Unlikely Housewives
Unlikely Housewives
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.

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed by “New Year, New You” pressure, and not sure where to start with your health? In this episode, Tracy and Tori sit down with Esther Yunkin, a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience in emergency and holistic health, and host of the Health with Hashimoto’s podcast. Esther helps exhausted women with Hashimoto’s regain energy with simple, sustainable strategies that actually fit real mom-life. Esther shares why you don’t need a massive overhaul or a 75-hard style challenge to feel better and why healing often starts with the most basic, ordinary habits that connect you to your body, to the earth, and to God. She also explains how stress, your nervous system, and even your breathing patterns are impacting your energy more than you realize—and gives you practical, doable steps you can start today, even if you’re listening months after January. In This Episode, We Talk About The pressure of New Year health goals, social media “fixes,” and why most big resolutions aren’t sustainable for busy moms. Esther’s journey from ER nurse to holistic health practitioner and why she became passionate about prevention instead of band-aid medicine. What Hashimoto’s is, why so many exhausted women are being told “your labs look fine,” and the role of stress and cellular health. The two main nervous system states (fight/flight vs. rest/digest) and how they affect digestion, sleep, and healing. A simple diaphragmatic breathing practice you can do anytime, anywhere—and why 10 deep breaths before meals and bed can shift your whole day. How to use “triggers” (like buckling your seatbelt or bedtime routines) to build tiny, consistent habits that actually stick. Why “simple and sustainable” beats “go big or go home” when it comes to long-term wellness for mamas. Guest Bio Esther Yunkin is a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience in emergency medicine and holistic health. After 17 years in the ER, she became frustrated with conventional care’s band-aid approach and shifted her focus to helping exhausted women with Hashimoto’s regain their energy without overwhelm. She is the host of the Health with Hashimoto’s podcast and creator of the Holistic Hashimoto’s program, where she teaches simple, sustainable strategies for lasting wellness. Esther lives in rural Minnesota with her husband and their four boys, where they homeschool, garden, and raise flocks of chickens.
