If we were on TikTok right now, I’d be referring to myself as an “anxiety girlie” and as such, I have tried many, many anxiety coping mechanisms and recently, I discovered the Quiet Mind weighted pillow and I am super in love.
And joining me today on the podcast is Mikey Goldman, creator of Quiet Mind. We talk through where the idea came from, and a few of his big backers, like Nick woodman of GoPro and Chad Hurley of YouTube.
We also discuss the reasons Mikey created Quiet Mind – a diagnosis of ADHD and managing the symptoms that came with taking multiple medications – and how surprising it was to him that a weighted pillow didn’t exist already.
