In this episode, I’m joined by my sister, Stephanie Patterson, for a conversation that’s equal parts personal, lighthearted, and reflective. We talk about growing up together, how different our memories can be of the same events, and how those early experiences shaped who we are today. We also dig into the ways life has changed over the years—how we parent, how we handle holidays, and how we’re learning to create more peace and presence in a fast-paced world. There’s some laughter, a few hone...

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 bein...
Hey y’all, it’s Trish—The Cowboy’s Wife—and in this episode, I’m celebrating Mother’s Day with one of my very favorite people—my mom, Jenny Mansfield. I invited her on to share some of our favorite memories, the good, the awkward, and the downright hilarious. We talked about what it was like growing up in a strict Assembly of God household, including the time I got scared of the “Holy Ghost” and tried to speak Spanish during church. We laughed about our crazy neighbor Gaylord, who used ...
Hey y’all, it’s Trish—The Cowboy’s Wife—and in this episode, I’m flying solo to share something that’s been years in the making: my new book, Stay Hooked. This one’s raw, real, and straight from the heart. I take y’all behind the scenes on what it was like to pour my soul into this story—through the ups, the doubts, the lonely moments, and the big breakthroughs. It’s more than just pages—it’s a piece of my life, our rodeo journey, and Emma’s incredible story. I talk about what it took to fina...
Hey y’all, it’s Trish—The Cowboy’s Wife—and in this episode, I sat down with someone who’s not only a friend, but truly an inspiration…former PBR pick up man, Stu Crowe. Stu and I talked about life, faith, and the kind of growth that doesn’t happen overnight. He shared his incredible story with raw honesty. What he later came to realize, that even in the worst places, God was there every step of the way. We laughed, we got a little emotional, and most of all, we dug into what it looks l...
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 ch...
Hey y’all. This episode hits a little different. I found myself out checking cows the other day — Kevin was out of town — and as I watched a group of baby calves play off in the woods, it stirred something in me. It brought back memories of my own childhood, running wild with my friends, always chasing freedom and avoiding rules. But it also made me think about choices… and how those choices shape our lives in ways we don’t always realize. With Easter around the corner, I couldn’t help but r...
Hey friends, in this episode, I sit down with Ashleigh Gibson to talk about the incredible journey she and her husband have walked through—the heartbreak of infertility, the faith that carried them through it, and the long road to finally conceiving. We dive into the raw and real emotions of loss, the moments of questioning, and the unexpected ways God showed up in their story. After investing so much time, energy, and resources into IVF, their journey was anything but easy. But through it al...
Hey friends, in this episode, I talk about faith, gratitude, and those little moments when you just know God is speaking—whether it’s through a quiet nudge or a wake-up call you can’t ignore. In this episode, I dive into the importance of thanking God in our daily lives and the way He shows up, even when we don’t always understand it at the time. There’s something so powerful about taking a step back and asking yourself: If I only got to keep the things I thanked God for today, what would I h...
Life has a way of throwing us into battles we never saw coming. Today, I had the privilege of sitting down with my dear friend, Taylor Jones, as she opened up about the journey her family walked through when her daughter, Teagan, faced a life-threatening diagnosis. As moms, we do everything we can to protect our babies, but there are moments when we realize we’re not in control. And that is terrifying. Taylor and her husband, Brett, found themselves in that exact place—navigating doctor visit...
Today I had the privilege of hosting my friend Cheramie Hebert who stepped out in faith to open up about her struggles with the hard topics of infertility and post-partum depression. These are real issues that many women deal with more often than we realize and they need to know they are not alone. We are all guilty of trying to handle things on our own. We are ashamed to ask anyone for help, because we are afraid to look weak. After all, we all try to be Superwoman to our families, jo...
Hey y’all! In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Kimberly Stuart, an author and my coach who knows a lot about stepping out in faith. We chat about her latest book, Star for Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit), a deeply personal and heartfelt look at her journey of finding grace and purpose. She opens up about both the joyful and difficult moments in her life, sharing stories that are honest, relatable, and full of wisdom. Kim and I talk about everything from learning new skills (yes, even ...

As the conversation unfolds, Mark reveals the choices he made that led him down a difficult road—one that included financial misconduct, immense personal struggle, and ultimately, legal consequences. He speaks candidly about the pressure to maintain appearances, the intern...
In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Sierra Teegarden to have a heartfelt and powerful conversation about the transformative power of returning to God. Sierra shares her deeply personal journey, from navigating life in the adult entertainment industry to finding her way back to faith and discovering where she truly belongs—walking with God. We dive into the setbacks and struggles she faced, the moments of doubt and pain, and the invaluable lessons she learned along the way. Through...
In this episode, I share the conversation with Jennifer Leach-Harlow, and we talk about how I’ve come to see that God has a reason for each of us to exist. Through my journey in Bible study and teaching kids, I’ve witnessed firsthand how faith can change lives. It’s amazing to see how, even unintentionally, we can help someone draw closer to God—just by sharing His word. That’s exactly what I strive to do with this podcast. To me, having a relationship with God is just like any other meaningf...
In this episode, something got me thinking—how often do we underestimate the role light plays in our lives? From faith and scripture to the small ways brightness shifts our perspective, light changes everything. I’ll share how this simple realization turned into a deeper reflection on the ways light guides us, both literally and metaphorically. Whether it’s a reminder to seek out positivity, appreciate the good around us, or just recognize the little ways we’re influenced by our surroundings,...

My hope is to leave you with encouragement to find humor, inspiration, and meaning in everyday life. If you're loo...
Hey friends! In this episode, I share a reflection that’s deeply personal to me—a glimpse into the joy and fulfillment I’ve found in serving others. The inspiration came from a recent trip to Mexico, where I had a memorable encounter with a waiter whose exceptional kindness and dedication left a mark on me and my companions. His genuine joy in serving others struck a chord deep within me and sparked a connection to a greater purpose. As I recount this story, I can’t help but draw a powerful p...
Hey friends! In this episode, I’m diving into a truth that’s been heavy on my heart: people need people. I’ll be talking about how, in times of tragedy, many of us are drawn closer to God, seeking His comfort and strength. We’ll also reflect on how God places certain people in our lives—sometimes to help us take accountability, sometimes to motivate or inspire us, and sometimes simply to remind us we’re not alone. Each connection can be a blessing, even when it comes as a lesson. And through ...
Hey friends, again, Happy New Year! 🎉 In this episode, I’m sharing a little bit of everything—a true plethora of reflections. I’ll talk about my Word of the Year, why I chose it, and how I hope it will shape the year ahead. I’ll also touch on winter on the ranch, Christmas memories, and even a movie I recently watched that left me thinking. Life isn’t always perfect or planned, and that’s okay. Sometimes, we need to let go of negativity, release fear, and choose to make this year better—one...
