growing up with money trauma and lack of financial security can cause south asians to end up super frugal or super reckless with their money, and in this episode, we explore the latter! whether its wanting to show off to family back home, suffering from poor money management, or just wanting to finally indulge in luxuries you were never granted, our community (including mashnun) could really use some help with their poor spending habits. do you really need that 3rd coffee or that $25 chicken sandwich for lunch? the answer is yes but enjoy the episode regardless!!! :)

welcome to part 2 on this mental health series! we talk about our personal experiences with finally seeking help for our ADHD and OCD and how it's still so taboo to speak on about these issues out loud to loved ones. we talk about the crazy insurance process, finding the right doctors, the long paperwork, medication, and so much more. hope our journeys make you feel less alone and allows you to seek help if you need it :)

mental health is a huge brush stroke topic that we hit on every now and then, but we finally chose to spend an episode talking bout how the two of us learned bout our own diagnosed (and ongoing diagnosing) mental health conditions. even though this kinda stuff can be tough to talk about we know it can be super relatable for our listeners and we should celebrate more normalized conversations bout it in the first place!! mashnun talks about his adhd, mohuya talks about her ocd, and we share the signs and symptoms we recognized that pushed us towards diagnosis. we hope you enjoy and we hope you're taking of your mental health most importantly <3

in this episode, we talk about some of the negative experiences we've had as Muslims in a post 9/11 society. this includes taking off the hijab in elementary school, getting randomly checked at the airport, seeing false stereotypes in media, and so much more. these experiences are sensitive and still relevant today, especially in the climate of the world and islamophobia spreading even more, and we wanted to bring awareness to the severity of the issue. hope u enjoy the paan segment towards the end and our conversations!!
