74. Alexa Meyer, CEO of Coa

Today I'm joined by Alexa Meyer.

Alexa is the co-founder and CEO of Coa — a mental health and emotional fitness company offering therapist-led classes.

In this episode, we talk about Coa's mission to become the Nike of mental health. Why we should treat mental fitness like going to the gym. How in-person, community-focused classes help to destigmatize the idea of going to therapy. And why professional basketball player Kevin Love invested in the company.

More from Alexa

Alexa is the Co-Founder & CEO of Coa. After trying to take care of her own mental wellbeing, she was frustrated with the lack of options and asked: "Why isn't there a gym for mental health?" This sent her on a mission to make emotional fitness as inviting and community-based as physical fitness. She started the first "Mental Health Pop-Up" and helped hundreds of people across the country try therapy. She continues this mission at Coa where she uses her background in start-ups, product, and branding to change how the world thinks about emotional wellbeing. Prior to Coa, Alexa was a VP at a fast-paced tech startup, worked at the world's largest brand strategy firm, Interbrand, and studied psychology and consumer behavior in Canada (her home country!).
