Eileen Noyes closes out 2025 with three life-changing questions to carry into the new year: (1) Challenge your mindset, (2) Go to the source, and (3) Who does God specifically say you are? She shares how seeing Voddie Baucham describe the ideal godly man triggered discouragement about her remarriage until God reminded her that every couple struggles, and He doesn't work from a cookie-cutter mold. In this episode of The Unsidelined Life podcast Eileen reveals the shocking biblical definition of "woman of virtue" from Proverbs 31, explaining that the Hebrew word "chayil" doesn't mean nice, soft, or polite but rather strength, power, valor, warrior, and part of an army.

Eileen challenges listeners to examine where their beliefs about womanhood come from (the NFL world, religious teachings, cultural expectations, the world's standards) versus what God actually says, then search out the meaning of their own name to discover their specific calling. She shares how her name Eileen means radiant, light, torch, and bright, confirming multiple times people told her she was a light before she even knew her name's meaning, and how she intentionally named all eight of her children with Arabic and biblical names that carry purpose they're now living out.

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.

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.
