Success didn’t fulfill me… but purpose did.
Success didn’t fulfill me… but purpose did.
For years, I chased success. 💼 I worked tirelessly, hit every milestone, and reached heights I once only dreamed of. But when I got there… I felt empty.
I had the money. The recognition. The achievements.
And yet, something was still missing.
✨ Then, everything changed.
He left the 99 to find me. (Matthew 18:12)
In that moment, I realized: success isn’t the goal—purpose is. And true fulfillment comes when we return home.
That’s why I wrote Return Home. Not just to share my story, but to help others find their way back too.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing—like no achievement, no amount of success, or external validation can fill that void—this book is for you.
📖 Return Home is available in English & Spanish.

Quién es Hilda Castañeda
Hoy quiero compartir contigo algunos detalles de mi historia que quizás no conocías. Porque detrás de cada transformación, hay un camino recorrido. ✨
1️⃣ Un giro radical en mi vida 🔄
A pesar de tener éxito en los negocios, durante años sentí un vacío profundo. Todo cambió cuando experimenté un milagro sobrenatural que me llevó a descubrir mi verdadero propósito.
2️⃣ Siempre fui una niña curiosa 🤔
Desde pequeña hacía muchas preguntas sobre la vida, buscando respuestas más allá de lo que podía ver. No sabía que esa búsqueda me llevaría a encontrar algo mucho más grande que yo.
3️⃣ A los 14 años tomé una gran decisión ✈️
Dejé mi hogar en México para emigrar a Estados Unidos sin saber lo que me esperaba. Con miedo, pero con esperanza, emprendí un camino que cambiaría mi vida para siempre.
4️⃣ Encontré la fe y con ella, la paz 🙏
Hubo un momento en mi vida en el que sentí que no tenía rumbo. Pero cuando conocí a Dios, todo cambió. Su amor restauró mi vida y me dio un propósito que nunca imaginé.
5️⃣ Mi historia no es solo mía 💕
Creo que todo lo que he vivido tiene un propósito: ayudar a otros a encontrar su propio camino de regreso a casa.
Si estas palabras resuenan contigo, quiero invitarte a leer mi libro 📖 Regresa a Casa. Acompáñame en esta historia de transformación y descubre que siempre hay esperanza.

Mexico book presentation
I am beyond thrilled to present my book, Return Home, at the FIL Palacio de Minería in Mexico City!
This moment is incredibly special to me, not only because I get to share my story of faith, redemption, and transformation, but also because I am bringing my book to the land where I was born. Returning to my roots with a message of hope fills me with deep gratitude.
My greatest desire is that Return Home will inspire others, especially the new generation, to believe in second chances, to find their way back to faith, and to embrace the power of redemption. More than just a book, this is my legacy—a story that I pray will touch hearts and change lives.
I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!!

From Darkness to Light: A Testimony of God’s Miracles
When you decide to turn your life around and fully surrender to Jesus—your heart, your mind, your plans, and everything—your life will truly prosper. He will use you, guide you, and bring His divine plans to fulfillment in your life.
Each of us came into this world with spiritual gifts, but along the way, we often lose sight of them as we get caught up in our own desires and plans that are not aligned with God’s will.
God has worked miracles in my life. I was lost—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually broken. But in the blink of an eye, He came to save me. He lifted me out of the darkness and into His almighty light.
If He did it for me, He can do it for you. Believe it!

Contribute to the world
It is a privilege to contribute to our communities and to the world. Writing allows you to travel across the globe without ever leaving your space—because when you write, you send your story out into the world. You are no longer alone. Your words connect with others, inspire, and leave an impact. And with that gift comes a responsibility—to give back to the people who have given you so much.

Why You Should Write a Book
Writing a book is an unforgettable journey—one that no amount of money can buy. It’s an experience that transforms you, challenges you, and allows you to leave a mark on the world.
A book is more than just words on paper; it’s a legacy. It’s something you can pass down to your family, your community, and even your country. It becomes a voice for future generations, a testament to your story, wisdom, and experiences.
Most importantly, write from the heart. Be real. Be raw. Be honest. Your story has the power to inspire, heal, and change lives. When you write with authenticity, people connect—not just with your words, but with you.
So if you have a story to tell, don’t hold back. The world needs your voice.

Tu historia no ha terminado—apenas está comenzando
Tu historia no ha terminado—apenas está comenzando
¿Alguna vez te has sentido perdido, roto o lejos de la persona que estabas destinado a ser? Conozco ese sentimiento muy bien.
Mi libro, Regresa a Casa, nació de mi propio viaje a través de la oscuridad y la redención. Es una historia sobre encontrar la luz en los momentos más oscuros, redescubrir la esperanza cuando parece que todo está perdido y abrazar las segundas oportunidades que la vida nos da.
Este no es solo un libro—es una invitación.
Una invitación a reflexionar sobre tu propia historia. A dar ese primer paso hacia la sanación, el propósito y la transformación.
En Regresa a Casa, comparto mis luchas personales y las lecciones que aprendí en el camino. Pero más allá de mi historia, espero que este libro sea una guía y una inspiración para quienes se sienten estancados, desconectados o necesitan esperanza.
¿Por qué escribí este libro?
Escribí Regresa a Casa para aquellos que sienten que se han alejado demasiado de la vida que están destinados a vivir. Es para quienes están buscando regresar—a sí mismos, a su fe o a su propósito.
Si esto resuena contigo, me encantaría que lo leyeras y te unas a la comunidad de personas que están reescribiendo sus historias y dando pasos hacia la transformación.
¿Y tú?
¿Cuál ha sido ese primer paso que diste para encontrar sanación o propósito en tu vida?
Compartamos nuestras historias y seamos una inspiración para otros.

Your Story Isn’t Over—It’s Just Beginning
Have you ever felt lost, broken, or far from the person you were meant to be? I know that feeling all too well.
My book, Return Home, was born from my own journey through darkness and redemption. It’s a story about finding light in the darkest moments, rediscovering hope when it feels like all is lost, and embracing the second chances life offers us.
This isn’t just a book—it’s an invitation.
An invitation to reflect on your own story. To take the first step toward healing, purpose, and transformation.
In Return Home, I share my personal struggles and the lessons I learned along the way. But more than that, I hope it becomes a guide and inspiration for those who feel stuck, disconnected, or in need of hope.
Why I Wrote This Book:
I wrote Return Home for anyone who feels like they’ve strayed too far from the life they’re meant to live. It’s for those searching for a way back—to themselves, to their faith, or to their purpose.
If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to read it and join the community of people who are rewriting their stories and stepping into transformation.
What about you?
What’s one step you’ve taken to find healing or purpose in your life?
Let’s share our journeys and inspire each other.

Out of the darkness
Why do so many people not realize they are living in darkness and not in light? Why is it so difficult to distinguish between these two ways of life, which are as opposite as oil and water? Darkness and light cannot mix; they are two completely different paths.
Living in darkness means being trapped in a way of life where we cannot perceive God’s purposes for our lives or His beautiful plan of salvation, which offers us eternal life. It’s an existence marked by “YOLO” (you only live once), a lifestyle focused solely on enjoying life on earth without caring for our soul or the eternal joy that God promises us: a life filled with joy, without sadness or pain, where all is celebration.
When we live in darkness, the pleasures and distractions of life blind us from seeing the light. It’s like the Word says: “Once I was blind, but now I see.” Have you ever wondered where that verse comes from and why it’s there? It reveals a profound truth: we can only live in the light once we stop being blind. This means that as long as we remain in darkness, we are spiritually blind.
But when we leave that place of darkness, our eyes are opened. Then, we can see God’s promises, His greatness, and the plans He has prepared for all who choose to walk in His marvelous light. Living in the light not only transforms our perspective but also changes our eternal destiny.
It’s time to open your eyes and return home to God’s wonderful light.
