should we stop striving to be our best selves?

First off - we want to say we're SO sorry about the audio quality, Cara had to record on her phone because she’s at home in Jordan (😍), but we still wanted to upload the episode because we loved recording it... So we hope you still enjoy listening!!

In this episode we do something we’ve not done in this way before! We react to an article which seems to contradict the whole principle of our podcast?? We’ll link the article here, so you can have a read along with us.

We discuss the topics of:

• Are the principles of self improvement and self care toxic?
• Who REALLY is benefiting from Gen z continuously striving towards bettering themselves?
• Does one have to drink alcohol to live your twenties well?
• What is better - blissful ignorance or being being all too conscious of all the bad in the world?

We ended up having a lot of open ended conversations and would looooveee to hear your guys thoughts on the themes we talked about!!

So... please 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, and share any of your thoughts!
