What If Your Biggest Struggle Was Actually Your Superpower? | ft. Hana Ateeq
"What if the thing you struggle with the most could actually be your greatest strength?"
Today’s episode of The Developing Life Podcast is a special one.
We’re sitting down with someone whose story is a powerful reminder that creativity, resilience, and self-discovery often come from the toughest moments.
Meet Hana Ateeq—a DJ, data analyst, and mental health advocate who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2023.
But this episode isn’t just about a diagnosis—it’s about what comes after. It’s about learning to navigate the highs and lows, using data analytics, music, and storytelling to make sense of the chaos, and turning pain into something beautiful.
Hana grew up in Pakistan, surrounded by the poetry of Bollywood and the rhythms of South Asia. Her love for music eventually led her to the DJ decks, where she found a way to channel her emotions into something that not only healed her but also impacted others.
This conversation, hosted by the incredible Tru Adams, explores:
🧠 What it’s really like to live with bipolar disorder
📊 How data analytics can actually help with mental health
🎶 Why creativity is one of the most powerful tools for healing
Hana’s story is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring.
Sit back, get comfortable, and dive in.
