LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, March 30,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation
(NYSE: MDP) brands MyLife, a personalized mindfulness and
emotional wellness app for kids and adults, and PARENTS, the
leading source for busy, millennial moms, are teaming up to create
a new mindfulness program aimed at helping overburdened moms.
Launching in the MyLife app on March
30th, the 7-part program, "Quick Mental Unloads for
Moms" will be a collection of short, powerful activities that
supports busy moms.
The special curated section, which can be completed on any
schedule or in any order, will offer everything from simple ways to
help moms forgive themselves to self-compassion exercises, along
with a selection of meditations, yoga moves, and reflections to
give moms the care they deserve. Each of the activities range in
length from 3 minutes to 12 minutes.
Julia Dennison, Digital Content
Director of PARENTS, said, "As a working mom with a young daughter,
I'm proud to partner with MyLife to create this new series to help
parents deal with the stress and anxiety that's been exacerbated
for so many in the last year. I'm always focused on providing our
audience with expert advice and solutions to everyday parenting
issues, and this new program takes it to the next level by offering
an experience they can interact with in real time and at their
convenience."
As part of the brand's overall effort to support moms, PARENTS
hosts a digital content series called Project Mental
(Un)Load that's all about bringing attention to the invisible
load and unspoken burdens of parenthood to get the change needed
for parents to thrive. This content spotlight can be found here:

"A year into this pandemic, stress and anxiety has reached
epidemic levels, especially for moms. We were already carrying so
much emotional weight, and now there's even more pressure," says
MyLife Cofounder Jamie Price. "Just like the airplane rule, it
helps when parents put their own oxygen mask on first. We need to
sustain our own emotional wellness in order to be able to support
our families. Study after study has shown that just a few minutes
per day of mindfulness can significantly improve our mental
well-being. This can be as simple as pausing to reflect while
brushing your teeth."
A recent report from Bright Horizons Family Solutions found that
working moms are three times more likely to manage the children's
schedules and household responsibilities than working dads. And,
according to a recent Meredith Corporation study on the Post-Normal
Consumer, 39% of moms said their mental health declined during the
pandemic.
The MyLife app is available on iOS, Android and Amazon Alexa and
online at my.life.
