In this episode, the three of us finally sit Tina down and get the story we have been trying to record since day one. As the T in TLC, Tina is usually the one shining the light on everyone else. Tonight, we gently drag her into it. What unfolds is an honest, warm and funny look at how she built OmMade Organic Skincare, Hidden Treasure Tea, OmMade Meet the Maker and the OmMade Wellness Hub, and how each of these grew from her deep belief in natural health and helping people.

We talk about why Tina has no problem being the quiet achiever in the background, why being the centre of attention makes her want to pass out and how she still manages to run multiple businesses, mentor makers, support her community and empower people with natural health education. You will hear stories from the early days of kitchen-bench formulating, the moment she uncovered greenwashing in the skincare industry, the makers who have been with her since day one and the ripple effect of her knowledge in our own lives.

This episode is not just Tina’s journey. It is our chance to tell her what she will never say about herself, how she has shaped our businesses, our confidence and our families’ health, and why we are so proud of her. If you have ever wondered who the T in TLC really is, this is the tea.

This week, we're diving headfirst into a spicy convo that had our heads spinning and our eyebrows raised. Yep, we're talking Digital ID. Is it about safety and convenience, or is it a sneaky step towards total control? Spoiler: we’ve got opinions.

We chat about how "conspiracy theories" from a few years back are suddenly looking a bit less tinfoil hat and a bit more “uh-oh, this is actually happening.” With digital ID laws already in place, we unpack what this could mean for our personal freedom, privacy, and how we live our lives.

From comparisons with China's social credit system to trying to figure out how we’d even exist without social media (can we bring back fax machines?), this episode is a wild ride. There’s chat about bartering, fake IDs (for entertainment purposes only, of course), and how we can build strong, connected communities to stay resilient if things go full dystopia.

We end with a big ol’ call to action: now’s the time to get vocal, get involved, and maybe rethink how much of our lives we hand over to tech.

Slip, slop, slap… or maybe just slip into this episode first. We’re taking a good hard look at sunscreen, sun exposure, and what "sun safety" really means.

From the hidden nasties in your SPF to the feel-good benefits of soaking up some rays, we’re questioning the mainstream narrative and chatting through some eye-opening alternatives. There’s a bit of history, a bit of science, and a whole lot of real-life stories — including homemade sunscreen experiments, black salve experiences, and how sound therapy might play a role in cancer care.

It’s sun safety… but not as you know it.

In this episode:

• Sunscreen: friend or foe?
• Why sunglasses might be messing with your brain
• Can diet protect you from sun damage?
• The truth about Vitamin D
• Natural SPF options and DIY solutions
• Stories from the frontlines of skin cancer and alternative treatments
• Is the Cancer Council getting it wrong?
• How complementary therapies can work alongside conventional care

Whether you're a sun worshipper or shade dweller, this chat will get you thinking twice before you slap on the SPF 50.
