Do you understand concepts like code-switching and why the BIPOC community sees the need to do so? While we're beginning to understand that the overall needs of the BIPOC community are different from the needs of the white community, that doesn't mean it's being applied everywhere — like in the workplace. Join us as today's guests, the founders of the mental health app Shine, explain their personal journeys as BIPOC women in corporate America and how they came together to offer a unique mental health space to their communities.

Taking care of yourself is a must if you want to show up for your loved ones and be your best self at home and at work.

On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher talks with Naomi Hirabayashi and Marah Lidey, co-founders and co-CEO’s of the app, Shine, focused on providing a more inclusive self-care experience.

Whatever else can be said about the year 2020, it has at least led to a renewed focus on issues of mental well-being for those open to discussing it. "Even in 2019 there wasn't this spotlight on mental and emotional health," said Marah Lidey, co-founder of wellness-focused company Shine, on the Digiday Podcast. "The pandemic is helping to destigmatize conversations around mental health," her co-founder Naomi Hirabayashi added. Founded in 2016, Shine offers guided exercises and community around mental wellness. "This summer, we knew it was really important to prioritize, you know, Black mental health, specifically, in response to what was happening in our country," Hirabayashi said. Their app notifies users of a daily theme and meditation exercise and is available in both free and paid tiers (at either $12 a month or $54 for a year). According to Lidey and Hirabayashi, the company reaches 4 million users.
Black Lives Matter—and we at Shine stand in solidarity with those fighting for justice. Today, Shine's co-founders Naomi Hirabayashi and Marah Lidey speak to the grief and pain that many of us are feeling—and giving you the space to be mindful and process the unjust deaths of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, David McAtee, and countless others. Takeaways: Remember that there’s power in giving yourself space to cope and process the grief that you are experiencing. If you are a non-Black person of color or white, give yourself permission to stand in solidarity and fight for black lives. If you’re are a member of the Black community, know it’s OK to use this time to do whatever serves you most. More on how Shine is standing in solidarity: https://bit.ly/2ADQIWj

When we feel like we’re waiting for instructions (gimme a sign!) we can forget our power. That’s just one example of the you-got-this texts that more than 2 million Shine users receive on a daily basis. App co-founders Marah Lidey and Naomi Hirabayashi met working at a non-profit just over 8 years ago, and they immediately hit it off. Becoming fast friends, the duo leaned into each other to get through #hurdlemoments like speed bumps in their relationships and hard-to-have conversations at the office. In 2016, they left their jobs to focus on Shine full-time, raised millions of dollars in funding, and began to grow their team. In episode 38, we talk about the challenges they’ve faced as women of color co-founders and they offer-up best-practice tips on how to silence your inner critic.

Nihal Mehta speaks with the talented founders of Shine Text, Marah Lidey and Naomi Hirabayashi on how they’ve built one of the fastest-growing health and wellness companies. Working together at DoSomething.org, they realized the importance of daily peer-to-peer support and seized the opportunity to build a community to help others. In this episode, Naomi and Marah speak about the early days growing Shine from 50,000 to now 3 million users and their approach to fundraising. They discuss the changing model of investor-founder relationship and how keeping an open dialogue led them to a Series A on Christmas Eve. Marah and Naomi also touch on how millennials are dispelling the Baby Boomer Myth of being too broke to invest in yourself and the intersectionality of self-care and technology, especially how important it is today in response to what is happening in the world.
