Spilling the Tea on the T in TLC

Send us Fan MailIn 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.Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and introduction 00:28 Why talking about herself makes Tina almost pass out 01:11 VIP events and staying out of the spotlight 04:41 The spark that led to OmMade Meet the Maker 09:03 The realities of retail, makers and markets 21:12 How OmMade Organic Skincare began in Tina’s kitchen 24:05 The truth behind greenwashing 24:42 Building a business from nothing 25:12 Product evolution and customer favourites 26:32 Studying naturopathy and the link to formulating 27:13 Buying Hidden Treasure Tea 31:08 The birth of the OmMade Wellness Hub 33:06 Natural health education and the power of simple remedies 40:43 Challenges, growth and what is ahead 46:46 Our reflections and a whole lot of love for Tina Support the showLaughing with us?
