The Well Mind welcomes Zoë Rom to episode 9 of the podcast. Zoë is an athlete, journalist, an Associate Editor for Trail Runner Magazine and is the host of DNF, a podcast focused on telling stories of failure in running and in life. In her podcast, she talks with everyday runners and some of the most successful elite trail runners in the world about their failures. She believes that the greatest stories and opportunities for growth come through failure. We explore this topic and so much more during our conversation. Zoë shares her desire to spot light narratives that aren’t typically front and center, so that she can support people in telling their stories to a wider audience. We dive into topics and themes related to mental health, anxiety, body image, and the environment. We also explore how to buffer ourselves against the negativity, fear, and criticism of the world and our own mind.
