Feeling like a frazzled, coffee-reheating, “I’ve got this” mom who’s actually barely holding it together? You’re not alone. Welcome to Unlikely Housewives — the Christian mom podcast where two real women (and moms) trade people-pleasing for freedom, self-care for soul-care, and “the hustle” for a life of purpose.
Tracy and Tori are Christian moms who met after moving their families across the country and realized they were both faking it, lonely, and tired of comparison. We’re recovering people-pleasers and straight shooters who believe God calls the unlikely — and that you were made for more than just surviving motherhood, marriage, and the daily grind.
On this show, we talk real about:
- Christian parenting with purpose (and the mess that comes with it)
- Marriage, faith, and the hard conversations no one wants to have
- Women’s health, emotional baggage, and ditching cultural lies
- How to stop pretending and start living with hope as a Christian mom
If you’re a busy, isolated Christian mom looking for encouragement, laughter, and a reminder that you’re not alone — this is your tribe. Pull up those high-waisted yoga pants, tighten your top knot, reheat your coffee (again), and let’s rise together in faith, motherhood, and marriage.

“Vulnerability builds intimacy and trust.”
You are going to love this episode with our guest, Noreen Dupriest. Tracy has been working with sweet Noreen as her therapist for herself and with her husband, Chris, to help in redefining their marriage and helping to build them stronger together.
Noreen has a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families. She is married, has 4 boys and never leaves home without her red lipstick. Noreen loves being an artist and a sculptor. The areas of focus in her office are: Anxiety, Couple Conflict, Depression, General Unhappiness, Infidelity, Loss, Grief and Heartbreak, Low Self-Esteem, Relationship Problems, Religious, Spiritual, or Faith Concerns and Women’s Issues.
In this episode we highlight:
—Tips and advice for someone considering therapy.
—Reasons why some may be fearful of taking the first step into therapy.
—Learning to sit comfortably in the discomfort, in order to process what’s really going on.
—Therapy is a place to, in your time, find your safe place to break down and allow the issues to unfold.
—You have value. Period. For who you are, not what you do. Sometimes you just need to be reminded of what those characteristics & attributes are.
—Childhood trauma creates such a mindset that puts expectations and standards on yourself and other relationships that just cannot always be met.
—Generational patterns will repeat themselves or Either you sit in that heat and realize that heat will either break you or bend you…you have to decide.
—“Expectations are the number one killer of relationships.”
Recognize it just takes ONE person in the family system to change and work on things to change the whole system.
