Unmasking Wellness

Unmasking Wellness

By: Tonya Rothe
Listen for free

If you’ve ever felt like wellness was built for someone else’s life, this podcast is for you. I’m Tonya Rothe — yoga teacher, wellness guide, and neurodivergent human — and here we unmask the myths of wellness culture: the pressure to be consistent, the guilt around rest, the obsession with “leveling up,” and all the quick fixes that never fit. Instead of chasing someone else’s script, we’ll explore practices, stories, and history that make room for real healing at human speed. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about rhythms and ways of being that actually work for neurodivergent minds and bodies.© 2025 All Rights Reserved.

  • 5: Forget Consistency — Here’s What Matters
    Sep 2 2025

    Is consistency really the key to wellness — or just another myth designed to make us feel like failures?

    In this episode, I share my own story of chasing consistency and never quite getting there — and why that might not be a flaw, but a clue.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why typical wellness routines don’t work for ND minds and bodies
    • How seasonal rhythms can support a more natural, sustainable return
    • The role capitalism and patriarchy play in how we define “success”

    💡 What if every pause you take was part of your wellness practice?

  • 4: Why Neurodivergent Systems Don't Fit Into Wellness Culture
    Aug 28 2025

    When I say neurodivergent, what do I actually mean? In this episode, I break down what ND really covers, share my own laundry list of traits, and talk about why our rhythms so often clash with wellness culture.

    If you’ve ever felt like your way of moving through the world is “wrong,” this episode is for you.

    👉 In this episode:

    • What I mean when I say “neurodivergent”
    • My own ADHD, HSP, and sensory traits (the messy list!)
    • Why ND rhythms don’t fit the wellness script
    • How I’ve shifted from blame → advocacy

  • 3: Do You Really Have to Earn Rest?
    Aug 27 2025

    Rest isn’t a luxury — but wellness culture often treats it like one. For neurodivergent minds and bodies, the need for rest is even greater… and the guilt hits harder.

    👉 In this episode:

    • Why ND folks often need more rest (and why that’s not a flaw)
    • How capitalism + productivity culture make rest feel “earned”
    • A reframe: honoring your rhythms without apology
