(NEW YORK) — Serena Williams is a big proponent of setting boundaries when it comes to protecting her mental health.
The tennis legend spoke with multihyphenate star Selena Gomez about her thoughts on mental fitness for Gomez’s mental health platform, Wondermind.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Williams said the practice to her means “really learning to shut down.”
“I did this years ago, before even mental health was a topic among everyone’s mind,” she said. “It was more just like, ‘Alright, I’m shutting myself down today.’ Just subconsciously, it was something I’ve always done.”
“It’s so important to just put yourself first, especially mentally,” she added. “I always have shutdown moments. I have serious boundaries and I don’t let anyone cross those boundaries.”
The Olympic gold medalist admitted she struggles with “do[ing] anything for me.”
“I’m terrible at that,” she said. “I’ve said it time and time again — I’m working on it.”
Still, she added that, “more or less,” she at least prioritizes “what I need to do. And then when I’m turned off, I’m turned off.”
Williams said prioritizing her mental health also benefits the people around her — namely her 4-year-old daughter Olympia.
The sports star said physical health is also influenced by one’s mental health. “It’s about being able to kind of manage your emotions and feelings and everything else still be able to perform,” Williams said.
Wondermind, a startup Gomez co-founded, aims to connect with mental health tools and media to support their “mental fitness,” and provides daily exercises “to support focus” according to its website.
“It takes more than an inspirational quote to really change your mindset. Even if you see a therapist (which is amazing), you still need to work on yourself between sessions,” the website reads. “(You wouldn’t expect physical fitness results seeing a trainer only once in a while, would you?) That’s what Wondermind is here for — to give you easy, doable ways to put your mental fitness first every single day.”
The platform also lists a committee of “mental health advocates,” including licensed psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and social workers, who will “share their expertise on the website,” according to CNN.
Last week, Gomez revealed her mental fitness startup was granted $5 million in a series of funding that was led by Serena Ventures — Williams’ own investment portfolio.
Wondermind’s official Instagram shared a statement from its co-founders — Gomez, Mandy Teefy and Daniella Pierson — that explained how they plan to use the funds. “This funding will be used to accelerate the building of Wondermind’s mental fitness ecosystem across our daily online content, CPG products, and original storytelling for all platforms,” it read.

(HOUSTON) — Faith Mata threw Sunday’s first pitch at the Houston Astros game in honor of her sister, Tess, 10, who was killed in the devastating shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde in May. The fourth grader had been saving money to take her family to a game at Minute Maid Park to see her favorite player, Jose Altuve.
With tears in her eyes, the girls’ mom said the family never had the opportunity to bring Tess to a game, but she would be “so excited… She’d be jumping up and down right now,” she told ABC News.
“We wanted them to be treated like royalty,” Astros Foundation Executive Director Paula Harris told ABC News when describing what the team has dubbed “Uvalde Strong Day.” The foundation gave away thousands of tickets and sent buses to pick up 500 Uvalde residents, who either were directly affected by or responded to the tragedy, to shuttle them to Houston. When entering the city limits, the Houston Police Department escorted the buses directly to Minute Maid Park.
Jose Altuve posed for selfies with young fans, and the crowd of community members got to ask players questions and interact with them on the field. Dusty Baker, the team’s manager, said to the crowd of Uvaldeans that his hope for the day was that it would help with the healing process.
Attending with his family, Javier Cazares, the father of shooting victim Jackie Cazares, said he felt Houston’s support, was happy to be at Minute Maid and hoped for a good game. His shirt, bearing Jackie’s image with added wings and the words “Forever in our hearts,” was a stark reminder of the painful event that brought this still-healing community to Houston.
Harris told ABC News the event is the Astros saying to the Uvalde community, “You’re family. You’re neighbors. We want to do whatever we can to help you get through this process. And if it’s just a smile on a Sunday for our game, that’s what we want to do.”
When asked how Tess would be reacting to the day, her dad said, “She’s looking down on us right now, and I’m pretty sure she has a big ol’ smile.”

(DYERSVILLE, Iowa) — The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds will take to the cornfields of Iowa for a game fit for dreams on Thursday night in the second edition of the MLB’s homage to the 1989 classic film starring Kevin Costner.
The “Field of Dreams” game will feature players wearing uniforms modeled after the ones each club wore a century ago, and walking out of the cornfields onto a baseball field adjacent to the original movie’s location.
The Reds will be the designated home team for the regular season game. The showdown will take place in a specially built field that holds 8,000 fans.
Last year, the league started the tradition with a game between the Chicago White Sox, the team featured in the iconic film, and the New York Yankees, with Costner himself on the sidelines. The game was a rousing success, with White Sox star Tim Anderson hitting a walk-off two-run home run after Aaron Judge’s three-run blast deep into the corn in the top of the ninth had appeared to set up a New York win.
Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel told MLB.com he wasn’t sure if it was possible to top the first installment of the tradition.
“I don’t know if we can,” Schwindel said. “It’s going to be tough to beat, but we’re going to show up like it’s any other day, play hard and hope we put on a show for the fans.”
Special care has been given to the player’s vintage uniforms.
According to MLB, the Reds will wear uniforms designed in 1919, when they won their controversial World Series title tainted by the Black Sox scandal. Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of those players thrown out of baseball for the alleged bribery scandal, was featured prominently in the movie.
For their side, the Cubs will have cream-colored uniforms styled after the franchise’s 1929 uniforms that include the old-school logo of a bear holding a bat inside a large red and navy “C.”
“Watching homers go out into the corn, it’s just something special,” Schwindel told MLB.com. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. We’re very spoiled to play at Wrigley every day — a lot of history, obviously. I think we’re going to try to soak it all in when we get to that field. We’ll walk through the corn, sit on the iconic bench out front.”
Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer is also excited to play in such an iconic spot. Farmer told MLB.com he did a project in high school on Shoeless Joe Jackson and the 1919 White Sox.
To celebrate the special night, country music star Walker Hayes will perform after the game as fireworks illuminate the cornfields.
