About this episode

How are you... really? 

A week ago we did a little check in and asked how you are all feeling. Unfortunately a big chunk of the responses we got back had to do with not feeling too well, lacking motivation, being exhausted, overwhelmed, drained, and feeling sad. 

In this episode we wanted to sit down and respond to you guys. We discuss the importance of finding beauty and happiness in the little things, and share the things we actively do to make our days better. Leo discusses how the practice of 'romanticising your life' has always been a big part of how she lives and through doing so, I ( Cara ) learnt a lot from this episode.. especially when it comes to the power of the mind and our perspective on our day to day lives. We share simple ways to make the typical 'mundane' day.. a lot more beautiful. 

Just know that if you ever need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to we're here! Please don't hesitate to DM us on @the.matcha.diaries.

Please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy listening! 🍵  Also, if you want to join our book club and come meet us in person... you can join us here!

p.s the first 15 minutes is a bit of a chaotic catch up so feel free to skip to get to the juice of the episode!
