This week Yola and Marta welcome you with a conversation about what you'll expect to hear this season. We share how we've been dealing with anxiety and depression during the quarantine, how there's no one answer on how to deal with mental health, removing the stigma around mental health for cultures that don't believe in it, why going on medication is okay, and exactly what being real means to us!
