Selena Gomez is launching her new platform called Wondermind
In conversation with GMA, Selena Gomez shared that she is starting Wondermind, a mental wellness brand that offers free online tools, with her mother, Mandy Teefey, and entrepreneur Daniella Pierson.
The platform, as Pierson described it, aims to normalize talking about these mental conditions that maybe people thought they knew about but express themselves in different ways in different individuals.
Wondermind will provide content, tools, and exercises vetted by an expert committee comprised of the best psychiatrists, therapists, and social workers in the world.
In the interview, Selena Gomez explained how her own struggles with mental health led her to create the platform.
She further explained how she wants to be known for the ways she cares about people.
In 2020, while talking to Miley Cyrus during an Instagram Live session, Gomez revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Earlier in 2016, Selena Gomez revealed that she had anxiety, panic attacks, and depression as side effects of lupus.
