Last week, I had the privilege of celebrating 10+ yrs @carebyginger and our origins in prevention. Today, I'm thrilled to share that Ginger will be merging with @Headspace to form Headspace Heath. linkedin.com/pulse/ginger-he…
Takes a Village or a @sesamestreet of characters to show #MentalHealthMatters + kickoff this AM's @Nasdaq opening bell 🔔 ceremony!
Proud to break the stigma w/ the cultural force @elmo + all our @Headspace partners helping stem the tide — one belly breathing exercise at a time.
Always in awe of @Wizdomisms as she stood at the podium reminding us to embrace an equity-centered and prevention-focused mindset.
Movements are built by people who believe in better — a world where everyone can be kind to their mind.
Honored to be part of this collection of changemakers — leaders, founders and funders — committed to the cause.
Special thx @Nasdaq @sehrthadhani for this platform & @KessongaG @Naomi_NYC @torisgreatstory + all our HS teammates for building world-class experiences + support.
If only we had these DH playbooks a decade+ ago!
Sean + Florian's stories from the trenches were spot on. Partnerships are:
+ by default...hard i.e. most won't work
+ take real time/$ to scale + get incentives right
+ but when they hit, can have transformational impact.
1/ Our 5th and final Digital Health GTM Playbook: Selling Through Channel Partners 🤝 🤝 🤝.
We spoke w/ @seanduffy, @flottobrasil, and @kvsingh, and surveyed 36 other founders to get the inside scoop on how channel partnerships can work (and not work!).

Really appreciate the conversations and content @julesyoo & team have been publishing to capture these learnings and accelerate our collective impact!

Here's to the creators, the builders, and all those around the world who understand -- when you're kind to you're mind, you do your best work.
Excited for this @Pinterest x @Headspace partnership as we head in to #worldmentalhealthday2022!
Ahead of World Mental Health Day, we’re excited to announce a first-of-its-kind partnership with Headspace. The partnership will invite hundreds of thousands of eligible creators to receive a free 6-month subscription to Headspace across 20 countries around the world. 📌

I remember when @Naomi_NYC @marahml launched Shine 6 yrs ago. Been cheering for success of their product, experience, & perhaps most importantly, communities of color they served. Big news at @Headspace - we just announced the acquisition of @TheShineApp. lnkd.in/g9z2qTeQ
Since bringing HH together last Fall, we’ve been on a parallel journey to bolster our culturally competent care offering & create more inclusive & representative experiences for our members.
This investment is a big part of what continues to give me purpose in this next phase.

+ going from 0 to 1, importance of "big rocks" first
+ power of resilience & my Headspace meditations routine
+ mental health in communities of color

My heart hurts. No more so than driving out the school parking lot after drop-off yesterday.
Now is the time to create safe space. To relax expectations and give time to breath. To encourage dialogue and community.
And to take explicit action. To supp…lnkd.in/eAmPR_uT

Representation matters. After all, you can't be what you can't see. Seeing my daughter devour "Mira, Royal Detective" -- the first South Asian protagonist in a Disney show -- made this so real for me recently. I especially appreciate how the show artfully…lnkd.in/gR7u8H5n

Brave conversations matter. Tough to be honest, real & raw with feedback, but if you're willing to ask, the best will share. May not be "right” but can prompt you to ask the right ?s of your approach. And become deep, meaningful relationships. After all, it’s about the long game.
Dealing with investor rejection is difficult for any founder. But Karan Singh, co-founder of Ginger (now Headspace Health), turned rejectors into trusted advisors that helped him close future deals.
