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! :)

FRIEND!!
Do you have a case of the Mondays....but it's been lasting all week, month, year?
Are you frustrated with where your business is at?
Or...do you just need to see things from a different point of view?
Today we're going to talk about 6 simple tips to give days like these a fresh perspective. It can be so easy to lean into the frustration...but what if you made a decision to look at it differently! Choose to do all 6 of these or get started with one...either way...I believe you'll start seeing that day, situation, conversation, whatever, from a different place!!
REMEMBER...if you're loving this podcast...grab a screenshot and share it to your stories...tag me so I can thank you!!!

Hey there friend!!
Learning to be the unicorn I am...came, in large part, from my MOM!
It’s her birthday today and I’m dropping 30 things she’s taught me! Of course...there’s a million others...so this may just have to be part 1.
She’s a hard-working, Jesus-loving, husband-loving, fun-loving, generous to a fault, mom-loving mama who’s inspired me to be the best I can. I fall short on the regular, but I’m so grateful for her example of a godly wife, mom, sister, daughter, and friend.
If you know her...you know this to just be the tip of the iceberg!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
See ya inside!

Hey there unicorn mama!
You partnered with this network marketing / direct sales business and you're SUPER excited... but...those you love most...your spouse, your family, your friends...they're less than supportive.
I hear it a lot.
I've talked to many clients who express this very thing.
Today we're going to talk about TWO of the reasons that this may be happening. There's a mountain of potential reasons...but I think many of them can be narrowed down to these two.
Take a listen and let me know if you found this to be the case for you!
