About my guest:

Sarah is a mergers and acquisitions lawyer turned modern multi-hyphenate or, as she describes herself, funtrepreneur. She first hung up the suits and heels to spearhead the global revival of matcha green tea powder, co-founding Matcha Maiden with her husband, Nic. Exponential growth led to an expansion into hospitality a few years later with world-renowned plant based eatery, Matcha Mylkbar, before they successfully exited both businesses in 2020. She now hosts award-winning podcast, Seize the Yay, which investigates the concepts of happiness, fulfilment and success through meaningful interviews with thought leaders from all walks of life. She is also a best-selling author, sought after speaker and MC, presenter on Channel 7's House of Wellness and brand ambassador.
