Making self-care inclusive

How can we make self-care more inclusive and accessible to everyone?

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. When life gets challenging, focusing on our mental health becomes even more vital. Self-care is one tool that can help us protect our mental and emotional well-being, but it isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each person is affected by stress and anxiety differently based on their experiences. So, the more that we can feature diverse voices in the wellness space, the more accessible self-care will be to all.

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.

It was from our friendship and our own experiences of really feeling overlooked that we knew that we had to help more people cope and process, and ultimately heal on a daily basis, in a way that works for them. In a way that was a lot more accessible, inclusive, and representative of their experiences.
