Naomi Osaka’s Hana Kuma & Modern Health Unveil Mental Health Focused Video Podcast Series ‘Can’t Wait to Hear From You’

A new podcast video series is scheduled to debut on the digital airways thanks to revolutionary cooperation between Modern Health, a leading worldwide workplace mental health platform, and Naomi Osaka’s Emmy Award-nominated media firm, Hana Kuma. Titled “Can’t Wait To Hear From You,” the series promises to delve deep into the psyche of high-achieving individuals, shedding light on their daily connection with their inner voice, pivotal moments shaping their self-expression, and effective mental health strategies used to nurture their identity.

The series boasts two rotating hosts, featuring New York Times bestselling author Luvvie Ajayi Jones and renowned YouTube influencer Franny Arrieta. “I am so excited to be officially launching Can’t Wait to Hear from You,” expressed 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.”

Alyson Watson, founder & CEO of Modern Health, echoed Osaka’s sentiments, highlighting the ongoing mission to destigmatize mental health. “Mental health as a topic has always faced stigma, and that is something we are on a mission to change,” stated Watson. “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 is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, March 28, on Hana Kuma’s YouTube channel, featuring entrepreneur, author, and former Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix, Bozoma Saint John, as the inaugural guest. Future episodes will welcome a diverse array of guests, including actor and activist Kendrick Sampson, gymnast Katelyn Ohashi, entrepreneur Mike Cherman, founder of Lyons Wines Chris Lyons, and a special edition episode hosted by Osaka featuring the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.

This initiative marks a continuation of Modern Health’s partnership with Naomi Osaka. The company has previously launched a series of children’s meditations developed and narrated by the tennis champion, covering important topics such as conquering overwhelming feelings and applying 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.
