"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times." ― G. Michael Hopf,  Weak men dont only create issues for our society but they create masculine/ hard women.  Lets go over some root causes of this epidemic of weak men and its affects on women.  We will also share the Blessing of strong men in a future episode.  What woman doesnt desire and RESPECT a loving, strong, healthy, convicted, cherishing, protective, provisional and disciplined man? disclaimer * there is a 3-5 min section in the middle where we talk about Sex/ porn*

Hey friends so happy to be back with you and close out 2024 with this episode that includes 8 lessons and things we have practied and learned this last year especially as we celebrate one year of marriage bliss, peace and blessing next month. If I included our fave products, foods, music and health things this would of taken way too long. You can find most of that shared on the IG story.  As usual we also share some of our every day life, you will hear max and remi make an appearance (these pups are like toddlers sometimes) and we will keep it super real , authentic and honest as we share.  We also pray a blessing over you at the end so be sure to listen all the way thru.  Here is the devotions mentioned: https://a.co/d/dPGLqsD https://a.co/d/3xh022O   Much love, connection and grace to your Christmas and into 2025

Do you feel connected daily, thru the day or do you long for more depth and intamcy on every level? The key might be in the routines, rythems and what seems like little things.  If you want a better sex life it starts with consistent daily connections, healthy practices and the things we share in this impactful episode.  We are sharing some of our daily rythems that keep us connected on every level and how valueable they are to the health and depth of what we share. Never underestimate the power of FUN, affection, Flirting and shared interests.  Join us for our usual unscripted, unedited , authetnic , real and FULL of laughter conversation.  We deeply appreciate your love, support, listens, shares and the support of our businessess    If you love all things holistic and healthy living shop here If you are looking for help or support on anything $$$ related from budgets, debt, investing, legacy banking, retirement and more book your session with Mike here   

WHEWWWWW do we even deserve Mike and his transparency, humilty , humor and authentic truth?! Its so rare these days and I love hearing him share his journey and his heart. I hope you will hold what we share softly, wisely and sacredly.  We of course go a bit off roading in this episode but its GOLD. Im so thankful if our message can reach and inspire even just one. Our culture truly needs a shift back to biblical values as well as men and women owning who God made them fully and transforming their communities by LIVING these values.  The need for STRONG HEALTHY BIBLICAL MASCULINE men is at an ALL TIME HIGH. Just as the need for women to see men as MEN and for us women to not mother, control or try to be men ourselves is just as important.  What we know is that Gods grace is enough and no one is too far gone to be healed, transformed and renwed.  Our hearts of full of gratitude for just that and for all of your support and love. We pray this message blesses you richly. with love from our organic polarized hearts, Mike and Chrissy pages mentioned in this podcast forming men brave men co awaken church keep your love on / danny silk

PART TWO is here and is packed with depth, laughter, wisdom and authenticity.  We are grateful to share, to have you in our corner and to get to bring hope to those in any simiilar situations, journeys or that just need some inspiration for the day to day. Covenant is sacred, Covenant is worth it, Covenant is what heals hearts, homes and communities (healthy ones that is) Just as our stories can heal, awaken and transform so can divine love.  Thank you for being a witness to our ONLY GOD story and our ONLY GOD union.  We have loved hearing your feedback from part 1 and you being a witness to our chemistry and love is a gift.  Love, blessings and 4ever focused xoxox 

This has been the most requested podcast.... How did Mike and I meet, who is he and what is our story. We decided to not only give you that but SO much more. We gathered a lot of the questions you have sent over from celibacy to dating, grief and beyond and bring them to you in this very transparent, raw and sacred two part conversation. Also please do let me know if you know anyone who lost their child and got married in the same year please for the love send them my way. LIFE IS WILD. I thought after running a business thru a pandemic , getting divorced, loosing beloved friends and mentorss as well as raising strong willed teenagers was enough sorrow, suffering and refining for me .. BUT enter 2023.  ONLY GOD could reedeem, restore, heal, renew and use this journey to inspire, help , heal and bring hope to others.  Thank you to my amazing husband for sharing so openly and allowing yall into this part of the journey with us. I have nothing but the highest honor, respect, love and adoration for him.      

Im back beloveds and this is raw, real, emotional, triggering and a lot. BUT its necessary. This is my first episode Sense my son Noah was upgraded to heaven, first as Chrissy Castaneda and the first of 2024. Life is WYLLLDDD and God is good. Yes even in the face of tragic loss.  Please forgive the sniffing (not the crying) as you know I don't edit these and keep it authentic , flawed and real with you all.  I pray this episode speaks to your heart, inspires your faith and brings you hope. Please help me share this message and pass it on to three friends you know would value it.  With love and gratitude Mrs. Castaneda (yeeee)
