A Day In The Life Of The Cowboy's Wife
This is Trish Charleston, a/k/a, the Cowboy’s Wife, coming to you from the metropolis of Rt. 1, Reeds, MO, where the rooster is crowing, the cows are mooing, the horses are pawing, the dogs are barking and the cats are literally circling, because I’m supposed to be out there feeding them right now instead of talking to you.
If you don’t know me, I’m first and foremost a Christian and a now a writer and blogger. I’m a wife, a mom, a Gaga, a rancher, a former paralegal, and as all of those things, a myriad of others just trickle in. If you have children, you know the many hats we all instantly wear, from chauffeur to doctor to cook to house keeper, the list goes on an and on.
The reason I’m doing this podcast is simply that Bob Goff and God are making me. They are both very bossy in my life and as Bob always says, “Let faith guide your steps,” so I’m stepping out here on faith with each session, hoping that my life stories will simply help your day be a little brighter.
I’m hoping to bring some laughter and light into
your day with my experiences in life. I’m no expert on anything but I’ve lived for 56 years. I’ve gone through and even done the good, the bad and even some ugly in my life. I have some hilarious stories that will make you laugh so hard that you blow coffee out of your nose, to some that will make you just flat ugly cry. I have
been blessed with good writing material being married to the Cowboy, living and working on the farm, working in the legal world, raising children, having grandchildren, going through “the menopause,” the list goes on and on.
This is a day in the life of the Cowboy’s wife, to brighten the day in yours.
A Day In The Life Of The Cowboy's Wife
34. | Fighting Forward | A Day In The Life Of The Cowboy's Wife with Trish Charleston
In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Gant, an old schoolmate and now friend, thanks to God’s perfect timing.
Back in the day, Alicia was a powerhouse cheerleader, dancer, and corporate professional who was once at the top of her game—but silently battling the addiction of anorexia which soon led to alcoholism, and spiraled into the painful unraveling of her family.
We talk about her early days training at elite dance schools, living in the high-paced, highly competitive world of cheer and the tremendous stress it puts not only on your body, but your mind. Your self image is a constant concern. After college, marriage, and a demanding career that continued to keep her body in the spotlight, all while raising three young daughters, instead of turning to God, she began to self medicate.
Alicia opens up about being a “benchwarmer Christian,” and how the enemy tried to destroy everything she loved.
But this isn’t a story of defeat. It’s a testimony of God’s relentless pursuit, restoration, and the healing that begins when we let Him back in.
If you’ve ever felt like your life looked perfect on the outside but was falling apart behind closed doors—this one is for you.
God wants to be in your game, no matter what you are playing. He loves you when you are on the highest mountain, and He loves you when you are in the deepest pit. But you have to ask Him to join you.
Get off the bench and watch how you win with Him in charge.
Don’t fight back…fight forward!
