## Resource

Somewhere along the way, wellness turned into another job: more metrics, more products, more pressure. This episode is for anyone who has felt like they were failing a wellness plan that was never built for them, and is ready to ask what wellness could actually be. Host Nazish sits with advocate and storyteller Thomas R. Wilson on reimagining wellness as a personal experiment rather than a product. Thomas speaks candidly about neurodiversity, depression, self-worth, and learning to listen to his own life instead of the mainstream script. About the Guest: Thomas R. Wilson is a writer, advocate, storyteller and speaker who founded R&H Creative Advocacy and Storytelling. Drawing on lived experience of neurodiversity and mental health, he uses storytelling to build inclusive spaces around wellness. Key Takeaways: Mainstream wellness is often sold as a product. When it fails, question the product, not yourself. There is no single path to wellness. Finding your own is the point. Listening to your body starts with self-worth, not more rules. Reframe setbacks by asking what you can learn from them.
