Ready to prioritize yourself? For the first time, The Washington Post offers new subscribers access to its world-class journalism and Headspace’s mindfulness and meditation content
It’s time to put those 2023 health resolutions into action. The Washington Post, an award-winning news leader with the mission to inform and empower readers, and Headspace Health, a global leader in mindfulness and meditation, have announced a partnership to make its deep library of content available to all new Washington Post subscribers in a first-of-its-kind bundle subscription.
New subscribers will have access to The Washington Post’s world-class reporting and put their wellness goals into practice with Headspace’s science-backed mindfulness and meditation content that offers a range of tools for managing stress, increasing positivity and compassion, improving sleep, finding focus and so much more.
In 40 published studies in some of the leading peer-reviewed journals in the mindfulness field, Headspace has been shown to have favorable results on outcomes such as:
- Stress: 10 days of Headspace resulted in 11% decrease in stress, 30 days resulted in 32% decrease in stress
- Focus: Headspace improved focus by 14%
- Compassion: 3 weeks of Headspace increased compassion by 21%
- Burnout: 4 sessions of Headspace reduced burnout by 14%
Through the partnership and collaboration, members will have access to new expert guidance videos featuring Washington Post Reporter Amanda Morris as part of Headspace’s “The Wake Up,” a daily video show to help members build a mindful morning routine by prompting them to take a step back from hustle culture.
Since the pandemic, our readers have been seeking out more advice and tools on how to live a more balanced life. We can’t think of a brand that aligns more with our commitment to wellness and wellbeing than Headspace. It is a partnership that marries what these two powerhouse brands do at their very best.
Michael Ribero, chief subscriptions officer at The Washington Post
Coming in March, Washington Post Columnist Gretchen Reynolds will join Headspace’s popular daily mindfulness podcast, Radio Headspace, as a guest host and share her insights on wellness with Headspace members around the globe. Additionally, readers will be able to meditate with their favorite Headspace teacher through exercises on the Washington Post’s Well+Being section.
We’ve long admired The Washington Post’s in-depth reporting on mental health and wellness and are looking forward to bringing some of The Post’s top experts into our app to provide advice and guidance to our members around the world. We’re also thrilled to welcome The Post’s readers to Headspace’s platform and provide support for those looking to prioritize their mental health and wellbeing.
Katie DiPerna Cook, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Headspace
The partnership highlights The Post’s rapid growth in covering wellness particularly with the launch of its Well+Being section in September 2022. Rooted in actionable, science-based journalism, Well+Being aims to lead a daily conversation on essential health topics that readers are thinking about every day, including mental health, food, fitness, emotional wellbeing, disability and internet health culture.
