Get to know me…

Hey there! I’m Michelle Castro! ✨

Born and raised in sunny Southern California, I’ve always had a love for warm beaches, good food, and a little adventure. I’m a Jesus-loving, taco-chasing, pink-haired girl mama who believes life is best lived with faith, family, and fun. My heart belongs to my amazing husband and our beautiful daughters, and when I’m not soaking up time with them, you can probably find me dreaming about my next beach trip or sipping on a vanilla latte.

I’d drive just about anywhere for good tacos, and if I ever go missing, there’s a good chance I’ve finally packed my bags and moved to Florence, Italy (because, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t?).

Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to connect with you! 💕

from the listeners:

"Hi! I’m so glad I found your podcast and resources. This is just the info I need for my marriage."

~podcast listener
"This podcast is SUCH a refreshing listen. Michelle tackles conversation about intimacy from a Christian perspective, but in a way that feels honest, thoughtful and real— not too sugar coated. She creates space for open, vulnerable HONEST dialogue while grounding it all in scripture. If you've ever wrestled with questions about purity culture, relationships, how to open discussion about it, or just figuring out what healthy intimacy looks like and what God's word says about it in your marriage, take a listen! Thank you Michelle for "ripping the band aid off" and creating a safe space to open honest conversation!"

~podcast listener
"Michelle doesn't hold back from tackling those topics that are publically not talked about much (or at all) but that every Christian woman is either thinking about or feeling in her heart. As a biblically focused health coach, conversations like these here on RIP IT OFF are truly balm to the female soul. Keep going, Michelle!!"

~podcast listener
"Michelle is real and authentic! She delivers solid advice, backed by biblical wisdom and truth! A must listen to for any Christian wife!"

~podcast listener
"Michelle's podcast is a powerful and refreshing voice for Christian women ready to break free from limitations. Michelle speaks with boldness and clarity, pointing listeners back to biblical truth in every episode. Her messages are honest, thought-provoking, and deeply encouraging-helping you peel back the layers and step into who God created you to be. I love the real talk, spiritual insight, and the push to live with intention and freedom! Great topic for Christian women!"
