What happens when a kitchen appliance becomes part of a much bigger story? Welcome to Mixing Matters — the stories, lessons, knowledge and opportunities behind Thermomix. I’m Agata Forma, and for the past 12 years I’ve had the privilege of helping families discover Thermomix and meeting incredible people whose lives have crossed paths with it. Yes, Thermomix is a kitchen appliance. But it’s never just about the Thermomix. I’m much more interested in what happens because of it. The friendships formed. The businesses built. The confidence gained. The unexpected opportunities. And the stories you’d never discover just by looking at the machine. On Mixing Matters, you’ll hear honest conversations with customers, advisors, entrepreneurs and fascinating people, alongside lessons from my own journey. We’ll talk Thermomix, but also business, mindset, family, health, resilience and building a life you’re proud of. Because behind every Thermomix is a person. And behind every person is a story. Those are the stories that matter. And if there’s one idea I hope this podcast leaves you with, it’s this: Look for opportunities, not obstacles. Art Cooking Food & Wine Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • The Hidden Lifestyle Benefits of Being a Thermomix Advisor

    The Hidden Lifestyle Benefits of Being a Thermomix Advisor
    11 Oct 2026
    When people hear "Thermomix," they instantly think of meal prep, soups, curries, and quick dinners. But there’s a hidden side to this appliance that rarely gets talked about—the massive personal and lifestyle growth that comes with it. In this solo episode of Mixing Matters, Agata reflects on her 11-year journey from a shy, time-poor mom with a small social circle to a confident business owner, public speaker, and podcast host. Agata breaks down how becoming a Thermomix Advisor forced her out of her comfort zone—helping her master public speaking, professional communication, time management, and social media marketing. She also shares the excitement of earning international trips and incentives while balancing family dynamics. If you're looking for inspiration, new skills, or a positive life change, this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Growth Beyond the Kitchen: Becoming an advisor offers life-changing personal development, including public speaking, confidence, and communication skills. Mastering Time Management: Balancing kids' schedules and business goals relies on prioritising tasks and organising your diary effectively. Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone: Overcoming initial nerves when presenting to large groups or recording videos builds lasting resilience. Direct Selling and Word-of-Mouth: Without billboards or traditional ads, success comes down to authentic networking, events, and social media marketing. Unlocking Incentives: Dedication as an advisor brings tangible rewards like international travel, home goods, and unique experiences. QUOTES "There is also a hidden part to Thermomix that not many people talk about, and that is the lifestyle changes." "When I first started, I was a very, very shy person... I didn't have many interactions with other adults or friends." "I have a Thermomix longer than I have a smartphone." "Over the past 11, 12 years, I have earned multiple incentives like international trips... all coming from a kitchen appliance." "If you would have told me 12 years ago that I'm going to be recording podcasts about Thermomix, I would have never believed you."

  • How Thermomix Saved My Family Dinner During My Hardest Years

    How Thermomix Saved My Family Dinner During My Hardest Years
    4 Oct 2026
    What would you grab if your house was on fire? For Marta, after taking her children to safety, the answer was always her Thermomix. Over 20 years ago, as a single mother going through a painful divorce, Marta invested in her first machine. It quickly became the ultimate kitchen companion, saving her time, stress, and energy while raising two small children with healthy, home-cooked meals. In this episode of Mixing Matters, host Agatha Forma sits down with Marta to explore her incredible two-decade journey. Marta opens up about using the Thermomix for six months without a working hob, bringing it with her from Poland to England, and eventually selling her TM31 model after 20 years of continuous use. She also shares her inspiring personal health journey—navigating Hashimoto’s, diabetes coaching, stage 1 cancer, and insulin resistance. From creating custom fibre rolls to experimenting with sardine fasting and mindset work, Marta reveals how taking control of your food and thoughts can completely transform your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS A Lifetime Investment: High-quality kitchen tools can last over 20 years, saving time, reducing stress, and retaining their value over decades of daily use. Relieving the Parental Burden: Cooking real food from scratch simplifies daily routines for busy parents without sacrificing nutrition or family time. Mindset and Microbiome Are Connected: Healing from trauma, stress, and chronic illness requires transforming both your internal thoughts and your gut health. Taking Charge of Insulin & Fibre: Replacing refined carbs with high-fibre ingredients can help manage insulin resistance and support overall metabolic health. Post-Traumatic Growth: Overcoming deep personal hardships builds the confidence, empathy, and knowledge needed to guide others through their own struggles. QUOTES "If something happened and the house is in fire... first my children, but the Thermomix would be the only tool which I would like to take." "Having the Thermomix made my life much easier because I didn't need to think... I had the time to spend with my children and be present." "My children didn't have any health issues... everything I was preparing fresh, and having the Thermomix made my life so much easier." "Changing the mindset can change our microbiome, changing our microbiome improves our mindset, and slowly we can transform our life." "I want to share this knowledge with people in similar situations so they know they are not alone."
