LOS ANGELES—Chaturbate hosted its sixth annual Health and Wellness Day online event on Wednesday, Sept. 23. This year’s theme, “Connection, Boundaries, and Well-Being,” brought creators and industry experts together for conversations about “recognizing unhealthy relationship dynamics, maintaining financial independence, and protecting mental health,” a company rep said.
According to COO Shirley Lara, “Six years ago when we kicked off our first Health and Wellness Day event, we had no idea how popular or deeply resonant it would prove to be. Today, it’s become a true creator-focused gathering that’s always looking to offer everyone more—more solutions, ideas, tools, and understanding. Community is at the heart of Chaturbate, and today’s panelists reiterated that in so many incredible ways.”
Creator Mary Moody agreed, adding, “What Chaturbate is doing is so incredibly important for the community, these panels are helping models be strong and independent and I’m so overjoyed to be invited to speak on them.”
Award-winning adult industry star Lisa Ann opened the event with this year’s keynote address, “Brand Success and Wellbeing,” sharing insights on building “a lasting personal brand while prioritizing health and wellbeing throughout a creator’s career.”
“It was truly powerful to be part of an event like this. Being included in Chaturbate’s mission to provide real support for creators in action was incredible, and I’m honored to have been a part of it,” Ann said.
Panel 1, “Affection vs. Control: Red Flags to Watch Out For,” featured Sweetkarmababy, NakedBakers and Delilah Cass, with Dr. Tess Kilwein as moderator. The discussion explored “how to recognize warning signs within relationships and how to distinguish healthy expressions of care from controlling behavior,” according to a company wrap-up.
“You owe it to yourself—and your mental health—to seek out the green flags,” said Cass.
“We are grateful we had the opportunity to share our experiences on healthy relationships with models and members alike,” her partner James Cass added.
Panel 2, “Maintaining Financial Freedom in Relationships,” featured Mia Lee, CarrieMadsin, and Lana_Del_Bae, with Dr. Tracy Moore as moderator. The discussion “focused on financial autonomy and identifying the signs of financial abuse, as well as the importance of creators establishing boundaries to maintain control over their earnings and financial futures.”
“It was a privilege to take part in this panel,” said Lee. “Everyone deserves to understand and control their own money, and conversations like this help make that possible.”
“Health and Wellness Day is about coming together, investing in ourselves, and creating a healthier, stronger and more connected community,” Dr. Moore said. “It is a reminder that caring for ourselves is not a luxury—it is an investment in the life we want to live.”
Panel 3, “Protecting Your Peace: Mental Health After a Toxic Relationship,” featured SaintJade, Mocha Kaia and Mary Moody, with Nicole Aniston as moderator. The final panel focused on “mental health, healing and rebuilding after unhealthy relationships, including strategies for self-care, protecting emotional wellbeing, and finding fulfilling friendships and community,” the wrap-up added.
SaintJade said, “I’m so grateful to have been invited to speak on such an important topic. It’s truly amazing to see how much Chaturbate cares about its community and the creators who help make it what it is.”
“We are deeply grateful to all of our moderators and panelists—and to the viewers who joined us in the chat,” COO Lara said. “Thank you all for choosing to be part of our community on Chaturbate—we’re already looking forward to next year! In the meantime, stay connected and keep your eyes out for our next event.”
