Notable Quotes

"Finding your core values isn't just about what you think you should care about, it's about what actually lights you up in real life." - Angelyn (referencing Dr. Pooja Lakshmin)

"I think it really just brings or sheds light on the fact that when you plan something, it really brings that attention to what makes you feel happy, what lights you up." - Amy

Key Takeaways:

Your dream party preferences reveal deeper truths about your core values
How you approach planning (or avoiding planning) reflects important aspects of your personality
Small details like food choices and entertainment preferences contain valuable insights
