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
Episode #40 | I’m Back!
In this episode, I open up about what’s been on my heart lately and why I decided to step back behind the microphone again. I share the whirlwind of Emma’s recent wedding, the chaos, the blessings, and the unexpected lessons God tucked into every moment — including what happens when you don’t let people help you and how that can actually rob them of a blessing.
I also talk about speaking at a Women in Ag FFA conference, how I almost said no, and how one simple phone call reminded me why first impressions matter. From posting a family photo online to dealing with criticism, to learning when to stay quiet and when to trust the Holy Spirit’s nudge, this episode touches on grace, humility, and the messy parts of being human.
One of the biggest themes I dive into is the idea of spiritual cairns — the people and moments God places in our path to guide us, teach us, and confirm we’re headed in the right direction. I share how those markers have shown up in Emma’s life, in mine, and how easy it can be to miss them when we’re too focused on the whole journey instead of the next step.
This episode is honest, imperfect, faith-filled, and straight from the heart. I’m excited to be back, excited for what God’s doing, and excited to keep taking one step at a time — even when I can’t see the whole path yet.
