A savvy, uplifting business and life guide for entrepreneurial millennials seeking to find their yay - from the Founder of Matcha Maiden, Match Mylkbar and the Seize the Yay podcast

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

One of the hardest workers you're likely to meet. As a big-hearted and generous entrepreneur, we'd be wise to take her advice. - Emma Isaacs, Business Chicks

Like a best friend in your pocket... the essential go-to for every human in this modern, fast-paced world. - Lisa Messenger, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Collective Hub

Kick goals in your business or career and find happiness and fulfilment in the process - Seize The Yay shows you how to do both.

There are so many wellness and business titles on the market focusing on success and productivity, but not many which encourage you to break that autopilot circuit of 'busy' and flip the conversation back towards what makes you yay.

Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Matcha Maiden green tea, Sarah started her first business after suffering from a case of complete adrenal exhaustion. As a young lawyer looking for a caffeine-free fix to supplement her serious coffee habit, she ordered ten kilos of tea from Japan by accident. Starting up a side hustle to shift the nine kilos of matcha she didn't need, Matcha Maiden was born. With no background in the area, business experience or investment behind them, Sarah and her partner Nic built Matcha Maiden from scratch, followed by internationally acclaimed plant-based cafΓ© Matcha Mylkbar and, later, the chart-topping Seize the Yay podcast. Here, Sarah shows how it can be done without losing your joy or sense of appreciation for the journey.

Sharing practical tips and life advice to help you realise your own career and life dreams while staying grounded and well, Seize The Yay is your one-stop shop for achieving business success. Did somebody say #lifegoals?
