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.

Hey Housewives!
If you haven’t listened to the detox download episode yet, pause this episode and go listen to that one first! Or don’t! We can’t tell you what to do, ha!
➡️ Let’s discuss last year’s NY resolutions…
➡️ God is not done with you…we are all unfinished
➡️ We are on a journey together. This is not a fix one issue per episode kind of thing. We are figuring this out together and your timeline is not anyone’s else’s.
➡️ Unfinished resolution vs New Year resolution:
—clean slate, starting fresh, it’s going to be different, new beginnings
➡️ Don’t change your goal, change your timeline…
➡️ Les Brown said, Your past is not your prison! Or like Elsa said… LET IT GO!
➡️ What circumstances are you holding on to that are keeping you from moving forward?
💙 Encouragement: What is your unfinished resolution? What is on your heart that you want to do…to step into your unlikeliness and be more of who God called you to be.
Wrap up comments: We made it to 6 episodes…and we couldn’t be more excited where we are headed. Thank you for helping us launch this at the end of a year, during the holidays and we’d love for you to write us a review and be ready for new episodes in January.
DISCLAIMER:This episode was recorded before the passing of Betty White. The conversation was only in jest. We have a great respect for Betty White and her incredible impact on the entertainment industry. She will be greatly missed on the TV and movie screen. Thank you.

Hey Housewives:
Time to download what is going on inside us…end of year audit, a physical if you will…what’s working for us & what’s not.
Detox isn’t just “cleanses” or “eliminations”, diets, etc…it’s clearing out space for good things to come in.
- 3 areas we encourage you to do a detox download:
Mental, physical & spiritual
Mental:
- Declutter—physical space in the house…kitchen, bedroom, closet, kids toys…what frustrates you the most and keeps you overwhelmed and doing nothing. Clear your space to clear your head.
- Give Back Box
Physical:
- Get your sweat on—easiest way to detox. Workout, sauna, hot bath
- Drink water…Sleep…limit alcohol…
Spiritual:
- Remove the fluff…when was the last time you just sat down and read your bible?
- Signs you need a spiritual detox: Your heart hurts…for what’s going on around you and inside. You tend to shy away from prayer or quiet time…avoidance isn’t the answer.
Our encouragement to you is to do a detox download audit for yourself…draw awareness to what is in your control and what isn’t.

Housewives!
What are we talking about now:
- Natural fear vs unnatural fear…
- Natural fear: experiencing fear naturally and facing it confidently because you know it feels right…going off to college, marriage, Motherhood.
- Unnatural fear: (an experience or circumstance that we choose) work, owning your own business, working out, health journey, dreams. people don’t always understand, people haven’t done what you are about to do.
Everyone deals with fear…in natural or unnatural circumstances…how will you handle it? Paralyzed and stay where you are OR step into a great adventure…be courageous and brave!
Flip the thinking on the unnatural fear…an adventure…
- What keeps us afraid—the fears of not doing what you are called to do…or just doing anything at all…being a people pleaser “what will they think of me”, judgment, offending someone, imposter syndrome, why aren't there enough out there like us?
- Look back at the natural decisions you’ve made to build your confidence in stepping into the unnatural space.
- If God brings you to it, he’ll bring you through it.
“For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11
What we want to leave you with today…
- Housewives…what adventure do you want to have in 2022? Will you stay where you are in your comfort zone or will you step out into your unlikeliness and into who God calls you to become?

Housewives!
What are we talking about now:
- Finding the healthy balance of saying Yes and saying No.
- Not letting guilt of what used to be drive your current decisions…let the past go and create new boundaries.
- Boundaries don’t have to have a negative connotation. It’s setting limits and can set you free from what’s holding you back.
- We encourage you to protect your mental health, guard your heart and sustain the peace of this season for your family.
- Lastly, the greatest boundary to consider this Christmas season is protecting your health and wellness by limiting your stress and restraining yourself from overindulging in eating all the holiday goodies and drinking too much.
- Boundaries have a place in your life and are helpful. We’d love to know what boundaries you have set in place to protect your peace, your health and your heart.
