“I don't care if people consider me a journalist or a podcaster, or just a girl that talks online every week.”

“Let me be the first one openly to be like 'I'm in therapy.'”

“I have been pitched cosmetics, I have been pitched fragrance, I have been pitched clothing, I have been pitched everything.”

“If I'm honest, I used to be really, really insecure about my freckles and I would do foundation to the point where like people would be like, 'I didn't even know that you had freckles.' Now I think it's beautiful to just lean into my skincare and just be like, this is how I was born. Let's lean in.”

“My listeners have been so respectful. I do have a boundary for myself. I only talk about one of my childhood best friends, Lauren. The rest of my friends have quite normal jobs and just don't really want to be recognized.”

“When you're looking at social media, you can tell which people are floundering all over, trying to appeal to everyone.”

“I'm chronically online - that's all I'm doing all day.”

“The conversation I know I'm qualified to have is the one surrounding women's bodies and how we are treated and valued in this country.”

“I would love to get 'Call Her Daddy' international. I want it to be out there for everyone to consume.”

“Elevating female voices is important to me, but I'm absolutely not opposed to bringing the men in.”

“I don't leave my house. I literally don't. I don't call the paparazzi on myself like some people. I think it's not healthy.”

“At the beginning when we started to discuss wedding planning, I truly had no idea what I wanted to wear. There were no vision boards I had made from when I was younger nor did I create one once Matt got down on one knee and I said yes.”

“Creating content has always been a form of self-expression that has made me feel seen, that made me feel I am worthy and have something to show that I'm good at.”

“I was trying to embody that in 'Call Her Daddy:' Be confident in yourself, and you don't need to be in a position where you feel uncomfortable.”

“I totally understand everyone has different political opinions.”

“When I was playing college soccer, we would always be told to carry around gallons of water with us. I would be walking to my social studies class with a gallon of water, and the goal was to drink the whole thing by the end of the day, but it was just water and I would always be nearly gagging.”

“Although my life is pretty public, the true intimate bond and connection Matt and I have we actually keep pretty private.”

“Social media has completely changed the landscape in terms of the relevancy factor, and that conversation can be relevant for just 24 hours and then it's gone.”

“Usually your gut is not wrong.”

“Unlike other forms of entertainment, podcasts give you the convenience of being able to consume entertainment anywhere, at any time. A long car ride, a dentist appointment, even while taking a shower.”
