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 honest truths, and a whole lot of sisterly love.

Whether you come from a big family, a blended one, or you’re just figuring it out as you go, this episode is a reminder that everyone’s story is unique—and there’s always space to grow, reflect, and find a little humor along the way.

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.

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 to peek in our windows and scare us to death, and we took a walk down memory lane to the simpler days when all we needed was our imagination, some neighborhood friends, and a little blackjack chewing gum.

I also shared how much I appreciate the legacy of my grandma, a true prayer warrior who spent her days on her knees for all of us.

From stealing bubble gum to stealing cars as a kid, this episode is full of stories that shaped who I am today.

Grab a coffee, sit back, and join me and my mom for this heartfelt and hilarious conversation.

You might laugh, you might cry—but either way, I hope it leaves you feeling like part of the family.

Let’s do this.
