    Madres & Desmadres: Sneak Peak

    Send us Fan Mail Music:  "Everything Is Working Out" by Sarah, the Illstrumentalist, licensed under Epidemic Sound.  Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. In this bonus episode, I sit down with the three madres behind Madres & Desmadres for a fun, honest conversation about the podcast, their friendship, and the real-life chaos that inspired them to create it. They talk about what Madres & Desmadres is all about, why three friends decided to start a podcast, what makes their friendship—and their chemistry—so special, and why they chose a Spanish name for an English-language show. They also share what listeners can expect from the podcast: unfiltered conversations, relatable stories, humor, honest opinions, and the kind of desmadre that happens when three comadres get together. The conversation looks ahead at the topics they’re excited to explore, including motherhood, relationships, aging, body changes, work, identity, and the everyday challenges women face while trying to hold everything together. They also discuss the conversations women don’t always feel comfortable having, how honest they plan to be, and what they hope listeners feel when they tune in. Of course, no conversation with the madres would be complete without a few rapid-fire questions, revealing who is the most dramatic, who gives advice but doesn’t always take it, who is most likely to start the desmadre, and who would get everyone into trouble. Madres & Desmadres is for women somewhere in the middle of life—raising kids, maintaining relationships, figuring themselves out, navigating change, and laughing through the chaos. It’s a place for real conversations without pretending to have all the answers. Listen to this conversation with the madres and get a preview of what’s coming on Madres & Desmadres.

In this episode, I talk to a phone guest, Yazmin Navarro, Vice Chair of the Colorado State Board of Education, for a conversation that goes far beyond her title and public role. We talk about Yazmin’s childhood, the people and experiences that shaped who she is, the challenges and turning points that influenced her journey, and what ultimately led her into education, leadership, and public service. She also shares what it’s really like to serve in a position where decisions can impact students, families, and educators across Colorado. But this conversation isn’t just about her career. We take time to get to know the person behind the public figure—her friendships, what keeps her grounded, what makes her happy, how she defines success today, and the things she’s still figuring out about herself. We wrap up with a look toward the future, including her goals, hopes for her legacy, advice for young people who want to make a difference, and a fun rapid-fire round. Most importantly, this is a conversation about the person behind the position and the life experiences that helped shape the woman Yazmin is today.

    The Evolution of Happiness

In this episode, my wife and I reflect on 26 years of marriage and how our understanding of happiness has evolved over time. From serving together in the Marine Corps to navigating the highs and lows of family life, careers, and the everyday challenges that come with a long-term relationship, we've learned that happiness isn't a fixed destination—it's something that changes with each season of life. We talk openly about how happiness means different things to each of us, why that's perfectly okay, and how mutual respect, communication, and a willingness to grow together have strengthened our marriage over the years. Rather than expecting to always see life through the same lens, we've discovered that embracing our differences has helped us build a deeper partnership. Whether you're newly married, have been together for decades, or simply want to strengthen your relationships, this conversation offers honest insights into commitment, resilience, and finding joy in the journey together. Our hope is that our experiences remind you that lasting happiness isn't about perfection—it's about choosing each other, adapting through life's changes, and continuing to grow side by side.
