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.

Summer Series: A Mom & A Badass

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022

In this summer series “We Believe in the And” we are focusing on some cultural challenges that have come up probably due to social media, struggling through the pandemic, etc…and in this episode we are focusing on the AND of being A Mom & A Badass.

Mamas, it doesn’t matter if you do anything else at all during motherhood…if you’re a mom, you are a badass…it’s both/and. Mamas if you choose nothing else other than to love your children with everything you’ve got, then you are a badass. If you choose to be WAHM, corporate moms, teacher mom, ministry mom…whatever else you do alongside your motherhood is perfectly a-ok and y’all are badasses. Period.

One of our greatest struggles is finding the work/life balance when we are trying to do more and keeping boundaries around family time. We encourage you to do have awareness and be intentional with your time to keep this balance. Do you know your red flags when the tide begins to turn? You can be passionate about something other than your children and it is truly ok. God has created each one of us for His purpose and if He has given you something with deep meaning and purpose that can come alongside being a mother, then absolutely go for it. You are a badass!

We have each struggled with the feelings of killing it in our business one minute and then shaming ourselves for missing out on being our best as a mom. We have talked many times on this podcast about mom guilt and we don’t comply…we cannot feel guilty for doing the best we can in managing all that we do. The feelings of guilt and shame do not come from God…don’t accept them b/c they serve no purpose!

💙 We want you to celebrate the AND of being a mom and a badass. Celebrate stepping up into God given courage and confidence and shine bright mama because you are a badass!
