Published: Nov. 26, 2020, 1:13 p.m.

Hey there! This week I am joined by the lovely Rowena Tsai, we begin our episode by an introduction and tea talk. We get to know Ro through a series of rapid fire questions surrounding self love, what she most values, achievements, failures, and life philosophy. Then, we chat about her YouTube career and aspects like staying genuine, patient, and some words of advice. Next, we move on onto her life in New York City, where we discuss the opportunities, best and worst things about it, and tips for loneliness. We talk about keeping life together, things like staying organised with tasks, balancing all aspects of life, and avoiding burnout. Afterward, the conversation turns to personal development, where Ro opens up about her trajectory, motivation, responding to change, and words of encouragement for the listeners. Before leaving, Rowena shares some of her favourite podcasts.\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\nWHERE TO FIND ROWENA:\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/rowenatsai https://www.youtube.com/c/BeautyWithin\nInstagram: https://instagram.com/rowenatsai?igshid=1buv4ivtss6wf\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nRowena\u2019s tea: Hojicha \nWatch Rowena\u2019s video on feeling alone but not lonely: https://youtu.be/AGPcOlGbOKM\nWatch Rowena\u2019s video on perfection: https://youtu.be/I33yW5C7ikA\nWatch Rowena\u2019s video on energy management: https://youtu.be/gDgk7rsy2Ik\nListen to the Tim Ferriss Show (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/5qSUyCrk9KR69lEiXbjwXM?si=wMdT4kjgT-Ku7JP8BQxgdA\nListen to the How I Built This podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/4iIRTZeMtbDvj4mk80D7yj?si=9D5rvxl_SkmYX3ITLdvOfQ\nListen to the Good Life Project (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/4QnAKEVl78qrvRokw3zy9H?si=moYUo6KJS6ubIEvb22aS4g\n\n\nHERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n\u201cSelf love, to me, mostly means accepting, taking care of, and loving yourself so that you can show up to the world like your best version and most authentic self\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve learned to reframe failures to the point where I treat them as learning mistakes\u201d\n\u201cKnow your why, your north star, your values, and your non-negotiables\u201d \n\u201cIf your why is bigger, brighter, and louder than all the other voices, you can go anywhere\u201d \n\u201cThere\u2019s a very big difference between demanding perfection and striving for excellence\u201d\n\u201cIf you have a good story to share, people will naturally gravitate towards it\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s easy to look outward and judge other people, but, the true magic happens when you turn everything to your inner world and start reflecting or asking yourself questions\u201d\n\u201cWith spirituality, with a belief in something greater than yourself... having that comfort in knowing that you\u2019re not alone, and that everything is beautifully arranged for you, all you need to do is work on yourself\u201d\n\u201cBeing physically alone and feeling lonely are two very different things\u201d\n\u201cIt really is just about trying your best and putting one foot in front of the other\u201d\n\u201cKnow what the ultimate acts of self care are for yourself, and lean into them when you can\u201d\n\u201cThe more you\u2019re able to add these little acts of self care and daily check ins, the easier it will be to prevent burnout\u201d\n\u201cInstead of reactively accepting my circumstances, I wanted to proactively do something about it\u201d\n\u201cLiving in comfort and ease brings no excitement or challenges\u201d\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
