Headspace: The Rise of the Total Wellness Platform


Listen Later

Join us as we talk to Sean Brecker, CFO and Board Member at Headspace Health, one of the first meditation apps and a leader in whole body wellness space!

Let’s face it, this pandemic has shot up our cortisol levels to the moon! And there seems to be a never-ending torrent of things to worry about from elections to whether we’ll be able to see our families. So, what do we do about this constant feeling of existential crises? Well, here’s where Headspace and whole body wellness come in! Not only is Headspace a one stop shop for meditation, sleep, fitness, mental health, and more, it was created by a Buddhist monk trained in the Himalayas! Can you say zen master?

Sean chats about how Headspace has evolved from meditation to a total health and wellness app. Headspace addresses anxiety, sleep, and mindful movement all with a focus on science and results. We also explore Headspace’s mission to improve health and happiness and how they are approaching that through their content partnerships with companies like Netflix and Sesame Street. Stressed over Squid Game? Put Headspace on and get some peace and clarity. And we all know that if there’s anyone that could use some help with impulse control, it’s the Cookie Monster.

Big News: Headspace recently merged with Ginger (not the root) to form a health and wellness powerhouse, Headspace Health. Headspace Health will democratize mental healthcare to provide the full spectrum of affordable and comprehensive support for everyone.
