Mireya Lopez is a mother of one and the celebrated host of the podcast Mothering Anxiety. She's built a devoted following by opening up about her battles with anxiety, and by interviewing guests about their struggles.
She's also the wife of a recovering alcoholic. Her husband gave up the drink a little more than a year ago.
We discuss what it's like being the partner of a substance abuser, the many faces of anxiety, and what it was like for Mireya to learn she was having a girl after being treated like her mother's biggest f***-up as a child.
TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss alcohol abuse and suicidal ideations.
