Season 7. Ep. 16: “The Pause” How to heal hidden motherhood traumas. Criss Madrigal, Life Coach
I am blessed to be married to an incredibly supportive partner, whose unwavering presence and encouragement is a gift. In 2009, my heartfelt wish was granted, and I was given the incredible gift of motherhood to a remarkable boy. Two years later, in 2011, our family was blessed with the arrival of identical twin girls, bringing us even closer together. As a united and devoted family unit, we have embarked on a profound journey of love, care, and support, embracing the unique needs of each of our children with unwavering dedication.
Driven by a profound desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others, I wholeheartedly pursued my passion and became a certified life and mindset coach. Alongside my coaching practice, I am also a corporate mom and human resources professional, dedicating the past 18 years of my career to a Fortune 500 organization.
With a profound passion for empowering women, my purpose is to facilitate transformative journeys that encompass the mind, heart, and body. I am dedicated to guiding women towards a harmonious transformation that brings peace, love, and abundance into their lives. By helping them break through self-imposed barriers, such as mom guilt, overwhelm, and burnout, I assist them in attaining a daily state of clarity, balance, and confidence. Through prioritizing their own well-being, they are empowered to uncover their true purpose and achieve their desired goals in life.
My mission is to empower women worldwide by reminding them of their innate capacity for greatness and success. I firmly believe that the key to unlocking these achievements lies within each and every woman. Through my work, I strive to ignite the inner fire and unleash the boundless potential that resides within them, inspiring women to recognize their own power and achieve extraordinary heights.

Season 7. Ep. 5: Boundaries and Romantic Relationships with Patty Cuevas, MA
My name is Patty Cuevas. I have a Master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I am NOT a therapist.— though I’m working on it I am a Christian life coach, momma bear and wife located in Texas (relocated from Southern California).
I am passionate about speaking about all things mental health, particularly grief, loss, abandonment, feeling left behind in life and starting over.
My Christian faith is intertwined with who I am and my love for mental health. I have a heart for women, especially mommas, who think it’s too late to start, restart or finish their life goals. Having experienced two deep losses in my life, pivoting in the midst of loss was not only a challenge, but overwhelming. The effects of loss, grief and abandonment can be long-lasting.
I invite women listeners to find community, be an active participant in their own lives and challenge them to let go of the things that no longer serve them in their purpose.

Born into poverty to a drug-addicted mother, Rebecca Contreras had been a “lost girl” for almost two decades when, at age 19, she found herself to be a drop out, welfare-dependent teenage mother. As a high school dropout with substance-abuse and emotional trauma tendencies, she was well on her way to perpetuating the generational cycle of destruction and becoming a statistic lost to the system and her upbringing.
Her new book, Lost Girl: From the Hood to the White House to Millionaire Entrepreneur (Boss Media, released Oct 2021), recounts this journey from getting off welfare to advising a sitting U.S. president to eventually founding a thriving 100+ person company, her journey demonstrates that harsh beginnings or past mistakes do not need to define us; rather, we each have the power to forge our own pathways, especially when we have self-determination and the ability to recognize and accept helping hands along the way.
Rebecca’s transformative journey continued with the marriage of her husband, David, who she met while serving in a gang outreach youth community program in Austin. Rebecca and David have been married for 31+ years and live with their family in the Austin area. Together, she and David founded LaunchPad (LP) in 2008, a nonprofit that focused on serving middle school age inner city youth through a comprehensive after school program for nearly a decade in Northeast Austin. Today LaunchPad has shifted to support other philanthropic causes in the State of Texas and globally that are near and dear to the Contreras’ heart. To learn more about LP visit www.launchpadthecenter.org.
Rebecca started her government service as a single mom in a “welfare-to-work’ program under the iconic Texan Ann Richards. After she completed that program and got her GED, she then went on to work in HR for Kay Bailey Hutchison, and worked her way all the way to being a top leader serving 12 years in the George W. Bush legacy, first in Texas as his director of HR, and then in the White House as a Commissioned Officer on Bush’s right hand team supporting the presidential transition and leading the process for staffing over 1,200 positions in boards and commissions across the government, President Bush then appointed her to serve on the Board of WestPoint Military Academy.
