Hey there friends! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m Michelle Castro, the host of the Consider Jesus Podcast. I’ve gone back and forth on what to share here and how to prepare you for what’s to come. I’m a bottom line kinda girl and the nuts and bolts of it is…I want to encourage you to CONSIDER JESUS in all you do, but I also want to do that while having REAL, RAW, and HONEST conversations about those things we, as Christians, just don’t seem to talk about. Things like grief, sex, loss, marriage, parenting, mental health, friendships, and so much more! Through the ups and downs of my own personal story I’ve kinda become the one who tends to rip the bandaid off and say the hard things. Not because it comes naturally…nope, I’d really prefer to keep my dirt hidden, but because, the Lord has so kindly shown me that I am NOT THE ONLY ONE walking these different roads! I know you have a lot on your plate…whether it’s being a wife, mama, working, all of these, some of these, or completely different things…I want this place to be a space of comfort and encouragement! hebrews 3:1 says “Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, Webster’s dictionary defines “consider” like this: “to gaze on steadily or reflectively” I LOVE that! I want to gaze steadily upon Jesus. I want to REFLECT Him in all I do…and I’m guessing…you do too! It’s my desire through this podcast to point you to Jesus while sharing real life stuff with you! You’ll hear from me and some pretty incredible guests. I’m not your typical 51 year old…I have fuschia hair, like my free people barrels, I’m just as happy reading a book on the couch as I am with my miter saw in the garage working on some hair-brained DIY project. I love a little coffee with my creamer, sitting around the kitchen table catching up with my family, and I’ll drive just about anywhere if tacos are involved! Thanks for taking a listen…I’ll see ya inside the pod! :)

There's excuses you give that hold you back from growing and then there's excuses you accept from your team that's truly keeping you from being the LEADER your team needs you to be.
Sure...there are things that come up, legit things...but how often to you give your team the easy way out before calling them to level up and find a different way?
That's what we're talking about today!
Hop in and take a listen.
xx,
Michelle

Did you catch the emphasis on YOU in that title?
IPA (income producing activity) is awesome...but it needs to be tailored to YOU, your goals, your desires, your time, AND YOUR STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when IPA is mentioned?
Have you ever been a little frustrated because the IPA that your team recommended just didn't seem to gel with you?
Ya! I get it.
If that's you... then you're going to LOVE today's episode!!
I'd love to hear your thoughts afterwards...feel free to message me on IG - @itsmemichellecastro
xx, michelle

I'll be honest...I don't love the term "accidental" leader...but I know I've felt that way many times in my social selling business. So many of us come from different professions...and while leadership is an aspect of every business...we never really saw ourselves as the entrepreneurial LEADER type...and yet... here we are!
Shea and I sat down and chatted all about this and how you can strengthen your business and grow into that leader you have the ability to be!
From producing network television to navigating her role as a mom of 2, Shea Smith built her direct sales business to withstand ever changing seasons of life. Obsessed with systems that simplify life and business, Shea helps female entrepreneurs build sustainable, rewarding businesses that fit around their schedule so they can spend more time living a life they love.
You're going to love her!

We're talking MARKETING STRATEGIES to help YOU gain more visibility!
Whether that's for more people to buy what you're selling, more people to join you in business, or [fill in the blank]. I know that your time is precious...and so you want to make the most of it!
Genevieve and I sat down and she's sharing some of her top tips for solopreneurs just like you!
xx,
michelle
Genevieve became a stay-at-home mama in 2017 after years in the corporate marketing world, yet soon realized how much she missed the workforce--but certainly didn't want to be tied to a 9-5. That's where freelancing and online entrepreneurship came into her life, and there's been no stopping her since. She founded Neon Soul Marketing in 2019 as a boutique marketing and PR agency that specializes in helping coaches, course creators, service providers and other online entrepreneurs get VISIBLE through marketing and content strategies made for *real life*! She currently lives in Virginia, but is a southern girl at heart. Her favorites are country music, a good glass of Chardonnay, and a night by the fire pit. Occasionally, she'll enjoy a ride on her Peloton, but no promises there!

Today starts a month long series of "STOP THIS, DO THIS" in your social selling business.
I know you have BIG goals and you want to achieve great things. We have this list of things to do, but the reality is there are some things we need to STOP doing!
Today we're talking about consuming...books, content, trainings, podcasts, the list could go on and on. There are great things out there. Great content you need for your business to get you where you want to go, but the reality is...it's easy to CONSUME and much harder to DO!
If you're looking for success and growth in your network marketing / social selling business...then this is for you!
We finish it with a challenge...I'd love to hear what you're going to do!
xx,
michelle
