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.

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, Tracy and Tori, your favorite Unlikely Housewives, sit down with Heather Day—author, ministry leader, and marketing expert—to discuss her book Money and Spirit: Surrendering Our Finances to the Work of the Holy Spirit. Heather shares her personal journey of financial struggles, the weight of debt, and how a prayer in an Applebee's parking lot led to a life-changing shift in her family's approach to money.
This isn’t your typical financial advice episode. Heather dives deep into the spiritual roots of financial decisions, exploring how the fruits of the Spirit—love, peace, self-control, and joy—can transform not just your bank account but your heart. Whether you're navigating debt, learning to trust God with your finances, or simply seeking a fresh perspective, this episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and practical takeaways.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How to invite God into your financial decisions.
- The importance of heart posture over budgeting tactics.
- Heather’s personal story of surrendering debt and finding peace.
- Why saying “no” to your kids (and yourself) can be a spiritual discipline.
