About Heart to Heart with Hyacinth

Heart to Heart with Hyacinth is a podcast celebrating ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the communities around us. Hosted by Dr. Hyacinth Paul—scientist, author, and artist—the podcast brings listeners into warm, heartfelt conversations with people from all walks of life. Each episode explores the experiences that have shaped them: their upbringing, struggles and triumphs, moments of courage and resilience, and the people and places that have influenced who they have become. Drawing on her own journey from science to art, Dr. Paul is especially interested in the connections between art, creativity, mental health, and well-being, while opening the conversation to the many different ways people find strength, purpose, belonging, and joy. At its heart, Heart to Heart with Hyacinth is about listening to one another. It celebrates kindness, cultural heritage, perseverance, creativity, community, and the goodness that often goes unnoticed in everyday life. These are not simply stories of extraordinary achievement. They are stories of extraordinary humanity—reminding us that inspiration, hope, and wonder can be found everywhere, often in the people right beside us.
