'I'm very OPEN-MINDED'

THE FORMER MISS UNIVERSE AUSTRALIA IS HELPING AUSSIES TO LIVE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER LIVES

- Sara Tapia

Whether you believe in manifesting or not, the story behind Tegan Martin landing her own TV show is kind of uncanny. “Five years ago I was doing a workshop and they were asking us to get really clear on our goals and intentions around what we wanted in our career and in our personal life,” the 29-year old tells WHO. “I, sort of, answered the question but the person that was teaching the workshop said, ‘I want you to be more specific than that. What is your dream job?’ And so I wrote down, ‘I want to host my own health and wellness show because that’s what I’m most passionate about.’”

So you can imagine Martin’s excitement when she received a phone call last year proposing that very same thing. “I feel really blessed,” she says of her new show, Natural Living with Tegan Martin, which recently premiered on 7Flix and 7Plus. “I’ve been working on it quietly behind the scenes for over a year now, so to see it come to life is quite unreal.”

Here, the former I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! star gives WHO the lowdown on her own health journey and why she’s determined to help other Aussies start theirs.

Congratulations on the new show! Can you tell us a little bit more about it?
