Modern Health, a leading global workplace mental health platform, and Naomi Osaka’s Emmy Award-nominated media company, Hana Kuma, today announces the release of their podcast video series, Can’t Wait To Hear From You. The series delves deep into the psyche of high-performing individuals, exploring their daily connection with their inner voice, pivotal moments that shaped their self-expression, and the effective mental care strategies they employ to nurture their identity. Can’t Wait to Hear From You features two rotating hosts New York Times bestselling author Luvvie Ajayi Jones, as well as renowned YouTube influencer Franny Arrieta.

“I am so excited to be officially launching Can’t Wait to Hear from You,” said Naomi Osaka. “It’s such an impactful series where we openly talk about mental health. Since speaking out about my own experiences, I’ve felt so much empowerment in my vulnerability, and I’ve received so much love and support from my close circle, my fans, and Modern Health. I want others to feel the same and I hope this video podcast series will encourage them to have open discussions and feel less shame.”

“Mental health as a topic has always faced stigma, and that is something we are on a mission to change,” said Alyson Watson, founder & CEO of Modern Health. “By showcasing vulnerable and intimate conversations with high-profile business leaders, sports personalities, actors, and activists, we aim to normalize this topic and underscore the power of aligning your inner voice with your personal purpose.”

The series will premiere on Thursday, March 28 at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET on Hana Kuma’s YouTube channel, with the first guest entrepreneur, author, and former Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix, Bozoma Saint John.

This series serves as a continuation of Modern Health’s partnership with Osaka. The company has launched a series of children’s meditations, developed and narrated by the tennis champion, covering important topics, including how to conquer overwhelming feelings and apply skills like self-compassion. Osaka was also featured in Modern Health’s first-ever Family Huddle series, designed to empower families and caregivers to discuss strategies for building positive mental health habits.
