What does it mean to choose your family? And how do we protect those bonds in an industry that doesn’t always feel real? In this heart-centered episode, Zenya sits down with one of her closest friends, singer and songwriter Dessy Di Lauro (@dessydilauro), for a vulnerable and grounded conversation about friendship, loyalty, and navigating the entertainment industry with your heart still intact.

Zenya and Dessy explore the importance of chosen family, the deep friendships that often become stronger than blood and how to maintain those connections when life and career get chaotic. Together, they reflect on the sacredness of showing up for one another, the healing power of community, and what it means to hold space when the world can feel transactional.
