In a world where showing up every day feels like a performance — especially for creators, influencers, and Gen Zs trying to carve out space — mental health isn’t just a conversation anymore. It’s a lifeline. And while we’ve made strides in talking about it, the reality is, most of us are still navigating it alone. That’s why the Pulse All-Star Games: Influencer Edition isn’t just another event on the calendar — it’s a soft landing. A bold reset. A reminder that we’re allowed to breathe.

From shooting goals and relay races to side-line banter and shared laughs, every moment is designed to ease the pressure, not pile it on.

What if sports became self-care — not in a cliché, hashtag-y way — but in a “this feels good and I didn’t know I needed it” kind of way?
Pulse is curating that space. A space where rest is cool, joy is the agenda, and community is the MVP. Whether you’re in the game or watching from the sidelines, the message is the same: your mental health matters. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
