This week, I’m joined by Dr Jacqueline Beltz, Australian ophthalmologist and founder of OKKIYO. With two decades of experience under her belt, Jacquie has seen it all, with one thing being eye sensitivity. Instead of telling her patients to not wear makeup after surgery, Jacqui decided to formulate her own mascara so those with sensitive eyes, allergies and impairments can enjoy it regardless. I chat to Jacqui about her impressive career as an ophthalmologist, why she chose to manufacture in Italy, and her logo and packaging considerations to further assist those who are visually impaired.

This week, I’m joined by Katherine Ruiz, founder of haircare brand, People Haircare. Having grown up trying to straighten and hide her curly hair, Katherine started to embrace what she was given, while also identifying a gap in the market for hair products that give people the confidence to feel like themselves. I chat to Katherine about how the brand got picked up by Coles, why her products are different to your average supermarket shampoo and the thought process behind their fun branding!

Lanolips is one of those brands that everyone knows about - their products are handbag essentials (seriously, trawl through my expired bus passes, packets of chewing gum and unnecessary paperwork and you'll find Lanolips!). From being used by Australia's top beauty bloggers to being the best friend for chapped lips, Lanolips founder, Kirsten Carriol, has created products that TRULY work! But how on earth has she turned her idea into a hugely-popular brand that we all know & love? How did she formulate such magic? Does she have superpowers? Make sure you listen on for all the goss!

This week, I’m joined by Monica Upton, the founder of luxury leather bag brand, Vestirsi. While climbing the ranks in Mecca’s PR department, Monica noticed a gap in the market for a leather work bag that was functional, stylish and high quality. A couple of trips to Italy later (with one being on her honeymoon!), 10 styles and a carefully thought-out launch plan, Monica launched her first Vestirsi handbags and had instant success. I chat to Monica about how her time at Mecca assisted with starting her own brand, how she created a successful launch from the get-go and how to stand out as a new brand trying to break through the noise.

This week, I’m joined by Sandy Ronalds, the founder of sustainably conscious undies brand, Nat’V Basics. Sandy has done it all, really. She’s done everything from being a gymnastics coach to working in a pie shop, and even had a successful beauty startup. But after noticing a gap in the market for comfortable and sustainable underwear, Sandy took matters into her own hands and created Nat’V, which has made over 8 million dollars in revenue in the past 3 years. I chat to Sandy about what Nat’v does differently than other underwear brands, how she got the brand off the ground, and I learn all about the brand’s ongoing partnership with it girls, Chloe Fisher and Ellidy Pullin.

This week, I’m joined by the founder of Peppermint Grove, Hannah Drury. After noticing a gap in the home fragrance category for a beautiful vessel and personalisation while working full time at a marketing agency, Hannah threw everything at her idea at just 24-years-old and hasn’t looked back since. I chat to Hannah about how she knew she had something special with Peppermint Grove, the reality of managing a growing business, brand expansion, and, Hannah shares her advice for aspiring business owners!

This week, I’m joined by Debbie Sleeman, founder of award-winning oral beauty brand, Polished London. After spending years as an on-board beauty therapist for Virgin Atlantic, Debbie recognised a gap in the market for oral health products after training as a teeth whitening therapist. So then, armed with her knowledge and enthusiasm, Polished London was born. I chat to Debbie about the early days of the brand, why Polished London products are unlike any other oral health brand, and, Debbie reveals the special note she received from Sir Richard Branson himself!

This week, I’m joined by one of Australia’s top hairstylists and founder of ROBE Haircare Lauren Mackellar. After more than 16 years working in the industry and looking after the hair of Zoe Foster-Blake, Dua Lipa, Alicia Keys and more, Lauren’s life changed when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and faced the possibility of permanent hair loss.

I chat to Lauren about her impressive career, her story of finding out she had a brain tumour, and formulating haircare products that placed her as the perfect guinea pig.
