The Opportunity
Headspace and Spotify wanted to support a younger audience with mental health and mindfulness content. They decided to create a special limited series within the existing Sunday Scaries show, bringing in a teenage guest host, Gael Aitor, to join regular show host, Dora Kamau.
The Process
After the high level show concept and guest host were set, Headspace brought me in to showrun and lead produce the 6 episode series. I ran editorial meetings to develop and finalize the episode topics, produced and edited interviews, and oversaw the show writer and engineer.
