Summary
Episode 38 with Nelly Lin & Juno Lee.
"If I'm interested in something, I become the 'go to' expert on that topic within a week or two." — Nelly
"My family thought I was the one with no issues, but it's because I spent so much of my childhood hiding my struggles." — Juno
This is the first time I interview two women at once, but it felt fitting since they are the co-hosts of one of my absolute favorite ADHD podcasts, Two Addys and a Coffee, Please.
Nelly & Juno are two Asian American women who have been friends for over a decade and struggled with undiagnosed ADHD for the majority of their lives.
After many conversations on their shared struggles and their subsequent ADHD diagnoses, they were inspired to create a podcast to share their authentic stories about anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, and a host of other topics.
Listening to their podcast is an emotional rollercoaster and I always come away so fired up and inspired. They are so articulate, and they oscillate between intense topics like burnout within the Asian American community, the myth of the model minority, anti-Asian hate crimes, hyper sexualization of Asian women, and their work life, relationships and their amazing friendship with the speed and agility of two 20-something women with ADHD, dropping F-bombs and giggling the whole time.
We talk about their diagnosis journeys and what it’s like to talk so openly about so many taboo topics and try to normalize how our society views mental health, especially within the Asian American community.

| 1:11.1 | as like a human being. Then you learn from it and then you evolve and then you become a better |
| 1:14.7 | person and owning up to things that you have made mistakes about in the past or like things that |
| 1:20.0 | you fucked up on and being vulnerable and being able to curse and being able to be authentically |
| 1:24.9 | yourself. I feel like when we have these conversations, we do create value. |
| 1:28.7 | And if someone else out there hears this conversation |
