Hey there friend!
I’m BACK!!!
Oh man! I’m so incredibly excited to be back with ya’ll! No...I’m not from the south. :)
Born and raised in Southern California and it’s never been more apparent to me how important and essential my relationship with Jesus is! He is my life, my breath, and my everything! Sure...I try to help him out way more than I should, but then I remember HE DOESN’T NEED MY HELP! Talk about a blow to the ego! But that’s what He wants...right? He wants us to remember that we NEED Him for EVERYTHING...every single day!
That’s what we’re talking about here on the podcast.
Marriage, motherhood, and everything in between...it’s hard with Jesus and even harder without him. If you’re here, then I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you’re like me...you find yourself a little too firmly planted in this world and you’re seeking Jesus more and more. You want your marriage, your motherhood, your work, your fun to mean more...you want to make a difference in the little and big moments of the day. You want to seek Jesus in every conversation, in every moment!
Well, if that’s you...then you’re in the right place!
Welcome...I’m Michelle Castro.
Wife to my sweet hubby for nearly 27 years, mama to three daughters here on earth and one sweet son in Heaven. I’m always up to find amazing tacos, grab an iced latte, head to the beach, or hang out at home with the fam watching a movie, eating popcorn, and doing who knows what!
I don’t believe in accidents...so I’m glad you’re here and I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store!
xx, Michelle

288 // 3 Things You Can Do TODAY To Live A Life Against The Grain Of This World As A Wife and Mom
Every where I turn there's a post, a video, an email, a blog, etc telling me what I *need* to be doing as a wife, a mom, an entrepreneur, and so on...but the reality is most of those things don't align with what the Lord has uniquely called me to as a wife and mom.
I like to keep things simple. I'm sharing three things you can start doing TODAY to stand out and be a LIGHT in this dark world pointing to Jesus!
Let's get started!
xx, Michelle

289 // 8 Things Love Does NOT Do, For The Christian Wife and Mom
We throw the word "love" around...but do we really understand it?
Do we TRULY understand the kind of love God has called us to?
I know I don't.
I like to think it's this flowery, Hollywood / hallmark thing...but it's not!
We're going to take a look at one of the most famous passages about love - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. We're going to talk about the 8 things love does NOT do!
Ready?
Grab your coffee and let's get started!
xx, Michelle

291 // 3 PRACTICAL AND INTENTIONAL WAYS YOU CAN PRIORITIZE YOUR MARRIAGE WITH WIFE, MOM, STEPMUM, AND WIDOW, JENNIFER OSLER-BOLTON
I love having guests on, but even more I love it when I PERSONALLY know and love this person. Today is such a situation.I met Jenn about 14 or 15 years ago during a gymnastics class our daughters were taking. You know when you meet someone and you instantly love them...that was Jenn!
Since then the Lord has walked her through some pretty intense trials...she's a mom to two kiddos with her first husband who was tragically killed and a stepmum to two daughters when she remarried their dad...who happens to be from Ireland...hence "step-mum". She has a love and passion for the Lord that I envy and desire.
She shared a post on IG the other day and I text her right away - I asked if she'd talk about intentionally prioritizing her marriage to all of you...because I know I am blessed by what she shares and I know you will be too!
You can find Jennifer on IG - @jjoslerbolton
Let's get started!

Customer Reviews
So encouraging!!
Felt super convicted by your recent episode on social media. Been discerning the same — whether to let go of it, and surrender my business more fully to God. I’m currently in a 30 day detox and believe it’s the start of something new and beautiful He’s doing. Thank you for helping us have courage to go and grow against the grain to follow the Lord! -Megan Gephart, Armed to the Heart Podcast
So refreshing!
Love the energy you bring and the foundational focus on GOD.
Solid
Even if you're not in an MLM, Michelle's business advice is solid, helping you break through to the next level while keeping God's plan for you front and center. Plus she's super fun to listen to and learn from!
