Mental health is wealth. And for Mental Health Awareness Month 2021, Big Sean is ready to share his fortunes with his new mental wellness series.
On May 1st, Big Sean, with the help of his mother, Myra Anderson, and his non-profit, the Sean Anderson Foundation, launched a five-part wellness series focusing on mental health. A new episode will premiere every Saturday at 12AM EST/9AM PST on IGTV and the Sean Anderson Foundation’s website, throughout Mental Health Awareness Month.
“My Mom had the idea of us introducing basic things that have tremendously helped us and people in our circle and your mind is where it all starts,” wrote the “I Don’t F*ck with You” rap artist.
Big Sean’s new mental wellness series features the Grammy-nominated rap star and his mom hosting therapeutic chats and discussions that pertain to different areas of wellness. The mother-son duo plan to offer insight on how concepts such as sleep, meditation, diet and exercise can help a person get their mind right.
“Sean and I wanted to share some of the no or low cost techniques that we have used over the years to help us attain and maintain emotional balance,” Mrs. Anderson expressed in a statement.
During the first episode, which runs just under 10 minutes long, the Andersons touch on the importance of setting your attention on intention, showing gratitude, journaling, and being thankful, among other things.
