What if childhood trauma could become a source of personal strength? On Circumstantially Successful, I talk with Hannah Deal, who shares her powerful story of overcoming bullying, body image struggles, and chronic illnesses like narcolepsy and POTS. Her journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the healing power of empathy and community.

Hannah’s story highlights how we can shift from feeling like a victim to seeing challenges as opportunities for growth. Whether she’s coaching a high school triathlon team or assisting the Community Investment Collaborative, her life is a testament to the power of kindness and listening.

We also explore the difficulties of living with chronic illness, the emotional challenges it brings, and how Hannah found balance between self-improvement and accepting help. She shares tools like subconscious reprogramming and the Dynamic Neural Retraining System that helped her heal emotionally and physically.

Tune in to hear Hannah’s inspiring story and gain practical tips on overcoming life’s toughest challenges with perseverance, empathy, and support.
