Spirit, Soul, and Body: Ways to Stop the Holiday Meltdown. Eileen shares nine practical ways to avoid freaking out during the holiday chaos, broken into three categories: spirit, soul, and body. After hosting over 20 guests in three weeks, including family, friends, and work connections, she reveals what actually works to maintain peace when your house is full, laundry is piled up, and everyone needs something from you. She discusses how the enemy uses the very things working for you (like morning routines) to distract you from God, why positioning yourself in a designated space matters more than you think, and the importance of being honest with God when you don't even know what to say. Eileen emphasizes being humble and apologetic when you mess up, choosing thankfulness over complaint when you could list a hundred things wrong, and being gracious with yourself when beds aren't made and meals are scraped together. She shares her maintenance journey after losing the last 10 pounds through menopause, introduces Raretra as the product helping her stay balanced, and explains why being a food snob (only indulging in tiramisu and dark chocolate) prevents mindless eating. The episode wraps the year with practical wisdom for entering 2026 without losing your mind in the process.

Eileen explores Proverbs 31:8 and the call to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, revealing how every woman is designed to take down a giant and be a voice for someone else. In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen walks through five questions that expose your true calling: Where are your burdens? Where has the devil tried to silence you? What are you wrestling with? Where is your hurt and trauma? What have you gone through that someone needs to hear? Eileen shares how God highlighted Ephesians 6:12 repeatedly over three days, reminding her that we don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. She discusses the difference between wrestling with doubt (from the enemy), wrestling with resistance (also from the enemy), and wrestling through refining (from the Lord preparing you for your calling). Eileen reveals how her own journey from brokenness in college athletics and the NFL world to helping women know their value shows that where the devil tries to silence you is often where God is calling you. She emphasizes that you may need healing before you can be the voice for others, introducing her coaching program Healed Mom Restored Home as a path to restoration so women can show up differently for those they're called to serve.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes tackles Proverbs 31:6-7 about giving strong drink to those in distress and challenges listeners to handle holiday stress differently than the world does. Right in the thick of birthday season with 14+ people in her house, Eileen shares five practical tools she uses to avoid holiday meltdowns: asking "in the grand scheme of things" before reacting, believing situations are done FOR you not TO you, speaking what you desire instead of complaining, using extra morning time to get ahead, and applying process of elimination to overwhelming tasks. She gets real about a flat tire in downtown LA minutes from their destination that could have ruined their Santa Barbara trip, explaining how choosing attitude over reaction turned crisis into a teaching moment. Eileen breaks down why waking at 4 AM to tidy, pray, and prep dinner in the slow cooker eliminates stress later, and how breaking overwhelming messes into small elimination tasks keeps you from freaking out on your kids. She addresses the necessity of the enemy concept, explaining why the devil throws obstacles right before your breakthrough and how recognizing his strategy helps you push through discouragement when launching something new. Discover the five tools that transform holiday chaos into opportunities for joy and teach your kids to handle adversity well.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes breaks down Proverbs 31:5 about rulers forgetting justice when they drink and challenges listeners to take alcohol out of the verse and put something else in. What's YOUR drink? What consumes you and causes you to forget the needs of those depending on you for leadership? Eileen gets honest about her own "drink" during the NFL wife years when shopping addiction consumed her attention while her kids were neglected in front of screens. She challenges moms to examine what impairs their judgment: scrolling social media, bitterness over a fight with your spouse, unforgiveness that makes you mentally absent, work obsession, or the "I'm not good enough" mindset that keeps you from making impact. Eileen identifies the three ways the enemy works in this area: distraction, discouragement, and deterrence, explaining how each one pulls you away from leading those who need you. She shares how waking at 4 AM to fold laundry while worshiping and praying allows her to be available when her family needs her, and offers Isaiah 26:3 as the antidote: keeping your mind fixed on God produces perfect peace that eliminates the need for numbing, distraction, or consumption. Discover what's impairing your leadership and how fixing your eyes on God keeps you present for those who depend on you.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes continues her teaching on Proverbs 31:4 about kings not guzzling wine by showing listeners exactly how she breaks down Bible verses to make it practical and applicable. As a mother who's navigated eight kids through divorce, cult situations, and rebuilding life, Eileen shares the five specific questions she asks when approaching Scripture: Who is God talking to? What are the physical implications? Why would someone do this? What example am I setting? Am I above reproach? She gets vulnerable about conversations with her 21-year-old son who wanted to drink after turning legal age, explaining how she guided him to his own conviction rather than forcing rules on him. Eileen addresses why she chooses not to drink even though it's permissible, breaking down whether alcohol is being used as a crutch for stress or socializing, and why leaders need clear judgment. She also tackles the "family devoted woman" lie that makes mothers think denying themselves means total neglect and burnout, explaining why the oxygen mask principle matters and how being stuck in your wounds prevents people from receiving the gifts God gave you to share. Discover the five questions that transform Bible reading into practical wisdom you can teach your kids and apply to every decision.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes uses Proverbs 31:4 to explore the difference between legalistic rules and convictions formed through a personal relationship with God. She shares how her strict no-alcohol policy during her first marriage unintentionally taught her kids that alcohol itself was sinful—and how those rules collapsed during her divorce. A conversation with her eight-year-old son about two Christian families with opposite views on alcohol helped her teach that conviction should come from God, not pressure from others. Eileen also discusses her journey with yoga, how seeking God’s guidance led to healing after hip surgery, and why forcing convictions damages relationships. She explains that true transformation happens when conviction becomes internal, and while some biblical instructions are clear, others require seeking God personally. Discover why your relationship with God should dictate your convictions, not rigid religious rules that create legalism instead of transformation.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes completes her three-part series on Proverbs 31:3 by addressing wives directly about their responsibility to protect their kings rather than ruin them. After covering how to raise sons and daughters in previous episodes, Eileen tackles the often-overlooked reality that wives can become the very women who destroy their husbands through disrespect, constant criticism, and approaching conflict like a man instead of a woman. She gets vulnerable about putting immense pressure on her husband Michael after remarrying, expecting perfection because all eyes were watching, and how a conversation about his role as provider for 15 kids completely shifted her perspective. Eileen shares five specific strategies starting with prayer, including the story of a marriage conference exercise where she prayed over her husband's eyes and he woke up seeing her differently. She breaks down why words of respect matter more than wives realize, how to listen to simple requests like cold drinks and organic berries, and why approaching your husband with vulnerability instead of toughness changes everything. Eileen also addresses the physical aspect, explaining that confidence and availability matter far more than perfect weight or appearance, and how honor and respect are the biggest components of sex appeal in marriage. Discover why the wife who builds her king up is the ultimate protection against women who would tear him down.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes tackles the flip side of Proverbs 31:3 by addressing how to raise daughters who refuse to become the kind of woman the Bible warns against. As a mother of eight with one biological daughter, Eileen gets honest about the challenges of raising girls in a culture that celebrates exposure over mystery and attention over respect. She shares five specific strategies for protecting your daughter's heart and identity, starting with building a relationship strong enough to have age-appropriate conversations about topics her own mother never discussed with her. Eileen reveals what happened when a football player confronted her about how she was presenting herself in college and how that wake-up call now shapes the wisdom she gives young women. She explains why being the example matters more than rules, teaching daughters to be classy and set apart rather than attention-seeking. Eileen breaks down the specific traits she's cultivating in her 11-year-old daughter and why mystery, modesty, and confidence attract the right kind of man while revealing everything attracts the wrong kind. She also addresses the father's role in this equation, sharing how she guides her husband Michael to love their daughter in ways that protect her from seeking male validation elsewhere. Discover why teaching your daughter she's treasured is the ultimate protection against becoming the woman who ruins kings.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes tackles Proverbs 31:3 which warns sons to keep themselves sexually pure and not waste their strength on women who ruin kings. As a mother of seven boys, Eileen shares her heart and practical strategies for raising sons who can see through seduction in a culture that praises women for showing skin and celebrates promiscuity. She breaks down five ways to be the mom your sons want to talk to about difficult topics like pornography, relationships, and sexual purity, starting with transparency about who you were before Christ so they never think you won't understand their struggles. Eileen shares her powerful prayer that love not be awakened in her sons until God brings the right person, and explains how she speaks Proverbs 6 and 7 over them from toddler-hood to help them recognize the characteristics of wayward women. She boldly redefines the term MILF as "Mom I'd Like to Follow," explaining her desire to be the kind of mother her sons' girlfriends and future wives want to emulate rather than compete with. Drawing from Life Skills International principles about unhealthy mother-son bonds, Eileen discusses preparing herself emotionally for the day when her sons' wives become their priority, and shares practical ways she's building relationships with potential future daughters-in-law while her boys are still young. Discover how to raise sons who value purity and godly character in women while becoming the kind of mother both your children and their future spouses want to follow.

In this concluding episode of the Proverbs 31:2 series on The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shifts focus from what to say to what NOT to say to your children. She shares four critical boundaries every parent needs to maintain: never bash their father in front of them (even in divorce), never speak negativity over them (including seemingly obvious statements like "you're so irresponsible"), never place emotional burdens on them they weren't meant to carry (like making your son your emotional support when your marriage struggles), and never compare them to siblings or use performance-based labels. Eileen vulnerably shares how she speaks healing over sickness instead of claiming illness, explaining her supernatural approach to staying healthy as a busy mom who can't afford to get sick. She addresses the dangerous mother-son bond that develops when women seek emotional connection from their sons instead of their husbands, using NFL examples of grown men who haven't properly left their mothers. Drawing from Life Skills International principles, Eileen explains how to find the positive trait in every seemingly negative characteristic your child displays, teaching parents to speak life by reframing "strong-willed" as "determined" and "annoying" as "detailed and organized." Learn the four statements that damage your children's hearts and discover what to say instead that builds them up and protects their identity.

In this continuation episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shares actual stories from her parenting journey that demonstrate the four principles discussed last week in action. She reveals how being pregnant during her escape from an abusive marriage created a peaceful environment for her unborn son despite external chaos, proving that a mother's spiritual and emotional state directly impacts her child's development even in the womb. Eileen vulnerably shares how she unknowingly told her young son to "fend for himself" when overwhelmed with multiple children, then later had to sit him down at age two to apologize and speak truth into his subconscious mind, witnessing an immediate shift in his demeanor. She opens up about how her ex-husband’s words led their sons to believe they were somehow to blame for the divorce, and how she helped them heal by guiding them back to the truth. Eileen also discusses releasing her oldest son from the false life commandment that he had to be the man of the house after his father left, and shares how she's nurturing each child's unique bent - from the organized son who catalyzed her whole house cleaning journey to the craftsman son who builds furniture to her creative daughter who sees possibility in trash. This episode provides concrete examples that bring the theoretical principles to life, showing parents exactly what speaking truth and breaking life commandments looks like in real family situations. Hear real stories that show you exactly how to apply these principles with your own children, regardless of their age or your family circumstances.

In this continuation episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shares four life-changing principles from Life Skills International that transformed how she parents her eight children through divorce, trauma, and everyday challenges. Drawing from her seven years as a facilitator, Eileen reveals the single most important truth every parent needs to understand: all kids take responsibility for all losses all the time, meaning children naturally blame themselves for divorce, death, abuse, and family dysfunction even when it has nothing to do with them. She explains how life commandments - statements like "you're stupid" or "eat everything on your plate" - become permanent programming that follows children into adulthood, and shares her own life commandment about appearance that stemmed from overhearing one comment her father made to her mother. Eileen discusses the grammar stage of classical education and why the early years are critical for planting truth in children's subconscious minds through songs, scripture, and repetition. She also addresses the biblical principle of training children in their bent, explaining how parents often squash their children's natural gifting by trying to make them replicate the parent's interests or accomplishments. This episode provides deep psychological and spiritual insights for parents who want to understand what's happening beneath the surface of their children's behaviors and help them process difficult life experiences with truth rather than lies. Discover why your children might be carrying guilt and shame for things that aren't their fault and learn how to speak truth into their subconscious minds.

In this Season 2 premiere of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shares her unexpected three-month journey when God called her to completely surrender her work dreams and focus solely on family during summer vacation. What started as a simple garage cleaning project became a divine masterclass in spiritual and physical transformation that changed everything. After moving her family of eight from Wisconsin to California and living in chaos for three years, Eileen discovered that God's command to "clean house" wasn't just about organization - it was about creating space for His blessings. She reveals the specific order God led her through, from tackling neglected spaces to dealing with financial audits, and how each step mirrored the healing work He was doing in her heart. Eileen explains why God won't give you more than you can handle and how getting your house in order - both literally and spiritually - becomes the foundation for everything else He wants to do in your life. This episode will inspire you to see cleaning and organizing as acts of worship that prepare you for greater purpose. Learn how surrendering your agenda creates space for God's agenda and why healing always leads to freedom.

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, former college strength coach Eileen Noyes thought writing about Proverbs 31:17 would be easy - until God made her wrestle with it for four weeks straight. At 52 and navigating menopause, she discovers that her expertise meant nothing when God wanted to teach her something deeper about true strength. Eileen breaks down the 7 essential phases of strength training and reveals their shocking parallels to spiritual growth, from initial assessment (examining yourself in faith) to progressive overload (trusting God's increasing challenges). She exposes three sneaky ways women get sidelined - in marriage, health, and purpose - and shares her proven method for staying strong in every season. You'll learn why resistance isn't your enemy but your greatest tool for growth, how to push through spiritual plateaus just like physical ones, and why starting with "milk" before "meat" applies to both Bible study and bench pressing.
