Join us as we journey alongside Zaira Armendariz, who has a BFA in Film Production and her own podcast, Complex, Like Wine.  Together, we peel back the layers of her own experience with depression and anxiety.

Zaira shares her strategies for maintaining mental wellbeing, from embracing hobbies like reading to the importance of setting boundaries. She also offers valuable insights on her journey in job searching post lay-off, breaking down the shame and stigma often associated with it.

We also delve into societal pressures associated with work and dating, and the contrasting views of different cultures regarding work-life balance, offering a refreshing take on the challenges of maintaining identity in codependent relationships and the impact of cultural programming on women. Finally, Zaira's personal experience of racism and bullying further highlights the impact of societal pressures on mental health. Tune in, to be enlightened, encouraged, and inspired by Zaira’s journey.
