Burlesque, Big Brains & Botanicals: Marina Castillo’s Wild Ride to Kava & Clarity

In this episode of Kalm Down, we sit down with Marina Castillo: a burlesque dancer, theoretical mathematician, and now a kava industry consultant. (Yes, really.) Her journey is anything but ordinary, and that’s exactly why it’s brilliant.We talk about:How Marina moved from formulas to feather boas to food-grade root powderWhy the kava world needs more badass women and fewer boring brosHow breathwork and cultural humility shape her work todayThis one’s full of laughter, honesty, and enough plot twists to qualify as a Marvel origin story...minus the cape. 🍃💃🧠
