Show Notes

It’s easy for staying informed to turn into doomscrolling—and it’s a habit that can spike our anxiety and stress. Join Joy Ofodu for a centering exercise to help you pause with intention and remember to check in with your body while you’re consuming the news.

In honor of Mental Health Month, join us for our very first live recording of the Friends with Mental Health Benefits podcast on Wednesday, May 18th at 12 PM EST. To kick off Shine’s fourth annual National Mental Health Break campaign, Shine's co-founder Marah Lidey will be joined by Jor-El Caraballo, a therapist and the co-founder of Viva Wellness, for a conversation about advocating for your mental health at work. Head to theshineapp.com/RSVP to claim your spot for this free, live event. Hurry — spots are limited to the first 1,000 people who RSVP.
