Are We Well?
Hi, I'm Neelam—a small business owner, mother, daughter of immigrants, social justice advocate, and spiritual seeker in Salt Lake City, Utah. I’m passionate about exploring what it truly means to be well, both personally and collectively. My healing journey has led me to build a vibrant community of creatives, entrepreneurs, social justice leaders, and healers. On "Are We Well?," I connect with these inspiring voices to challenge us to think deeper, live consciously, and heal together. This podcast is for those who want to pause, reflect, and explore what wellness really means—an invitation to check in with yourself and ask, are you well?
