Unmasking the Pressure: ADHD, Mental Health, and the Cost of Fitting In With Chaya Mallavaram CEO of Sparkslaunch

This unmasking the pressure episode is something special. I had the absolute pleasure of cohosting with Chaya Mallavaram, CEO of Spark Launch, and we dove deep into the reality of masking, the mental exhaustion of trying to “fit in,” and the power of owning who you truly are. This conversation hit home in so many ways—letting go of expectations, finding inner peace, and realizing that authenticity is everything. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to hide parts of yourself just to be accepted, this one’s for you.
