A Message From the Founder
Lissy Alden, an optimistic yet sometimes-stressed high achiever, founded MYNDY to bridge the gap between academic rigor and real-world resilience.
After graduating from Cornell, she took her skills to companies like JP Morgan, American Express, and General Assembly, where she helped develop operational and cultural excellence transformations.
However, she quickly noticed that her intense academic preparation didn’t fully equip her for the focus and mental agility required in the corporate world. Recognizing that her struggles were shared by the employees she worked with, Lissy set out to create a solution grounded in science and practical research, furthered by coursework at MIT. She developed MYNDY’s Mental Fitness framework—a research-backed, proven, and accessible approach respected at institutions like MIT and Google. MYNDY provides methods for practicing and strengthening Mental Fitness, focusing on real-world applications to improve focus, resilience, and overall mental strength.
Today, the MYNDY team, made up of experts, innovators, and enthusiasts, is dedicated to helping users feel their best. And our team won’t stop until everyone is able to take their Mental Fitness into their own hands.
MYNDY. Make it Count.
“MYNDY was a game changer for my daily routines. As a founder, I tend to overextend myself to be more effective – but after implementing the MYNDY framework in my daily life, I’m even more effective but without increasing my stress levels.”
- Ben Greene, Founder and CEO
FAQs
MYNDY is built for the busy, modern professional who spends most of their time:
1. Helping others and/or
2. At work (usually in front of a computer or phone).
They’re usually leaders, managers, parents, or individuals who spend their lives helping others, but have few places to go where they’re supported as an individual.
They also spend a lot of time at or thinking about work and have a hard time turning off literally and figuratively. We know you’re busy and don’t have yet another hour in your day, let alone an extra 30 minutes for something new. We got you.
Great question! Mental Health is a large category that can include our “emotional, psychological, and social well-being.” We break these things down using the “Illness-Wellness'' continuum (HT: Dr. John Travis): on the left side is illness, things like mild depression to severe bi-polar and on the right side is wellness: things like vitamin supplements and self help books.
At MYNDY we define mental fitness as the things you do on a regular basis to prevent illness and promote wellness. Our definition is formally: the sustained and proactive “practice of doing small exercises, to improve the rhythm of your life”. These exercises pull from across disciplines like neuroscience, psychology and behavioral science to practice things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), breathwork, meditation, journaling, drawing, visualization and so much more. The MYNDY model pulls them together in a holistic, easy to use framework for you to practice each day.
Are you dealing with a high workload, frustrating people, or feeling unimportant leading you to feel tired, disappointed, stressed, overwhelmed, negative, burned out or alone? We got you.
We are here to help you change your behaviors by making a do-able plan and supporting you with our accountability system! We help deal with challenges to your mental wellness like stress and burnout to promote feelings of calm, focus and energy so you can spend less time in your lows, and more time feeling good.
We meaningfully complement your workout, meditation practice (see why we’re different), therapy visits, and other wellness routines. However, we are not a mental health company and our tool is *not* a mental health tool - it is a mental wellness tool. In the same way you would never go to the gym and expect to heal a sprained ankle, you wouldn’t come to our mental fitness platform and expect to heal a mental health issue like anxiety or bipolar.
Most likely - yes! That said, it depends on what you’re working on when it comes to your mental health (see the illness v. wellness question below). For mental health diagnoses (anxiety, depression, bipolar), spending time to understand and work through “big T and little t” traumas, and/or going through a difficult transition, therapy can be so impactful. In addition, ensuring you have and *maintain* the right daily behaviors that promote positive mindset and wellness are key - no matter what you’re going through. That’s where we come in! We have plenty of clients who find immense value from the program, in therapy or not, but we do suggest you speak with your Therapist if there's any question about timing or fit given the work you're doing with them.
After years of working with individuals, we are bringing our mental fitness training programs to organizations. We help them to improve focus, resilience, performance and overall engagement of employees. We give companies a simple, research-backed platform for their wellness programming and make it actually-doable given busy schedules and wallets (re: time commitment + cost).
We've worked to keep things simple in terms of our initial pilot so it's super easy for you to opt-in at an individual level (with a credit card) before socializing MYNDY with the wider organization. We encourage leaders to reach out to our team if you’re interested in learning more at team@myndy.co!
