Storytelling is powerful—it can heal, inspire, and connect. But without care, it can also harm, misrepresent, or re-traumatize. In this insightful conversation, Thomas Wilson, founder of RH Creative Advocacy and Storytelling, shares how to tell your story with both authenticity and responsibility.
Through his work in the mental health and neurodiverse communities, Thomas has developed a deep understanding of how to balance vulnerability with boundaries, so that your story empowers rather than overwhelms. This episode will shift the way you think about sharing your truth, especially in the age of social media.
Key Takeaways:
Storytelling is both a personal right and a community responsibility—your words have power, and with that power comes accountability.
Vulnerability creates connection, but it must be balanced with healthy boundaries to protect both yourself and your audience.
Not all visibility has to come through one platform—choose the avenues that align with your well-being and strengths.
Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re safety rails that allow you to share more effectively and sustainably.
Accountability in storytelling means considering the potential impact of your words while staying true to yourself.
Connection starts with honesty, clarity about your role in relationships, and the courage to say “no” when needed.
