This week on the Mindful Headlines podcast, Roberta Romero, a KING 5 journalist in Seattle, Washington reveals her own battle with alcoholism and shares her story of recovery.

Mindful Headlines on Spotify:

“Mindful Headlines” is a news podcast about the Pacific Northwest that explores how our psychology intersects with current events.

The way we interact with our world is influenced by the way we perceive the world. In turn, our collective minds shape the issues that make headlines in our local communities and nationwide.

The show is produced and hosted by Jessica Janner Castro, a journalist at KING 5 News, the NBC affiliate in Seattle.
