This week on the podcast we have Dr Anesu Chinoperekwei. She is an accomplished Psychiatrist who gives us the rundown on how to manage stress and improve sleep. We also share a very touching voice-note from Tinotenda Muguvu, who has battled depression and suicidal ideation and through the help of Dr Nyarai has managed to find healthy copying mechanisms
