Would you Like to Increase Your Capacity for Excellence?
How high-achieving Catholics can consistently care for their bodies, order their days, and rely on God for everything
You've been told that in order to be successful,
you have to hustle and grind.
So you find yourself...
⚠ Eating ramen at your desk while you crank out just 1 more email…
⚠ Staying up until 1:00 AM to finish that sales page
⚠ Glued to your computer from morning to night–only moving to walk to the kitchen
⚠ Constantly distracted by your phone and always thinking about your business–-even when you want to spend time with your family
⚠ Calculating sales conversions at Mass instead of paying attention
Look, I get it. Your work is IMPORTANT and you know that it’s something that God’s called you to...
But The Stakes Are Too High to Continue Down this Path
It Leads To You...
➡ Driving your physical health into the ground, leaving you
- - Too sick and exhausted to continue working at your current pace
- - Ashamed of your current weight
- - Dealing with fertility issues and hormonal imbalance
- - Facing chronic health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and dementia
➡ Destroying your ability to focus or think clearly because of the constant stress and the strain you’re putting on your body and mind
➡ Damaging your most important relationships because you could never “be there”
➡ And worst of all, letting “worldly anxieties and the lure of riches” destroy your relationship with God–endangering your very soul.
And it’s not just about YOU.
You’re meant to bring as many people to Heaven with you as possible–so when you’re off your path, you hurt all the people who are depending on you to lead them to Heaven as well.
What if there was a better way to run this race?
This is high-performance coaching like you’ve never experienced before.

What's Included in
Mission-Driven Peak Performance
My goal is to help you form well-established habits of body, mind, and soul so that you are in thriving physical health, peacefully producing your highest-quality work, and making significant spiritual progress on your journey toward God.
Here's how we'll get there:
-
Weekly Training & Coaching
Each week you'll learn about a high-impact strategy or tactic of body, mind, or soul. I'll teach you what it is, the science/theology behind it, why it works, and present case studies of how it has been successfully applied.
You can then get coached on any roadblocks/sticky thoughts/challenges that are making it difficult to develop this habit.
-
Continuous Laser &
Micro-Coaching
You have two options to get continuous coaching throughout MDPP: 20-minute laser coaching sessions on Zoom or micro-coaching via our private Slack channel.
Laser coaching sessions focus on a specific challenge you're having and can be scheduled as needed. Micro-coaching is always available--think of it as having a Coach in your pocket.
-
Habits Scaffolding
This is where the rubber meets the road--most new habits fail to stick because they aren't properly scaffolded into your daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms and routines.
We'll be working together throughout the 6-month program to gradually build out your custom-made Rule of Life--so that each high-impact habit you choose to adopt has a time and a place to get accomplished.
-
Community Support
You won't be doing this alone. Not only will you have the support of a cohort of like-minded Catholic entrepreneurs, you'll also have access to A Thriving Catholic Membership Community--this includes access to all of my courses and programs as well as a private Facebook group.
And there's nothing like a friendly competition to push you to the next level! Each month you'll have the opportunity to participate in challenges designed to help you grow in a specific way.

Meet Your Coach
Jessica Castillo
Catholic Life Coach | Certified Health Coach
Hi, I'm Jessica, a wife, mom, former Army Officer, and the founder of A Thriving Catholic.
I've had a lifelong passion for excellence and high-achievement--desires that drove me to graduate first in my branch from The United States Military Academy at West Point and go on to earn Officer of the Year accolades during my time on active duty service and through two combat deployments to Iraq.
But after years of relying on my own strength, talents, and abilities to achieve a worldly standard of success--I hit a wall. I realized that I was working for a perishable crown and chasing the wrong goal.
When I turned to God and asked him to show me his plan for me, he revealed how every desire for excellence I've ever had can be more than fulfilled in service to him. I could offer him all of my gifts, talents, and skills, and he would multiply and magnify them beyond my wildest dreams--and use them to fulfill a purpose that he uniquely created me for.
Since then, it's been my mission to lead other Catholics on this path of excellence and service. It's my goal to create an army of faithful Catholics who have the energy, strength, focus, and fortitude to do the important work that God has created them for.
I don't know exactly what that work is or how it will transform the world...but I do believe that God is up to something--and it will be better than anything I can imagine.
What My Clients Have to Say
I know that you're wondering if Mission-Driven Peak Performance is right for you. I can personally tell you that coaching is what has helped me reach the next level in my professional and personal life and I believe that it can help you as well.
But don't just take my word for it...Check out what my other clients are saying:
“Hiring Jessica will be the best decision you ever make for yourself, your family and your work. I thought I knew a lot about healthy habits before I met Jessica, but it turns out that there was SO much I didn't know. Specifically the why's and how things truly work.
Jessica goes a lot deeper in the information she provides and always over-delivers with value first. She teaches so well and relates to all our struggles. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience and a great guide.
Jessica is the best cheerleader - even when I thought I had an awful week, she helped me see all the wins and progress I had made on my health journey.
Working with Jessica is so valuable in that she helps you identify the root cause of what is keeping you stuck and helps you make progress with little shifts.
Even if you think you know everything there is to know about healthy habits, you will have a lot to gain with the hacks that Jessica shares to help you achieve optimal health and peak-performance in every area of your life.
If you are stuck in any way, Jessica is likely the "missing ingredient" in your health journey - she will help you with your mindset and the shifts you can make to obtain optimal health and peak performance.”
Joann G.
Podcast Producer
I have more energy throughout the day and an easier time falling asleep. I knew that I needed to eat healthier but wasn't quite sure HOW to go about it.
Jessica was such an excellent guide, encouraging me along the way and providing step-by-step guidance.
Deb M.
Entrepreneur, Mom
She really knows how to get you to dig deep into those uncomfortable feelings so that you can heal from the inside out!
And she does it with the utmost love and respect. The very two things I lacked, but needed when dealing with my own emotional eating problems.
I’ve had life coaching with different coaches before, and I truly believe Jessica has been the one coach to finally help me turn my spiritually empty, unhealthy and overly critical self back to the woman who knows she is loved by God and who can comfortably experience negative emotions instead of turning to food."
Yvette M.
Mom of 3
Jessica is an exceptional coach who genuinely cares about her community’s success. Her micro-coaching is incredibly supportive, and the group calls offer accountability and encouragement.
Jessica’s well-thought-out and engaging lessons and homework assignments have helped me make the necessary tweaks to live a healthier lifestyle.
With her guidance and support, I am eating better, sleeping better, and get more movement and prayer in my day.
Overall, I feel grateful for the opportunity to work with Jessica and highly recommend her to anyone looking to achieve a greater sense of well-being in a supportive community with other Catholics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have any questions that aren't on this list, feel free to reach out to me at jessica@athrivingcatholic.com.
How long does MDPP last?
MDPP is a 6-month, cohort based program. The next cohort starts on Wednesday 1 Nov 2023 and runs through the end of Apr 2024 (6 months).
When are the weekly training/coaching meetings?
We’ll meet via Zoom for approximately 60 minutes each Wednesday at 8 AM PT/11 AM ET.
What if I can’t attend live?
All training calls will be recorded and available in a membership portal, so you can always watch the replays when you have time. You can also submit any questions in advance and I will answer them live on the call.
You can also schedule 20-minute 1:1 Laser Coaching sessions whenever you need to.
Does this replace spiritual direction?
No, this program does not replace spiritual direction. I would recommend that anyone wishing to pursue spiritual direction find a qualified trained spiritual director. That being said, this program will push you to grow spiritually and encourage you to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit to grow in your own spiritual life.
Is this only for entrepreneurs?
No, this program is open to any mission-driven Catholic who wants to radically improve their physical, mental, and spiritual health.
That said, this program was originally designed with Catholic entrepreneurs in mind, so some of that language remains--it doesn't change the fact that you can be a mission-driven SAHM, homeschooler, or employee and still benefit greatly from this program!
What if I don’t have time for another “thing”?
I get it–we’re all busy. But the reality is that investing a little bit of your time and energy in high-impact habits that are going to maximize your energy, focus, productivity, and peace will pay dividends. You will be able to accomplish more, better, and with less stress.
How will this help me be better in my business?
You are the greatest asset in your business–as well as the “choke point” for growth. Investing in yourself: your health, your skills, and your reliance on God–will enable you to become the best version of yourself and to perform at the best of your ability.
I don’t think I can afford this.
You’ll have to do your own cost-benefit analysis here. How much is poor health going to cost you in medical expenses (or costing you now in lost sick days)? What are the opportunity costs of not using your time well or growing in skills that enable you to perform better? What does it profit you to “gain the whole world, but lose your soul”?
How long will I have Access to the Content in MDPP?
You don’t need to worry about falling beyond or if “life happens” while you’re in MDPP–you will have lifetime access to all MDPP content and bonuses, so you can revisit it at any time. (Please note that live coaching and support is only available for the 6 months of your cohort).
I know that God has created you to do something amazing for his greater glory. I want to support you in accomplishing your mission by helping you get the energy, focus, and vitality you need to serve at the highest possible level.
