the matcha diaries

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!

Here is Part 2 of our episode with our very first MALE guest on the pod - Ed! Ed is extra special because he's none other than Cara's boyfriend who very kindly is joining us in this episode to open up and talk honestly about his experiences growing up as a male in today's society. In part 2.. Ed further opens up about his journey with comparison and reflects on the advice he would give to other young men out there that might be experiencing the same thing! He continues to give us an insight into the hardships of showing emotion in today's society and the challenges that come with that!  This episode is 100% interesting for females and males alike and definitely opened our own eyes... 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. 💚

This episode is a little bit of a different one ... instead of our usual girlie chat, we have our very first MALE guest on the pod - Ed! And Ed is extra special because he's none other than Cara's boyfriend who very kindly is joining us in this episode to open up and talk honestly about his experiences growing up as a male in today's society.  We talk about everything from body image, comparison, stereotypes, being emotional, #notallmen to locker room chat. This episode is 100% interesting for females and males alike and definitely opened our own eyes...  So please pour yourself a matcha and enjoy!

The leaves are changing, its getting colder and we're here for it!  There’s something about autumn... wearing your favourite sweaters, drinking warm drinks ( pumpkin spice lattes) , the leaves are changing, and even though the weather is getting colder, you’re surrounded by warm colours, cosy blankets, your favourite movies, and have some time to be nostalgic. In this weeks episode we thought we’d share some of our favourites for the season ( candles, series, routines ) and share some spooky stories to get us ready for the season! So pour yourself a matcha and join us! If you want to reach out to us or see any recent updates you can follow us on @thematchadiaries. 💚

Aging is a seemingly odd topic to talk about in a podcast all about navigating your twenties but for some reason it was on our minds so we thought we'd talk about it!  As always when we dive deep into a topic - we share our thoughts, hopes worries and fears. But we also sprinkle in some research/stats about the gender disparity that exists as we age (spoiler alert - it made us mad), as well as some thoughts about how social media and celebrity culture is further perpetuating the need to look increasingly younger.   So pour yourself a matcha and join us!

Every representation in media and culture has told us that our 20’s should be the best years of our life. The years where we are surrounded by a group of friends, laughing, drinking, and going to parties and bars... But loneliness in your twenties is a real thing and so many of us go through it!  Join me for a quick episode, where I bring light to the circumstances that can make us feel this way, and touch upon the ways that we can help each other feel less alone! So pour yourself a matcha and join us!

Join us for an honest conversation about relationships & love in part 2 of our ‘truth or drink’ episode 🥂 We open up about the highs and lows of being in a relationship/single in your 20s, question the concept of marriage & divorce, and touch on how a women’s worth in society is measured by all of this! So pour yourself a matcha and join us! If you want to reach out to us or see any recent updates you can follow us on @thematchadiaries.💚

The tea (or in this case champagne) quite literally gets spilled in this episode... get ready for a messy 'truth or drink' episode with cara and leo! 🥂 We answer questions from "what was your most embarrassing moment" to "what are your thoughts about sex before marriage"... and we definitely don't hold back. Get ready for our most honest chat yet (and potentially damaging to your ears)... So pour yourself a matcha and join us!
