<description><![CDATA[Welcome to I AM REAL. A mental health and wellbeing podcast hosted by journalist Yola Robert and actress-writer-producer Marta Pozzan. Both Yola and Marta live with mental illness and have spent years working with their mental health to overcome their traumas. As mental health advocates, the pair joined forces to create I AM REAL to help their community of listeners overcome, manage, and improve their journey towards mental health. Each week Yola and Marta open up with guests from all different backgrounds to discuss how to navigate mental health and wellbeing paired with what means to be real in your own skin. You can expect to hear inspiring stories while learning about different kinds of therapies, meditation practices, types of mental illness, biohacking solutions, healthy lifestyle habits, and ways to get you out of a funk!

<p>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 <em>one</em> 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 <em>real</em> means to us!</p>
