Welcome to Pass Around the Smile's first guest episode with the one and only, Sarah Davidson. You may know her as Spoonful of Sarah, or the woman behind Seize the Yay where through her podcast and book she effortlessly guides and inspires with uplifting, honest and thought provoking content. Sarah is witty, intelligent, and from my eyes, one of the most inspiring business women in Australia who went from the corporate world as a lawyer, to funtrepreneur when she founded Matcha Maiden and Matcha Mylkbar.I received a very supportive and encouraging email from Sarah at the beginning of my podcasting journey, so I thought what better way to begin this episode than chatting about her quote, ‘success doesn't halve when you share it, it doubles.'We dive into Sarah's leap from what was expected to be her long term career as a lawyer to the unknowns of starting a business - with all the fears, blocks and limiting beliefs which came along the way. Sarah has a really refreshing approach as we discuss comparison and imposter syndrome and how we can combat it, so it doesn't take away our inner power.We finish the episode chatting about growth and how we just don't know when the seeds we are planting will bloom! Your hard work WILL pay off in the way that is right for you and your unique path.Sarah's links below:View Sarah's website here!Find Sarah on Instagram here!@seize_the_yay @spoonful_of_sarah Cleo's links below:View my website here!

  We are always told to dream big, but how can you handle that paralysing and overwhelming feeling when you consider “how do I accomplish that”?   In this episode, I am so excited to talk to Sarah Davidson who is an entrepreneur, author and podcaster. Sarah's previous career was as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading International law firm. She then began her own business with her boyfriend at the time (who is now her husband), Matcha Maiden, after becoming very sick with complete adrenal exhaustion in Africa.   Sarah has now gone on to establish a plant-based cafe ‘Matcha Mylkbar', write a book and a podcast, both entitled ‘Seize the Yay'.   Sarah discusses her journey from her early career to running her business and creative projects. She has been on an amazing journey and we discuss how to overcome that all-consuming feeling of anxiety and failure by incorporating joy, happiness and play to achieve your goals.   Sarah has such an inspiring story and gives you real-world tips to handle your own anxiety in your business and personal life.       LINKS: Website: https://emilyosmond.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyosmond/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emilyclareosmond

A classic entrepreneur story usually looks like this: side hustle -> quit corporate job -> full-time business owner. But what happens when your 'dream' life and business start shifting into something else? This is the story of Sarah Davidson, the Co-Founder of Matcha Maiden, and her journey to realising that her business was no longer on the right path for her.   5 years into an accidental side-hustle turned international, trailblazing matcha company, she realised that she was no longer doing any parts of the business she loved. Feeling like she was holding the business back from reaching its full potential, these are her steps to exiting from Matcha Maiden and finally, and truly 'Seizing The Yay' — her personal philosophy in finding fulfilment and joy in life.   This is a very different episode of The Make It Happen Show, but one that is a must-listen for every business owner no matter what stage you're at, because finding what truly lights you up is the key to your long-term success.

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast, we sit down with the Founder of Seize the Yay, Sarah Davidson. She is prepared to seize the yay in life – a life that has not been without challenges. She started her career as a lawyer doing M & A deals and working 24/7 which, led her to suffer burnout. ‘I was gratified by how successful my life seemed on the outside and, most of the time I was in law, I thought I was really happy' says Sarah. ‘But, when you are accepting good, you don't go looking for great' and this is the camp that Sarah sat in for many years.    Sarah shares the catalyst for change which she refers to as the ‘great infamous accident of 2013'. After visiting Africa Sarah realised that happiness and success are not the same. She also, unknowingly, brought home a gut parasite which led to a point where was stuck in a bathroom for 6 hours and was then unable to get out of bed for 3 months. It took Sarah over 3 years for her body to become healthy and strong enough to work a full day again. ‘Previously, there was no part of my life dedicated to re-fulling my body or my mind.' says Sarah. ‘But it is in the darkness that you grow your strength which will arm you for the next chapter.'   When you're running a fast race you need your body to operate like a machine.  Coffee had been Sarah's crutch during the early stages of her career however, once Sarah became unwell the addictive nature of coffee led her to take a powerful step. She left her law firm and become the CEO of her own destiny and started a business. Sarah says, ‘saying goodbye to one thing allowed me to discover something new which was Macha Powder.' She built up - Matcha Maiden until one day, she was able to sell it. She shares her feelings from that time. ‘It brought out a side in me that I did not expect.'    So, now that Sarah has sold Matcha Maiden, started the ‘Seize the Yay' podcast and written a book, what is next for Sarah? ‘I don't really know what my next powerful step is – but I do know that I don't need a step. I've learnt to surrender to the uncertainty. Maybe the world has something in store for me that I cannot plan.'     So, sit back and enjoy this powerful story with the extraordinary Sarah Davidson.   Links:  Sign up to the Powerful Steps #coffeechallenge to gain Tory's proven formula for building a global network, with three coffee dates a week.

Today I am joined by the wonderful Sarah Davidson - founder of Matcha Maiden, Matcha Mylkbar & host of the Seize The Yay podcast. I have a been a big fan of Sarah's for some time now and I love her even more after this interview (total fan girl moment for me)! Today we chat about how Sarah got to where she is today, the happy accidents & sliding doors moment that have landed her in many unforeseen but amazing situations as well as how the entire Seize The Yay concept came to be. In and amongst this, a chat about the danger zone a lot of us are in - the zone where we won't really question what we are doing, unless we are actively unhappy. She refers to this as the autopilot circuit and gives us her tips on how to break this and find true purpose - even if we don't change a thing. We also chat about Seizing Your NAY which is equally as important as the yay, finding your why, rewiring failures as movement forwards and her tips on meaningful self care.We end with a chat about the importance of PLAY & why dreaming big needs to be small enough so you can actually start.I can't wait for you to tune into this one - I know you will love it as much as me!

Sarah began her working life as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading international law firm. While she enjoyed several years building strong professional foundations, she found it increasingly challenging to reconcile the all-consuming corporate lifestyle with her personal passions for health, wellbeing, creativity and adventure. In pursuit of balance, Sarah and her partner started Matcha Maiden closing a gap they discovered in the health food market for matcha green tea powder. Matcha is now one of the world's premier health food trends and Match Maiden leading the way with a very bright (green) future ahead. Sarah has now hung up the suits and heels to step into the business full time. In 2016, the matcha mission developed into a physical venue and cutting edge cafe, Matcha Mylkbar, which is taking the food world by storm. Sarah now splits her time between the two businesses and is thoroughly enjoying life as a full time funtrepreneur. She has also started a podcast, Seize the Yay, which investigates the difference between success and happiness, the importance of cultivating "joy" and showcases the down to earth, human side of her diverse and esteemed guests. The podcast became a book in 2020 and Sarah continues to grow the yayborhood as far and wide as possible.

Sarah Davidson was a young, hard-working lawyer with a severe caffeine habit when she was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue - a condition that left her in a state of constant exhaustion. And no, not even 10 cups of coffee a day could help her.  In a bid to replace her coffee addiction whilst traveling in Asia, Sarah discovered Matcha. A finely ground powder of green tea leaves. Little did she know that that discovery would lead her to start a side hustle called Matcha Maiden and later on, become a full-time self-described fun-trepreneur.  Sarah is also the host of the Seize The Yay podcast and has just written a book, totally transforming what was once her corporate career into a LadyStartup. So how did she do it? She tells Georgia Love... LINKS You can find out all about Matcha Maiden and Seize The Yay here.

Two years later, she founded the trailblazing vegan café in Melbourne called, Matcha Mylkbar and launched her super successful podcast, Seize the Yay.Her podcast is an investigation into how some of the world's most inspiring people find their "yay", whether it's through work, rest or play and any other pearls of wisdom they have along the way.Sarah published her first book last year notably named the same as her podcast - Seize The Yay.

For a second guest this person was exceptional and boy was she both eloquent in her explanations as she was (and is) intelligent!! Spoonful of Sarah / Sarah (Holloway) Davidson is a Lawyer Turned Funtreprenuer and like many other guests I will have on, I was first introduced via one of the challenges I partook in through Body By Finch, which she was an expert guest on. Anddd the rest is history!! Sarah is the one and only who brought MATCHA into the mainstream markets of Australia where it was neither easily accessible nor recognised, naming it Matcha Maiden. Then went onto launching a Melbourne cafe dedicated to all things Matcha (Mylkbar). Not to mention has a Spoonful of Sarah forum, is an Author, has a Seize the Yay podcast and merchandise owner which includes: flipbooks; t-shirts and necklaces!! Since our introduction I had purchased her book and I seriously felt like I was following her life events in symmetry, where her “sliding doors” moments were in fact occurring to me. Not to mention whilst reading I decided to bring this passion project up a notch plus continue to educate myself through this forum which is now called Unearthing Wellbeing.  Sarah's humility is emphasised in spades during this podcast whereby she shares anecdotes, advice, and a giggle with me. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to have her on and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Sarah Davidson, Is best summed up by her overarching life philosophy – “seize the yay”. "As for my journey, I started my professional life as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading international law firm. I enjoyed several years of invaluable learning, development and even exciting travel opportunities and quite enjoyed pretending my life was as glamorous and high-flying as lawyer life appears in Suits. However, I knew early on that the corporate life didn't light my fire and wouldn't be a long-lasting career for me. While my inner geek adored the intellectual gymnastics, the profession and its lifestyle weren't easily reconciled with my personal passions for health, wellbeing, nutrition (I'm a fanatical foodie) and creativity. My chance to “make the jump” popped up sooner than I had imagined, when the “side project” that my partner Nic and I had started as a creative outlet grew itself into a booming business. Out of our own personal frustrations at a gap in the market, we founded an organic matcha green tea company, Matcha Maiden, in late 2014. Within six months, we had grown big enough to draw attention from giant US retailer, Urban Outfitters, who placed a recurring order that could only be fulfilled if one of us went full time. I'm a big fan of trusting the universe and, terrifying as it was, I made the jump into the business that day and we've never looked back. Two years later, our beautiful matcha family is still going strong and has taken on a physical embodiment in our trailblazing café, Matcha Mylkbar, co-founded with dear friends, Mark and Attil Filippelli. If you've seen any crazy green burgers and blue lattes flooding your social media feeds, that was us! While Spoonful of Sarah initially started out as a personal page (mostly dedicated to my all-too-regular foodie adventures), my shift into the entrepreneurial world was accompanied by some happily accidental profile building, so Spoonful is also now “a thing”. This has added speaking gigs, guest articles, content creation, consulting, and more food frolicking to my repertoire and I wake up every single day pinching myself that this is all real life."Follow on Sarah Davidson on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/spoonful_of_sarah/Website - https://www.spoonfulofsarah.com/about-me/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwIf you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

In episode 60 of The C-Word we chat with Sarah Davidson of Spoonful of Sarah. She began her working life as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading international law firm. While she enjoyed several years building strong professional foundations, she found it increasingly challenging to reconcile the all-consuming corporate lifestyle with her personal passions for health, wellbeing, creativity and adventure. In pursuit of balance, Sarah and her partner started Matcha Maiden closing a gap they discovered in the health food market for matcha green tea powder. Matcha is now one of the world's premier health food trends and Matcha Maiden is leading the way with a very bright (green) future ahead. Sarah has now hung up the suits and heels to step into the business full time. In 2016, the matcha mission developed into a physical venue and cutting edge cafe, Matcha Mylkbar, which is taking the food world by storm. Sarah now splits her time between the two businesses and is thoroughly enjoying life as a full time funtrepreneur. She has also started a podcast, Seize the Yay, which investigates the difference between success and happiness, the importance of cultivating "joy" and showcases the down to earth, human side of her diverse and esteemed guests.

Sarah Davidson (nee Holloway) is the good friend who finally not only convinced me to create my own podcast but also kindly offered to edit it for me if I took the suggested leap. So… she is largely why Hear me RAW exists. Thank you. In her own words she’s not the best candidate for a short bio (and knowing her as I do she is most deserved of a super long one). She is a serial rambler, over enthusiastic life lover with an abundance of interests, passions, career changes, lifestyle revelations, adventures, hopes and dreams.This was in fact the very first ever episode of Hear me RAW that we recorded together and it was such an immense joy to do so. I’ve left it until Episode seven to actually bring it to you to give a little breathing space between the intro (where she interviewed me…).In this ep, it's Sarah's turn to shine and it's my honour to discuss so candidly so much of her journey which includes the transition from being a high powered lawyer into a world of health, wellbeing and nutrition which ultimately led to Matcha Maiden, Matcha Mylkbar and all the incredible adventures in between.In this generous, open (at often times super funny … we laugh a LOT) conversation Sarah candidly shares so much about:-Being courageous enough to get off the corporate treadmillFinding your passion and how to start a (sometimes accidental) entrepreneurial endeavourThe supply chain (how do you ACTUALLY develop a low risk minimal viable product and just begin)How to overcome the struggle, obstacles and build resilienceBranding, revenue streams, distribution, e*commerce and how to build a solid social followingHow to keep the buzz and excitement alive when you scale and evolveHow to keep functioning through the day – rituals and routines and how to figure out what works for youBeing unafraid to seize your YAY (find ways to put play into your day!!)For anyone wanting to start and scale a business AND still live a life you love, this is an absolute DO NOT MISS episode.

The ones they’d take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too.Maybe it’s the first beauty product they ever bought, the one that gives them their signature look, or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person.Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today.My usual disclaimer in these strange and unprecedented times; this interview was recorded well before Corona became a common word in our vernacular, so I hope you a) are doing ok and b) enjoy it as a virus respite.Today, my guest is Sarah Davidson, co-founder of Matcha Maiden and creator of Seize the Yay. Incredibly driven and articulate, Sarah has already had a number of careers. She doesn’t do things by halves - and the results speak for themselves.Sarah shared her journey from ballerina to lawyer to entrepreneur to so-called ‘funtrepreneur’ and the products that have marked her beauty journey along the way. We talked about being adopted and how that’s helped shape her identity, how illness led to the discovery and foundation of mega successful Matcha Maiden, her sensible and reassuring advice about taking the leap into the unknown, and the best foundation for acne-prone skin she’s been wearing for 15 years.She's interviewed some incredibly successful and inspiring people on her brilliant podcast Seize The Yay, but I hope you'll find, like me, Sarah herself is equally as inspiring as as any of them. As we’re forced to stay home and maybe reflect on our lives and career, I hope you’ll find comfort or a spark in her story.As always if you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, rate five stars and write a review.

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. Her journey with Matcha Maiden came about after she was banned from coffee after becoming very unwell. 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!). And if that doesn't sound like enough, she’s also written a book which will be coming out later this year. Talk about AMAZING. Even with all of these achievements, Sarah remains so humble and down to earth, and is truly grounded in what she does. In this episode we talk a lot about career, about changing paths, about maintaining wellness even when super busy, and having the courage to take the leap to do what you love.

We are launching Season 2 with an earnest and insightful conversation with the multi-talented and truly wonderful Sarah Davidson. You may know her as Spoonful of Sarah or as the host of her fabulous podcast, Seize the Yay. Sarah's professional career started as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer for a top tier firm in Melbourne but took a sharp left turn when she suffered a severe bout of adrenal fatigue, which saw her exploring other options. It was from this that her first foray into business was underway, in the creation of Matcha Maiden with her now husband Nic Davidson. Their business exploded onto the market and just one year on, they opened their award-winning plant based café, Matcha Mylkbar. Sarah has achieved so much in her life and career to date and is an absolute delight to chat with. One of the things I love about podcasting and this format, is that the shape of the conversation can change dramatically at any point and you can think you're going to be talking to someone about one particular aspect of their lives and then something entirely different comes out of the energy you each bring on that day. This conversation was the perfect example of that. I thought we were going to dive straight into Sarah's incredible journey as a self-styled funtrepreneur - and while we did explore much of that, the conversation went deep into anxiety and mental health from jump. Sarah's story is inspiring and her warmth and candour is infectious. Oh and if you've ever been curious about what goes on on Richard Branson's private island when no one is looking? Then sit tight and Sarah will give you low down on her exclusive retreat and wild bachelorette party thrown by the man himself! You can connect with Sarah through her website Spoonful of Sarah or through Insta as Spoonful of Sarah or Seize the Yay. Don't forget to check out Matcha Maiden and Matcha Mylkbar while you're at it!

“Lawyer turned funtrepreneur” Sarah Davidson was busy climbing the corporate ladder when she started a side hustle with her now husband Nic – a tea business called Matcha Maiden. Within just a few months, they were inundated with so many orders that Sarah quit her office job to work on the project full-time. But over the last few years, Sarah's personal brand has also become a focus, with her Instagram page Spoonful of Sarah attracting 70k+ followers. She's also got a podcast of her own, called Seize the Yay. I ask Sarah about how growing up as a professional ballerina taught her the discipline she needed to start her own business and how she's developed her ability to pivot time and time again throughout her career.

When Sarah Holloway returned from a trip to Africa, she came back with more than memories of an Instagramable adventure. Within days of being home in Melbourne from the trip with her fiancé Nick Davidson, the 30-year-old then lawyer began drastically dropping weight. A few months later she crashed with adrenal fatigue.  Doctors to discover she had been suffering with a parasite for months. During her recovery Sarah took a work trip to Hong Kong where she discovered matcha green tea powder. Sarah and her partner Nick became hooked and decided to launch a social media-driven side hustle selling matcha powder, investing just $5000. Just six months after Matcha Maiden launched in 2015, US retailer Urban Outfitters placed a monthly, 3000-package order for six months (selling across their US stores) after discovering the brand on Instagram. Sarah took a leap of faith, and quit her job to focus on the booming business full-time. In 2016 the pair opened a vegan cafe Matcha Mylkbar in Melbourne, Matcha Mylkbar. Sarah has gone on to launch a podcast, Seize The Yay.

As one of the pioneering leaders of the wellness world, starting out before Instagram even existed, Jess Sepel has built her personal blog into a multi-faceted booming business changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of the members of her highly engaged, loyal and nurturing JSHealth community. Jess was just 14 when she developed an eating disorder as she grappled with her new environment after moving from South Africa to Australia and I'm so grateful for how openly she shares her struggles and the process of healing in this episode. Having been confronted with how far she had strayed from looking after herself during her studies in Health Science at Macquarie and later nutritional medicine, Jess has since devoted herself to helping others nurture positive relationships with nutrition, exercise and themselves and has now written several books, developed an 8-week transformative program, has an incredible App, has built a hugely successful range of JSHealth Vitamins and continues to innovate to help us be our best selves.

Today’s Game Changer Chat is with such an exciting extremely insightful entrepreneur, Sarah Holloway !Sarah began her working life as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading international law firm. While she enjoyed several years building strong professional foundations, she found it increasingly challenging to reconcile the all-consuming corporate lifestyle with her personal passions for health, wellbeing, creativity and adventure. In pursuit of balance, Sarah and her partner started Matcha Maiden closing a gap they discovered in the health food market for matcha green tea powder. Matcha is now one of the world's premier health food trends and Matcha Maiden is leading the way with a growing community of over 1500 stockists including Anthropologie across the USA, Australian and US warehouses, and a very bright (green) future. Sarah has now hung up the suits and heels to step into the business full time. In 2016, the matcha mission developed into a physical venue and cutting edge cafe, Matcha Mylkbar, which is taking the food world by storm. Sarah now splits her time between the two businesses and is thoroughly enjoying life as a full time funtrepreneur.

So, it finally happened. We convinced Nic, my partner in life, business and golden retriever parenthood into coming onto the show. I know a few of you have been eagerly waiting to hear this one and I'm always surprised to hear when people say Nic's quiet or mysterious but then I remember he's actually quite shy (which to some of our closer friends is laughable as he's the OPPOSITE once you get to know him). When I think about how he probably comes across in my stories or in take 527 of a photo together, you probably don't see much of who he really is or how we are as a couple so I'm excited to share what I think is one of the most inspiring ways to yay so far. One of the things I love about him most is that there are so many dimensions to his personality, but if you only know one of them then you'll meet a few of the others in today's episode! And perhaps I'm a bit the same – we're both equal parts nerdburger and arty farty” as I always say which is why we're 10 years in and getting married later this year! As for his bio which I've had to write many a time, it still astounds me all the things he's managed to squeeze into his 34 years. I don't think he gives himself enough credit for most parts of the story, so I've tried to weasel some of it out of him. Starting off as a country boy in outer Devonport, Tasmania, Nic's a serial entrepreneur and often laughs at how he's never actually had a real job. His first career was as an international athlete which took him all over the world and, as mentioned in Jana's episode, he was Jana Pittman's training partner on his own Olympic journey until ongoing injury stopped his career short. On returning to Melbourne, he was poached from his retail job into the night club scene where he really cut his business teeth building Baroq House into its glory days and let me queue jump which is the romantic story of how we met. While there was definitely a lot of partying, he and his team started to develop their own marketing and design skills to take things in-house, which eventually morphed into his current full service digital agency, the Bushy Creative. His self-teaching and inner dork has gone to such lengths that Nic's tech skills ventured even as far software development and he's had two full scale tech spin offs that he talks about in the episode. He's also got an aerial asset capture business taking photos out of helicopters and that's all before Matcha Maiden or Matcha Mylkbar were even a dot on the horizon. So sometimes, he's a very serious tech head businessman but most of the time he's a serial joker – life is NEVER boring when Nic's around. He's the sole reason I was able to leave law for my funtrepreneur life and turned this regimented, conservative lawyer into a crazy adventurer. His abs aren't bad either, as you've probably noticed. This was the hardest episode I've done so far as I'm way too close to be objective so hopefully I've done him justice!

This humble side project has evolved into a business with over fifteen hundred stockists, eighty-seven thousand Instagram followers and the launch of an award-winning, sustainability-driven café.Plus, in this episode, you’ll learn about the ‘trickle-down effect’ and how to know when a fleeting food trend will become a more mainstream, mass-appeal opportunity.You can learn more about Matcha Maiden and Matcha Mylkbar, and connect with Sarah and Nic on:https://www.matchamaiden.com/https://www.instagram.com/matcha_maiden/?hl=enhttp://www.matchamylkbar.com/https://www.instagram.com/matcha_mylkbar/?hl=enMany thanks to this episode’s sponsor, the Monash Food Innovation Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Sarah Holloway thought she had her life planned out. She'd studied Arts/Law, graduated top of her class, secured a job at a top-tier law firm in mergers and acquisitions, and soon after had received an offer to become an associate to the Chief Justice of the High Court – a position she’d been working towards for the previous six years. At the very same time her career was taking off, Sarah was busy launching her side-biz ‘Matcha Maiden’, which was born out of her recognizing a gap in the Australian market for matcha-based products. By 2015, and after a year of selling her products locally, it all became real when she was approached by US retailer Urban Outfitters with an order of 10,000 units. Sarah was forced to make a huge life decision – accept the High Court position or quit her job and fulfil the order. Fast forward to now, Matcha Maiden is stocked globally, Sarah and her team have opened a vegan restaurant called Matcha Mylkbar in Melbourne, and the business was recently accepted into the Chobani Incubator program – the first of its kind in Australia.

Lawyer turned funtrepreneur Sarah Holloway says it best. I wouldn’t say I’m the best candidate for a “short bio” because I’m not only a serial rambler but also an overenthusiastic life lover with too many interests, passions, career changes, personal transformations, lifestyle revelations, adventures, hopes and dreams for one single lifetime. I nonetheless do my very best to squeeze in as much goal-kicking, ground-breaking and memory-making as life permits and I’d say I’m best summed up by my overarching life philosophy – “seize the yay”.

Nat and Jenn discuss how to make difficult career decisions including the benefits of values-based decision making, differentiating internal and external motivators and addressing cognitive biases.
