Introduction
Hosted by Francisco Castillo, a licensed marriage and family therapist and retired Navy veteran, this podcast is about more than just mental health—it’s about real life. Whether we're unpacking common myths about resilience, exploring relationships, or diving into personal growth, every episode is an opportunity to challenge perspectives and find clarity.
This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about honest conversations, self-discovery, and learning how to navigate life with intention. So hop in, buckle up, and let’s cruise through the complexities of the human experience—together.
