CAKE Partners with Mental Health App for New Series

CAKE has partnered with mental health app Headspace and Lilly Singh’s Unicorn Island Productions for the new series The Mindful Adventures of Unicorn Island.

The 10×11-minute show sees 10-year-old Lilly transported to her happy place, Unicorn Island, whenever she faces adversity in the real world. While there, she learns new mindfulness activities to overcome her troubles and brings those skills back to the real world.

The series incorporates mindfulness principles and science-backed methods throughout to teach children how they can manage stressful situations and gain emotional regulation skills themselves.

The Mindfulness Adventure of Unicorn Island is written and executive produced by Kara Lee Burk. Singh voices Lilly.

“This project is so special to me, and I’m grateful that we can broaden the audience of this series globally,” Singh said. “The problems our characters tackle in this series are universal, and I’m hopeful we can continue to reach young people.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with CAKE to extend the reach of The Mindful Adventures of Unicorn Island through their global distribution network,” commented Sara Cohen, VP of content creation at Headspace. “This collaboration brings the transformative power of mindfulness to children and families around the world, helping to address youth mental health on a broader scale. By integrating science-backed techniques with engaging storytelling, our goal is to empower the next generation with tools for emotional resilience throughout their lives.”

Ed Galton, CEO at CAKE, added, “Working with the team at Headspace and Lilly Singh on The Mindful Adventures of Unicorn Island aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver meaningful and entertaining content. We hope this series inspires kids and families to embrace mindfulness and prioritize emotional well-being.”
