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.
