why we are eating. I'm sharing a fantastic tool to improve your awareness about your relationship with food and how to break down the barriers standing in your way with how you view food and how this ultimately affects how you view yourself as a person.
Please message me on instagram @sophie.mcdermott with how you've got on with this one and do ask any questions you might have.
This may seem like another 'out there' topic but I know you have to at least try everything and see what helps you. For every story of 'that doesn't work' there is a story of 'that transformed my life!'
I've been using crystals for about two or three months now and it has made a difference in how I am vibing. We are all energy and we need to make sure we are vibrating as high as we can.

This is the Etsy shop I brought mine from and this set includes my top 3 and more!

00:24:41
How many tools do you have in your toolbox so to speak, to keep you motivated and on track to reach your goals? Without multiple cues and reminders to improve your health, and once you break good habits, it is very easy to fall back into bad habits.
Life is all about balance, so please be kind to yourself during your journey.
Awareness is key to being able to ensure slip ups are just that, and are not long term changes.

55. Dance Like Nobody Is Watching
13 Feb 2025
00:17:22
Today's podcast is inspired by my daughter Jessica who turns 6 this week. Sometimes the magic of kids and how they can just let go, can teach us many valuable lessons.
This week I am encouraging you to do exactly that... let go.
If you've been feeling like life is super busy or generally a bit stressed, then this is for you.
Sometimes, it is something random that can complexity shift you out of a funk and get you looking at life in a different way.
Hi Team! Did you know that T.E.A.M stands for Together Everyone Achieves More! That's why I started this podcast. To create a team of people wanting more from their health and their lives. Follow me on instagram @sophie.mcdermott for more support.
It's August 2022 and before you know it we will all be saying the same thing of 'How is it Christmas and the end of the year?'
Don't let this time past you by!
On today's podcast episode, I will ask you to dig deep. What are your goals and WHY? Really take some time to think about that. Why do you want to lose weight? Why do you want to tone up? Why do you want to eat better? What is your personal why?
Naked pics? WTF I hear you cry! All will make sense once you've listened.
'What gets measured gets managed'
What measurements are you taking and how often? Pick what works for you and stick with it.
For more accountability, and if you are feeling brave, share with me your 'before measurements' over on instagram @sophie.mcdermott or email me at sophie.mcdermott.shw@gmail.com

8. The Power Of Habits
27 Jul 2022
00:25:32
The craziness of last week continued... I tell you a bit more about it at the beginning of this episode.
To get to the good stuff, keep listening, as I share my insights from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, and how you can use these principles to build good health habits that you will stick too. Cause lets face it, we've all had good intentions to make a change, but then weeks later the motivation dries up and we are back at square one. Building habits are vital and will stop any yo-yoing you are currently doing, or have done in the past.
As always, please do share this episode with family, friends and anyone who you feel might benefit, or might simply just enjoy listening to some health and wellness info.
