Meet your coach, the Founder of award-winning HmntyCntrd® and moonpaws:

Hi, I'm Vivianne Castillo!

I bring 9+ years of psychology and research experience spanning multiple contexts, cultures, and industries and my work and opinions have been written about in Slate, Fortune, Huffington Post, Fast Company, and ELLE Magazine. I'm also an international conference speaker and was an invited speaker to Fortune's Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit.

After publicly leaving a toxic workplace 4 years ago, I've been able to experience the reality of healing not being a scarcity💙

If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, let me show you what it looks like to be excited about your future again. Let's choose courage over comfort — together.

I'm so confident in the design of this program, that I offer a money-back guarantee.*

I'm Interested!

Our Growth Blueprint

After conducting research and extensive interviews with folks in your position over the years, we've designed this group coaching experience to be holistic and practical.

Each 2-hour session focuses on two pillars:

Mindset (Read more)

We’ll support you in letting go of limiting beliefs and outdated, survival-driven patterns from corporate life. This opens space to explore practices that cultivate a healthier relationship with work, build self-trust, and embrace purpose-driven goals.

Topics we cover include:

✓ Belief systems on success, failure & self-worth

✓ Overcoming internal barriers

✓ Accountability in action

✓ Foundational values

✓ Unpacking financial fears

✓ Detoxing from unhealthy corporate mindsets

✓ Learning to trust your gut

✓ Self-care as an imperative

✓ And more!

Business Practicum (Read more)

We'll focus on understanding the key building blocks to creating a brand and a business, followed by practical exercises and assignments to apply what you've learned directly to building your business. You won't be alone, as you'll be paired with an accountability buddy for each assignment!

This approach bridges learning with action, empowering you to make informed, impactful decisions as you grow.

Topics we cover include:

✓ Elevator pitch

✓ Business plan

✓ Incorporating your business

✓ Vision and value statements

✓ Pricing strategies

✓ Pre-launch strategies

✓ Brand positioning

✓ Lead generation strategies

✓ Landing website page

✓ And more!

And each phase includes two sessions:

Phase 1: Confidence

We'll spend the first two group sessions in Month 1 building the mindset and paradigms required to relate to you, your ideas, and your transition from corporate into entrepreneurship in a healthy, healing, and sustainable way.

Get ready to work through the unspoken barriers that get in the way of you making concrete, actionable steps towards your goals. You'll receive individual asynchronous activities between group sessions to support you in translating learnings into the building blocks required for accountability and action.

Phase 2: Clarity

We'll spend the two group sessions in Month 2 working together to clarify your vision for your entrepreneurial goals and journey. We will also explore how to channel your skills, gifts, and ideas into the key milestones required to build a purpose-driven, people-focused, and profitable business.

You'll also be introduced to Vivianne's resources and support partners that leverages to keep her business protected, her operations running smoothly, and her business vision-focused. Between group sessions, you will receive individual asynchronous activities to support you in translating your learnings into the building blocks required for accountability and action.

Phase 3: Control

In the final two group sessions of Month 3, we will work together to identify and implement the practical, actionable steps needed to bring your vision to life. By the end of these two weeks, you will have the confidence to take action on your goals, the clarity to see an achievable path ahead, and a new level of business acumen to help you make sound business decisions and uphold your confidence.

Last but not least, you will have learned how to prevent unhelpful mindsets and behaviors from impacting your approach to business so that you don't lose yourself and your passion in this journey.

What FolksAre Saying

This experience has been actionable in addressing both tangibles of setting up a business but also intangibles such as mindset that can be just as if not more important to address when embarking on the journey to entrepreneurship. The personalized attention and feedback, community support, and wide range of topics and exercises covered has made this an exceptionally valuable experience.
— C.H. Reel
I think if someone is disillusioned with the tech industry and looking for other inspiring models to consider in starting their own business that focuses on well-being I would recommend HmntyCntrd.
— Ted Chiasson
This program has helped me make my business idea SIGNIFICANTLY more concrete! I've been sitting on this idea for YEARS, dabbling and experimenting here and there. But I've been challenged to bring my idea out of the safety of my dreams into the reality of the world, and this has been empowering. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to act on business ideas they've been keeping close to their heart but want to make a reality.
— T.L.
The blend of humanity-centered principles, strategic coaching, and a supportive community of current and previous cohorts made this experience transformative. If you're new to entrepreneurship or want to clarify where your energy can best be spent, I’d highly recommend it to anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about their entrepreneurial path.
— Rachael Dietkus
This was the transformative experience I didn’t realize I needed. It helped me overcome blockers in restarting my freelance business, shifting my mindset, and quietly building my confidence. I gained far more from the program than I expected when I signed up. Starting a business can be overwhelming but the process you learn helps you focus on what matters to move your business forward.
— Danita Delce

The Real Results Guarantee*

✅ So here's the deal with The Real Results Guarantee: If you show up fully, do the work, and still don’t make clear progress toward launching or growing your business, we’ll do a short Progress Review together, I’ll give you an additional month of personalized support and refund 50% of your payment ($1,000).

No drama. No guilt.

Just a promise that your effort won't go unanswered.

I built this program with one mission: to help you confidently build and launch your business — whether that’s a consultancy, coaching practice, product-based brand, or something entirely your own.

And I stand behind every part of it: the structure, the support, and the outcomes we’ll work toward together. I can give you the tools, walk beside you, and hold you accountable but I can’t do the work for you.

What Counts as “Showing Up Fully”

To qualify for the guarantee, you need to commit to a single offer, idea, or business direction for at least 4 weeks of the program and complete the following within the program:

→ Attend at least 80% of the live coaching sessions (and watch replays of sessions missed within 72 hours)
→ Submit the core worksheets and exercises on time, the stuff that builds your strategy and offer
→ Engage in the community at least twice per week (post a question, share a win, offer support, or ask for feedback)
→ Take at least two real outreach actions (i.e., pitching your offer, running a beta, having a sales convo, or publishing your first post about your service or offer on LinkedIn)

What We Mean by "Clear Progress"

This isn’t about hitting six figures in 90 days. This is about momentum and measurable clarity. If you show up fully, you can expect to:

✓ Have a crystal-clear, for-profit business idea
✓ Know who it’s for and how to talk about it
✓ Have started testing or promoting it (even if you’re still refining)
✓ Have had at least real conversation with someone about your business

If after completing the program requirements you feel like you still don’t have that clarity or traction, we’ll do a short Progress Review together, I'll give you an additional month of personalized support, and I’ll refund 50% of your payment ($1,000).

That’s my promise.

Why $1,000?

Because by the time you request a refund, you’ve already received coaching, feedback, tools, frameworks, community support, and structure — real value that doesn’t disappear.

This refund isn’t a fallback. It’s a principle.

It reflects what I believe about entrepreneurship:

✓ It’s a shared risk
✓ A shared effort
✓ And when it works? A shared win

I’m not here for transactions. I’m here for transformations.

And The Real Results Guarantee proves it.
