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.

Podcast Summary
What if stepping out of your comfort zone could lead to a life driven by faith and purpose? Join us as we uncover the remarkable story of Philip Sarnecki, a Kansas businessman who left behind a thriving career to answer a higher calling—running for governor. With ventures spanning industries from entrepreneurship to movie production, Philip's journey into politics is a testament to courage, faith, and a business-minded approach to governance. His inspiring leap from humble beginnings to the political stage serves as a reminder of the powerful transformation that can occur when you trust in a greater plan.
Guided by God, Phillip and his wife, Heidi, have embarked on this new path as a family. We dive into Philip's admiration for leaders like Ronald Reagan and the impact of formative experiences such as the National Youth Leadership Conference. As he shares his frustrations with the current political landscape and his transition from business to politics, Philip emphasizes the importance of faith, prayer, and family support. This candid conversation reveals the deep-rooted motivations and the significant role of faith in Philip's decision to enter the gubernatorial race.
Kansas faces unique challenges, from population retention to bureaucratic barriers hindering small businesses. Together, we explore these issues and the opportunities they present for growth, especially in a post-pandemic world. Personal anecdotes highlight Kansas's potential as a family-friendly state, while insights from John Maxwell's leadership principles underscore the value of stepping out and trusting in a higher calling. Through themes of courage, sacrifice, and the influence of American history, this episode encourages listeners to embrace their faith-driven journeys and pursue impactful change.
