Top 3 relevant quotes:
- “I would always be super jealous of the person that would have a reishi hot chocolate and be like, ‘Oh, wow I feel super calm from this reishi.’ I was like, ‘Really?! I take every goddamn mushroom everyday and I never feel everything.” I was just loading up on everything that it was hard to tell what was making me feel good or bad.”

- “I remember thinking to myself “I want an arranged marriage because I don’t want to make the wrong decision. Can’t my dad just set me up with someone?” I think a lot of women wish people could just tell them the right thing to do so they can just do it but, unfortunately, you have to find yourself and make your own choices.”

- “There are these wellness influencers out there like, ‘Make sure you’re always eating, make sure you’re having your healthy fats…’, but rules of eating always lead to overeating and overeating healthy foods is inappropriate and not healthy.”
