SLP 528: Gratitude, Growth and the Joy of Living Wild and Well with Tamara Borg
In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Kim sits down with Tamara Borg from Wild Chicks Farm to explore her family’s journey toward sustainable living, holistic wellness and conscious parenting. Together, they reflect on the joys and challenges of moving from city life to a rural property. Living in a shed while building their dream home, growing their own food, and teaching their children the true value of connection, gratitude, and self sufficiency.
Tamara shares how her love of gardening began with childhood memories in her grandparents’ garden and blossomed into a lifestyle rooted in organic living, education, and community. She offers practical insights into starting a vegetable garden, the benefits of mushroom compost, and the beauty of understanding where our food comes from.
The conversation also celebrates the incredible success of Tamara’s daughter Capri, whose tallow based skincare range has become a symbol of integrity, quality, and mindful creation. Kim and Tamara discuss the family’s holistic approach to wellness, from nourishing the body with whole foods to nurturing the mind and spirit through gratitude and simplicity.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that sustainable living isn’t just about what we grow — it’s about how we live, love, and lead by example.
About Tamara
Tamara Borg is a homeschooling mum, wellness advocate, and the founder of Wild Chicks Farms, a space for natural living. On her five-acre property in Sydney, Tamara has built a life rooted in simplicity, connection, and health. She grows seasonal produce, cares for animals, and alongside her children, creates nourishing natural products. Her eldest daughter, Capri, also runs her own business, Crystal Tallow, which Tamara supports and helps bring to life.
Homeschooling plays a huge role in her world. Through it, Tamara shares practical life skills with her children from gardening, cooking, and fermenting food to weaving and whittling bush crafts. These hands-on practices are more than just skills; they are tools for building resilience, gratitude, and confidence.
For Tamara, true wellbeing is about living in alignment with nature, fuelling our bodies with real food, creating a toxin-free home, and finding joy in the everyday rhythms of life. She’s passionate about inspiring others to reconnect with themselves and the earth, and to discover that wholeness and happiness begin with the small, simple choices we make each day.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self Love is getting to know yourself without the ego, judgment, guilt and shame. Who I am solely, deep within.
Her favourite quote is from: Hippocrates “Let food be thy medicine”

Quotes:
My love for the garden started at my grandparents house.
Eating a whole organic meal from the garden is true wealth, true richness.
We shared the same joy for love of nature.
I feel blessed to have the opportunity to grow food at home.
No matter where you are you can grow something at home. Herbs is a great place to start.
To me convenience is going to your backyard and picking a lemon from a tree.
When you grow your own food there is so much you are receiving from giving.
Grow what you grow really well and if a crop doesn’t take off that season let it go. Do the best you can and let go of the rest.
I am going to focus on a crop that is thriving and be grateful for that.
It is not something I can teach, it is something they need to experience. They earn that respect from working on the land.
Conscious connection that an animal was a living thing, and it has given up its life for us to be nourished and nurtured.
If we give thanks to our food, we can digest it better. We are designed to give thanks and to live in gratitude. The more we give and more we receive.
Connection to one another and presence I believe will heal. We are looking to outsource and it is all within. We need to reconnect with ourselves and nature.
No amount of judgement would sway me away into doing what I knew was best for my children.
Everyone does the best they can with what they know. Education is a huge part of it.
Everything I know is something I have been taught myself. Someone has taken the time to share that with me. It is my right to share that knowledge with people to bridge that gap from ancient wisdom to the modern day world. It is my calling to share.
Capri’s tallow skincare line was born from love, curiosity, and a desire to create something honest and healing.
Watching my kids turn their passions into purpose reminds me that leading by example is the greatest gift we can give.
Essentials oil and smell personally takes me deep. I feel grounded, connected and expanded. For me essentials oils are our medicine.
We navigate by having better alternatives.
Go back to basics. Go back to the pillars of health which is mostly all free.
We do have the power. As women we have the power as being our families gatekeepers.
We do have a choice.
You can start from where you are at. Everyone is on a different path of their journeys.
Change one thing at a time.
We have an inner knowing, listen to that.
