In this podcast, I connect with remarkable people from the worlds of voiceover, music, broadcasting, writing, and coaching. Together, we explore their voyage through life, the highs and the lows, the moments of fear and the breakthroughs of hope. Through candid conversations, you'll hear powerful stories of resilience, creativity, and triumph that just might inspire your own path forward.

Today, I'm joined by someone whose story is both deeply personal and universally inspiring. My guest, Hannah Castillo, is a Certified Professional Coach with a background in mental health counseling. She holds a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and a dual bachelor's in Psychology and English.

Hannah has dedicated her career to helping others find balance and hope, and what makes her story so compelling is that she knows firsthand how hard that balance can be to achieve. Living with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, Hannah faced years of unanswered questions and difficult symptoms while trying to build her career and family life.

Through it all, she discovered the power of meditation and mindfulness, not only in managing her own health, but also as a transformative practice for her coaching clients. Her podcast 'Love Your Calm: mini-mediations' won the 2025 American Writing Awards for Podcast of the Year, the Goodpods #1 Podcast of the Month in both the Meditation and Alternative Health categories, the cover story in the summer issue of the Women Who Podcast magazine, and winner of their 2025 awards in the 'Changing the World' category.

Today, we'll hear how even a few minutes of stillness a day can open the door for us to move from fear to hope. And I'm especially excited to talk with a fellow coffee aficionado and budding latte artist.
