YAY we're back! And this week, with a very special guest - the beautiful, bubbly and super intelligent Sarah Davidson, who you may also know as Spoonful of Sarah. Sarah is a self-proclaimed lawyer turned 'funtrepreneur', who left the corporate world to co-found the incredible Matcha Maiden.

From something that started out as a little side hustle, Matcha Maiden has become one of the biggest names in the industry, being stocked worldwide in stores such as Urban Outfitters - and the best part is that the product boasts sooo many amazing health benefits. If one business wasn’t enough, she’s also a co-founder of Melbourne's plant-based cafe Matcha Mylk Bar, has her own blog, Spoonful of Sarah and also her own podcast, Seize the Yay (which is amazing by the way - highly recommend!).
