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.

✨ Before You Go…
If this episode spoke to you—even in a small way—would you take 10 seconds to share it?
With just one woman. One friend. One person who might need to feel a little less alone in her struggle.
Tell her what resonated for you. Ask what landed for her.
Because when we share what moves us, we create deeper connection—with others and with ourselves.
