Hello,
I’m Michelle Madrid
I help women unbox their potential, reclaim their power, and become unstoppable.
I grew up feeling invisible.
As a woman born from an affair and placed in foster care, love was not my native language.
Growing up, I felt fundamentally wrong, out of place, and overwhelmed by a world that seemed determined to erase me.
I carried the weight of shame, fear, and unworthiness—believing it was my fault and that I had to shrink to survive.
But here’s what I’ve learned: the boxes we carry—filled with stories of shame, doubt, and fear—do not define us.
Instead, they illuminate the path to unboxing our potential and claiming the unstoppable power within.
My Journey to
Breaking Free
Before dedicating my life to helping women reclaim their power, I spent 12 years as a television news anchor, earning a #1 show and an Emmy nomination.
But behind the accolades, I carried the residue of shame and isolation from my own past.
Born in the UK and adopted by American parents, I grew up as the target of my adoptive father’s anger and the silence of an emotionally exhausted mother. The message I internalized was clear: I didn’t belong.
For years, I felt invisible, unworthy, and fundamentally wrong.
But I refused to let those stories define me.
Real healing began when…
I committed to doing the deep work—exploring alternative therapeutic modalities, embracing self-reflection, and unboxing the burdens I’d carried for so long.
Step by step, I released the weight of others’ expectations and reclaimed my sense of belonging.
Today, I use my certification in Leadership Psychology from Cornell University, training from the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT), and decades of personal growth to guide women just like you through their own transformations.
Why I Do This Work
For years, I felt invisible—unseen, unheard, and uncertain of my worth.
But deep down, I knew I was meant for more.
By unboxing my story, facing the beliefs keeping me small, and taking bold action, I built a life where I could support others without sacrificing myself, embrace my identity beyond motherhood, and feel truly fulfilled.
That’s why I created the UNBOXED Framework
