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
38. | Colt Atwood | College Sports | A Day In The Life Of The Cowboy's Wife with Trish Charleston
Hey y’all, it’s Trish—The Cowboy’s Wife—and today I’m sitting down with my son-in-law, Colt Atwood, for a real conversation about family, sports, and the choices that shape us.
We talked about growing up in competitive families-Colt with five siblings under one roof in Katy, Texas, was a sport all its own. His stories about life with five boys, a sister, and a mom who somehow kept it all together are worth the listen alone.
Colt opened up about turning down a shot at pro baseball after being drafted by the Oakland A’s, and what it really meant to choose family and future over fame. We got into the changing world of college athletics—from NIL deals to transfer portals—and how it’s shifting the landscape for student-athletes across the country.
We also shared memories from our own time in the stands—watching Quincy pitch her heart out, living for those game-day nerves, and learning when to be quiet as parents. Trust me, that’s a lesson I had to learn the hard way.
If you’ve ever raised a kid in sports, made a tough call, or just love a good story about grit, heart, and finding Jesus, this one’s for you.
