In this last episode of the season, it’s time to finally talk about the magic wand answers. IYKYK. The Angels Co-Hosts come together to talk through their experiences in participating in the podcast, lessons learned, and what they’ve been up to since our last recordings. And then Angels on the Street Laura and Vera talk through their thoughts on, well, being Angels on the Street.

El Paso Police Department Chief Peter Pacillas’s lifelong public service began with a simple act of friendship involving $20. Turns out effective policing requires empathy, responsibility and having a strong commitment to the community. Co-host Andrea Palm and Aaron check in with the Chief Pacillas and hear about his approach to leadership and Chief’s regular guy interests like woodworking and his family. And this week’s Teacher Hot Tip comes from James Causey who discusses how trips to Washington D.C. spur self-confidence and civic engagement.

Co-founder of El Paso non-profit, Creative Kids, Andrea Gates Ingle somehow doesn’t consider herself an artist. Yet she and her husband Steven have forged a creative path that helps kids every day to learn how to make and appreciate art. And accomplish profound and long-term healing. Ann joins this week as co-host referencing her obsession with Billie Eilish her enjoyment of Jayne Eyre and coining the phrase “turn the pizza”. And new this week, Elliot steps in an Angel on the Street Segment about the value and experience of young people getting involved in politics.

What’s it like to grow up with a therapist in the house? Apparently it’s not so bad. Joining Aaron this week as a co-host, Zeke interviews his dad, Jason Wyatt, a therapist in Las Cruces. Jason also directs local community theater and does a little acting himself. Talking through the merits of finding your people and developing your own identity even with a significant other, it turns out some therapy techniques like empathy and introspection also moonlight as great parenting. Angel on the Street, Laura Chacon then talks about what leading a spiritual life means to her.

This is not your grandma's pageant winner: Gia uses her platform as Miss Earth USA to hone her skills at advocacy, conversation, and public speaking.

She tells us she used to have social anxiety, but you wouldn't know it to hear her now. Listen as she describes her friend Mia Molina and the reason she has taken up the important work of advocating against domestic violence.

Then Angel on the Street Vera Chacon talks about... wait for it... lessons learned from dating. It could have been awkward but our Angel on the Street handles the topic with grace, emotional intelligence, and maturity.

We’re keeping you on your toes this week by adding two new co-hosts to the mix.
