💜 In recognition of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting Mahsa Mirabdal, Senior Benefits Program Manager, who manages our benefits and well-being programs across the Americas. When discussing her approach to self-care, Mahsa emphasizes the importance of mental well-being. 🧠 Roku’s partnership with mental health vendor Modern Health has been instrumental for Mahsa in making resources accessible to our employees and promoting self-care as a daily practice. 🌱 For Mahsa, self-care means reconnecting with nature, whether through a walk during work breaks or weekend hikes with her dog. She shares, “It is during these times that I feel most connected to myself, find clarity, and then can return to work with a renewed sense of purpose and perspective.” 😌 Mahsa incorporates various rituals like soothing soundscapes and mindful breathing exercises to foster inner harmony. 🧘 She also highlights the significance of meaningful connections, whether over a shared meal or a talk with loved ones, and the impact on her career. 🤝 “When I prioritize self-care, I’m more focused and efficient at work. It allows me to be more present and engaged with my colleagues and the tasks at hand.” 📈 Mahsa’s insights underscore that self-care isn't merely a luxury—it's essential for thriving personally and professionally. 🌷 #WeAreRoku #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Roku #EmployeeBlog
