Lila Moss Teams With Calm and Omnipod to Launch Mindfulness Collection for Diabetes Management

Lila Moss may be slightly hoarse from cheering on England’s soccer team in the World Cup this past weekend, but prior to that she lent her voice to a new partnership between mindfulness platform Calm and insulin pump brand Omnipod.

The partnership offers a suite of tailored mindfulness resources called “The Mind in Range Collection,” which includes a sleep story narrated by the model, who is an Omnipod user living with type 1 diabetes. 

“I’m someone to give perspective,” she said of why this particular project was important to her.

“Calm has been a big part of my life. There’s one in particular called ‘The Gratitude One’ by Tamara Levitt, and I listen to it a lot when I’m on the plane or any time trying to go to sleep. I love her voice,” she continued. “Then obviously just being a voice for so many kids and even adults. Diabetes can obviously be very loud and takes up a lot of brain space and it’s just all-consuming and so to have something that you can take and just any time of the day have a quiet moment to relax and also feel seen and heard as well is obviously so important.”

In addition to Moss’ sleep story, there is a series of guided meditations to help manage stress and restore balance during moments of feeling overwhelmed and a breathing exercise designed to calm the mind and body, ideal for quick resets throughout the day.  This collection will become available on Tuesday.

With 359 million people worldwide living with an anxiety disorder, and people with diabetes being 20 percent more likely to develop anxiety, this initiative reinforces Omnipod owner Insulet’s commitment to whole-person care and positions mental health as essential to diabetes management, according to the brand.

As for Moss, she hopes that by sharing her experience, she can help others.

“So much of what I do is about highlighting the importance of awareness and just being confident about having diabetes and not having stigma around it,” she said, adding that she receives a lot of messages about it via Instagram. “Sometimes I’ll be just going about my day, and I’ll open a message, and it’s just like really life changing. Obviously, you can’t reply to every single one, but by doing this, I think it’s almost just like that general voice of like, ‘I’m here and we’re all going through it together, and breathe in and breathe out.’”

As for her go-to daily wellness practices, she said: “If you don’t have access to a phone or headphones or anything, and you’re sitting by yourself, and you’re with loads of people, I do breathe in and breathe out four and six a lot. I like to listen to the noises around me. I feel like that can help a lot. I like to be very present, and then also, just think about like all the other people who are going through it with you, and all the love that you’ve been shown from your support system, or even anyone you’ve met. And if you do have access to headphones, listen to the gratitude [story] by Tamara Levitt.”

Already rich, already successful, why the last wave of tech winners is grinding again | TechCrunch<div> <p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">A pattern is emerging among people who’ve already made it big. They’re rolling up their sleeves again, seemingly out of fear of missing AI’s defining moment and, presumably, the irresistible allure of making even more money — potentially a lot more.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tom Blomfield, who co-founded GoCardless and Monzo before spending 4.5 years mentoring founders as a Y Combinator Group Partner, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/t_blom/status/2076580921398931788">announced on Monday</a> that he is taking a leave of absence to join Anthropic’s compute team — not as an executive, but as a member of technical staff.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">He’s not alone in making that kind of move. Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger joined Anthropic as Chief Product Officer in 2024, and Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI who went on to lead AI at Tesla and start his own company, Eureka Labs, joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May, framing the decision almost identically to Blomfield’s, writing that “the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/karpathy/status/2056753169888334312">especially formative</a>.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not everyone is joining someone else’s lab. Chamath Palihapitiya, the “SPAC King” who has mostly stuck to boardrooms and all things “<a rel="nofollow" href="https://allin.com/about">All In</a>” since leaving Facebook in 2011, just took his first full-time operating role in over a decade as CEO of 8090 Labs, his enterprise AI coding startup, which he announced a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/chamath-palihapitiya-raises-135m-series-a-for-his-ai-coding-startup-takes-ceo-role/">couple of weeks ago</a> along with a $135 million Series A led by Salesforce Ventures. Wrote Palihapitiya on X, “I am convinced that what we are building now is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/chamath/status/2071571183665881515">even more important</a>, so there was no decision to make except to be all in.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, Eric Wu, who ran Opendoor for a decade before stepping back in 2023, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ericwu01_today-im-launching-my-newco-navigateai-activity-7465104509158150145-eWF6/">recently launched</a> NavigateAI, an AI “copilot” for construction workers, with $25 million in seed funding. Wu told me directly on a recent call about his decision to dive into an AI startup, “I knew if I looked back in 10 years and didn’t do something related to it, I would probably regret that.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The clearest sign of how keen people who’ve already “made it” are to work on what they view as the still-early-innings of AI might be the job title itself. “Member of technical staff” is the deliberately flat, non-hierarchical label that Anthropic and OpenAI use for nearly everyone on their technical teams, regardless of seniority. It’s the same title Blomfield is taking. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s also the title that Peter Bailis took this March, just months after becoming Workday’s CTO, a role overseeing AI strategy across an $8 billion-revenue business. Bailis lasted less than a year before <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/workday-cto-trades-title-member-of-technical-staff-anthropic-openai-2026-4">trading it</a> for a spot at Anthropic.</p> </div><p><em>When you purchase through links in our articles, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards/">we may earn a small commission</a>.
