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.

91. Voting for an Audience of One

Tuesday Oct 15, 2024

As the co-hosts of Unlikely Housewives, we decided to wade into some uncharted waters that we find ourselves navigating through today. Opening in prayer, we set the stage for a candid discussion about the weight of our roles as citizens and believers in a world that often feels unsettling. Our dear friend Suzanne joins us to reflect on how recent years, particularly the recent pandemic, have shifted our perspectives. We acknowledge the importance of being vigilant and responsive to the spiritual unease we sometimes feel, encouraging our listeners to question how their hearts align with the Lord amidst the chaos.

Listen in as we address the complexities of teaching compassion versus empathy, especially within a Christian context. We explore the challenge of distinguishing feelings from facts, highlighting the concept of "toxic empathy," where emotions can cloud judgment. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the importance of teaching children to appreciate different perspectives and emphasize discernment in an era of biased narratives and algorithms. We also examine the struggle of feeling disconnected from foundational values during times of misinformation and societal pressure, urging our listeners to stay informed and engaged, particularly when it comes to civic duties like voting.

While acknowledging the importance of God's love, we emphasize the need for teachings on sin, repentance, and transformation through Christ. The conversation touches on the financial and social impacts of illegal immigration, highlighting the importance of enforcing immigration laws to maintain order. As we seek facts and unity in political discourse, we encourage listeners to evaluate candidates based on their policies and track records, empowering them to make informed choices that align with their values. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of grounding beliefs in biblical truth and staying engaged in meaningful conversations about faith and politics. And most importantly…we encourage and invite you to VOTE this election!
