Episode 59: Are Functional Mushrooms Really Worth the Hype? with Dr. Julie Huang of NOON

Mushrooms are everywhere in wellness right now — from lattes to supplements to skin care. But are they really worth the hype? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Huang [https://www.instagram.com/dr.juliehwang], naturopathic physician and co-founder of NOON [https://www.instagram.com/itsnoon.world/], to unpack the real science and soul behind functional mushrooms. Dr. Huang shares her personal healing journey from eczema and burnout to integrative medicine, and explains how mushrooms like Reishi and Lion’s Mane can support focus, calm, and resilience — without the “trip.” We explore how traditional Chinese medicine meets modern neuroscience, why joy and grace matter more than rigid routines, and how Noon’s beautifully designed, sugar-free gummies make wellness feel a little more fun. It’s a grounded, inspiring conversation for anyone curious about feeling better — not by doing more, but by doing it with delight.

Episode 58: Too Ambitious? Why Women Should Refuse to Play Small with Sora Lee

What does it mean to chase ambition without apology? In this episode, Sora Lee joins me to talk about life after big tech, breaking out of cultural stereotypes, and the messy, empowering journey of building her own agency. We dive into outrageous work stories, navigating identity as Asian women, the power of saying no to unpaid labor, and why she wants every woman around her to get rich. Sora also shares her perspective on beauty industry trends, how creators can advocate for themselves, and why she’s leaning into AI instead of fearing it. From divorce and dating to parenting and personal freedom, this conversation is a reminder that achievement isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that ambition doesn’t have to mean shrinking yourself to fit someone else’s definition of success.
