the matcha diaries

Welcome back to a new episode of the matcha diaries! Or if you're new here.. a big hello from us! This week we're back with a bit of a different episode. We're joined by the lovely Amy from @uol.art as she gives us an insight into her life as an artist and her experiences showcasing her content online.  In this really cosy episode, Amy opens up about her familiarity with comparison, being self critical and how she uses her art as a way of self expression. We also touch on online criticism as a whole and give our thoughts on the Molly Mae scandal that happened not too long ago.  So please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy!

Do you ever feel like things just keep piling up and you have so much to do and it just gets a little too much? Cause same...  In this week's episode, We open up about our experiences with feeling overwhelmed, and try to answer the "Why" question. Is it society that's making us this way?... Or is it part of our psychology?... We did some research into this so you won't have too! To finish off the episode, we share some of the ways that we try to deal with being overwhelmed in a healthier and more sustainable way. 🤍💪🏼 So pour yourself a matcha and join us!

Welcome to our new “matcha chats” series - episodes that are filled with heart-spilling and chatting as if we were on FaceTime about topics we care about. This week is a little different to our usual episodes, as Leo is alone on the mic talking about recent life events, overthinking (and how she’s been dealing with it) and … most importantly her favourite books!  Go to 18:08 if you want to skip straight to the book chat (which is divided into the genres: self-help, psychological thrillers, fantasy, romance & a “no name matcha diaries” category).  So... please do pour yourself a matcha and enjoy listening! 🍵 Follow us on instagram (@the.matcha.diaries) to stay up to date on our lives, contribute to future episodes & tell us your thoughts on what we spoke about!

“Self hate and self love exist on a powerful scale and each choice has an extremely different outcome. And I think it’s really easy to think you’re acting from one, when really it’s coming from the other.” - @its_nicolettemarie In this episode we are joined by Nikki Jahnke, a lovely registered nurse and health coach. Saying that Nikki has a way with her words is an understatement. Her words are thought provoking, inspirational, and allow you to look deep inside yourself! We cover it all in this episode - from self growth, spirituality, living life with a higher purpose, the importance of human connection, connecting with your energy, showing up as your authentic self online, truly practicing self love, the power of your mind against your ‘ego’, and so much more! We just want to give a disclaimer, there is a bit of background noise in this episode and we truly do apologise for it x We want to give a trigger warning for this episode because we talk about eating disorders, so if you think this could negatively impact you in any way, then please don’t listen to this specific episode - but we’ll be excited to have you back next week. If it does please do reach out to friends/ family for support or any professional if you can! So... pour yourself a matcha and we hope you enjoy listening! 🍵 Follow us on instagram (@the.matcha.diaries) to stay up to date on our lives or to let us know your thoughts on the episode!

Welcome back to the last episode of 2021! As we're sure many people can agree, this year has been another unpredictable one.

Welcome back to a new episode of the matcha diaries and if you're new.. a big hello from the both us!  After noticing that we have a few lovely new listeners joining our little community, we thought it was only fair to reintroduce ourselves! We talk a little bit about who we are, how we met, why it took us 2 years to actually become friends, why we started the podcast, answer some random questions, and even share some fun facts.. So please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy! If you'd like to reach out to us or see any recent updates you can follow us on @thematchadiaries. 💚

Welcome back to a new episode of the matcha diaries! This week we're back (in person) to talk about the elusive and much desired concept of "living in the moment". What does it entail, why is it so difficult and of course what can we do to get better at it!  Also (as per usual), we catch you guys up on what's been going on in our lives and ramble lots about random things, including dinosaurs and hoovers... confused? We were too!  So please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy! If you'd like to reach out to us or see any recent updates you can follow us on @thematchadiaries. 💚

Welcome to a very honest catch up - it's been a while since we sat together just the two of us and had a candid conversation with you all, so we thought we'd do exactly that!  We catch you up about recent life events (including cara having a very ... painful... incident on a night out) and talk about how we've been feeling recently. From constantly chasing new highs vs living in the present, trusting our intuition, being too honest (?), seeking validation and recent body image lows - we bare it all.  So please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy!
