Join us as we talk to Reece Carter.

At 27, just six weeks after moving to LA, Reece was diagnosed with testicular cancer. In this episode, he shares the importance of trusting your instincts and seeking a second opinion if something feels off.

Reece recalls spending the day before surgery at Disneyland - his right testicle’s "last outing" - and shares his experience navigating treatment in the US, which was fortunately covered by his travel insurance.

Reece now resides in Sydney, and this April will mark 10 years since his diagnosis. On April 1st, he will celebrate the release of The Lost Notes of the Soul Spinners, the third book in his series.

Join us as we talk to Jess Armstrong.

After facing breast cancer in 2023, Jess - founder, and director of FUCA Organic Skincare - found herself frustrated by the lack of effective skincare for chemo and radiation sensitised skin.

The products recommended to her were filled with unnecessary fragrances and fillers, ingredients she no longer wanted in her beauty and personal care routine.

With a background in product development and marketing, Jess knew she could do better. She set out to create FUCA, a line of fragrance-free, sophisticated formulas designed for even the most reactive, irritated skin - without compromising on aesthetics.

Beyond building her brand, Jess is passionate about giving back. She supports Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and donates FUCA products to those undergoing treatment in oncology wards, ensuring others facing similar challenges have access to the gentle, effective skincare they deserve. In this episode, she shares her journey from diagnosis to entrepreneurship, her passion for clean skincare, and how FUCA is redefining the industry for those who need it most.
