The Catholic Pursuit of Excellence
This is the show for high-achieving Catholics who want to accomplish more in their lives and businesses–with less stress and more peace–all while becoming the saints God created them to be.
If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and burned out from trying to “do it all”...struggling to balance taking care of your family, your health, and your growing business–without letting “worldly anxieties” choke out your relationship with Christ–then this is the show for you.
Join Catholic Life & Health Coach Jessica Castillo each week as she shares actionable steps for taking exceptional care of your body, mind, and soul so you can achieve more and stress less.
Discover practical strategies to optimize your health, productivity, and prayer life so that you can excel in all areas of your life–all while deepening your reliance on and relationship with God.
While this show tackles the issues that plague high-achievers in every walk of life–from burnout, stress, brain fog, overwhelm, low energy, and weight gain–the Catholic Pursuit of Excellence goes beyond what most personal development and self-improvement gurus teach by recognizing that we rely on God for everything–and that no excellence exceeds holiness.
If you’re ready to take your faith–and life–to the next level, hit subscribe and get started on your pursuit of excellence today.
