Join Tracy as she welcomes her guest Mrinal to Episode 129 of her podcast, ADHD for Smart Ass Women. Mrinal is a writer, business analyst, and mental health advocate based in the Midwest. She just published her first book, Saaya Unveiled: South Asian Mental Health Spotlighted, to increase education and acceptance on mental health in the South Asian diaspora. Her future goals include teaching self-defense and developing a health and wellness app.

Mrinal shares the circumstances surrounding her ADHD diagnosis, her struggle with school, what has changed since she was diagnosed, what made her write her book, the model minority stereotype, how the model minority stereotype impacts ADHD, mental health, and affects self-esteem and increases shame, what ADHD strengths make her good at her job, her key to living successfully with ADHD, and her ADHD workaround.
