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.

“If a child is old enough to love, they are old enough to grieve.”
“Our grief is an equal measure to our love.”
Have you ever thought about your children’s behaviors being affected by grief or loss? Loss of a friendship, a bad grade on a test, a loss of a pet, a big move, a family miscarriage, parents divorcing, or the loss of a loved one…these are all things that can truly bother a child yet they don’t have the words or tools to vocalize. In this episode, Valerie Rhodes does an incredible job of giving us some tools and shining some light on ways to cope with grief.
Valerie Rhodes is a grief counselor, author, speaker, workshop instructor, and Christian Grief Counseling, LLC owner. She earned her BA in Management of Human Resources from MidAmerica Nazarene University in Kansas. All continuing education focuses on dying, death, grief, loss, and disaster, with hope for recovery, rescue, and restoration.
As a long-term cancer survivor and then caregiver for a cancer survivor, Valerie has continued to serve others with chronic illness and death-related issues. She offers grief support workshops and teaches skills and tools to help others cope with their personal grief and losses. With her biblical worldview and as a trained member of the Overland Park, KS, FEMA Community Emergency Response Team, she specializes in helping others deal with diverse grief and disaster.
When our children are dealing with so many things at once, it feels like their whole world is falling apart. But can we learn to ask the right questions and help them get to the answer of “what is really bothering them the most?”
