What if the greatest act of self-care wasn't buying another gadget or following the latest health trend, but learning to trust your own biology?

In this month's Waste Not Want Not, Tommy Diependaal explores what it means to reclaim your biological sovereignty by making conscious lifestyle choices that work with your body rather than against it. From the food you eat and the labels you wear, to strength training, gut health, sleep, stress, sunlight, breathwork, circadian rhythms and EMF exposure, this conversation challenges the idea that there's a one-size-fits-all formula for wellbeing.

Tommy invites us to become more present, more aware and more discerning—tuning into the signals our bodies have been sending us all along. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that your greatest health technology has been with you from the beginning.

Because true wellbeing is about creating a lifestyle that genuinely serves you.

Mike Handcock has decades of experience as a business alchemist, musician, speaker and philanthropist. He shares what he believes conscious leadership is all about and how people have different “soul notes” and rhythms, why connection and relationships matter – core strengths that cannot be replicated by AI.  We explore how his interests influence the way he lives his life – how listening, accountability, learning from setbacks, ancient wisdom, the pyramids, and living intentionally create a cacophony of meaningful memories for him.

Meticulously researched, world first, trilogy of books that highlight what was once considered ‘conspiracy theories,’ that are now coming out as ‘truths’ across the globe.

Author Tracey Schubert, shares her six year journey in writing and finally publishing her books called ‘From Covid to the End Game – The Luciferian Agenda’ that piece together the intricate entangled web of divisive, destructive, underhand toxic plans to destroy humanity and nature’s wellbeing.

Look around to see the truth behind writer, speaker and mystic, Neville Goddard’s word - “The world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing, within yourself.”

Jeremy Pierson shares the miraculous transformation he experienced when he came out of the closet and chose to fully accept - rather than reject who he believed himself to be.

He reveals how the layered stories he created, carried, and hid behind led him on a paradoxical journey of pain and pleasure, as he juggled life as an ordained minister and ballroom dance teacher while secretly battling addiction, identity conflict, and spiritual experiences he didn’t yet understand.

Jeremy talks about how he discovered why our past isn’t defined by what happens to us, but by the meaning we give it - and that true freedom comes from having the courage to stand up and be who you really are. Today, he supports others to do what he once believed he couldn’t do - drawing on the gifts he cultivated through devotion to himself and being in service to others.

A heart centred conversation with Forensic Scientist Ruben Miller about the delicate balance between professional objectivity and human compassion - and what it means to hold both truth and empathy in the same space.

Ruben shares the cathartic experience of writing his book The Blood Says Otherwise, and how the process helped him confront and release the suppressed emotional weight he carried from 22 years of consciously analysing criminal evidence, while subconsciously holding compassion for the circumstances that so often shape a person’s fate.
