Redefining Motherhood with Heart and Connection
Amanda de la Madriz, the visionary behind That Mom Life Coaching, brings a heartfelt approach to motherhood, helping moms reconnect with themselves and rediscover joy in the real, messy, and often overwhelming journey of raising children. Her work as a life and mindset coach is anchored in empowering women to trust their inner voice and cultivate a sense of community—a lifeline she knows many moms need to not just survive but truly thrive. She is located in Santa Monica, CA, but does work virtually with folks all over.
Building Community Through Coaching: A New Program for Moms
Amanda is creating something that feels incredibly meaningful—a group coaching program launching in 2025, developed in collaboration with two fellow coaches. Amanda sees a missing link in one-on-one coaching: the sense of connection and camaraderie that only a shared community of moms can bring. “Moms need community,” Amanda says, recognizing the challenges that can feel invisible but are shared by so many. This upcoming program will provide a space where moms can find both themselves and each other, creating a dynamic environment where coaching and support go hand in hand.
Transformation in Action: One Mom’s Story of Change
One of Amanda’s recent success stories beautifully illustrates her approach to coaching. She worked with a mom who, on the surface, appeared to have it all figured out—her kids were thriving, the household was always orderly, and routines were seamless. Yet behind closed doors, she felt overwhelmed and disconnected. Through their work together, Amanda helped her peel back layers of guilt and perfectionism, guiding her to a place of self-compassion. Today, that same mom feels present, engaged, and joyful—she no longer stresses over a missed routine, and she has more bandwidth for herself and her family. “Mothers are the family glue, and when they feel better, everyone does,” Amanda shares.

Amanda’s Vision: A Movement of Self-Knowing
Looking ahead, Amanda sees her work as part of something much larger: a movement that empowers mothers to reconnect with their intuition and step into their strength. “Women are amazingly conscious beings,” Amanda says. “Too often, they turn that awareness against themselves. I want to help women trust themselves so deeply that they can come back to their power and thrive.” Her dream is to build a ripple effect, one mother at a time, that ultimately strengthens families and communities everywhere.
