About Me

HI! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Cathy Estrada, and I’ve been lucky enough to call New Braunfels home for the past 20 years. My life’s journey has been shaped by my deep passion for helping others, and I’m excited to share my experiences and insights with you.

For the past 16 years, I’ve worked in the hospitality industry, where I’ve learned the importance of connecting with people, making them feel welcome, and creating lasting memories. Whether I’m hosting guests, traveling, or simply enjoying time with my family, I always try to approach life with a warm heart and an open mind.

I’ve been happily married for 35 years and we are proud parents to two grown children. Our family grew by one in recent years with the addition of a granddaughter, and they truly are the center of my world.

I strive to live each day with faith, love, and gratitude. When I’m not working or spending time with loved ones, you can find me traveling to new places, discovering hidden gems, or meeting new people who share a similar passion for life.

Through New Braunfels State of Mind, I aim to inspire others to connect, explore, and appreciate the wonderful things life has to offer. I hope this blog serves as a source of positivity, helpful tips, and a glimpse into the beautiful community I’m proud to be part of. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
