Episode notes
This week on TMI Tuesdays, we sit down with Ada Juristovski Jemc, CEO and Co-Founder of Vancouver-based body care company Nala Care, for an honest conversation about body odour, breasts, and the stories we attach to our bodies.
In this episode, we unpack the truth about sweat and BO. Is sweat actually the problem? Does natural deodorant really work? And what is “detoxing” armpits? Ada shares the science behind body odour, the common misconceptions around natural deodorant, and how formulation truly matters.
We also dive into the evolution of Nala’s Breast Oil, how the product came to life, and why intentional touch can be a powerful act of self-connection. We explore the shame many of us carry about our armpits, our breasts, and our body parts in general, and how reframing care as self-love rather than vanity can shift everything.
Ada also shares the deeply personal story behind Nala Care. The company was founded in memory of her father and her mother’s husband, Alan, who passed away from cancer. What began as a family project became a mission-driven brand grounded in love, resilience, and thoughtful care.
