In this vulnerable solo episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes tackles every parent's most haunting question: "Have you ever said anything to your kids that you regret?" Drawing from Proverbs 31:2 which asks "What my son, what shall I advise you?" Eileen shares five transformative principles that have guided her through raising eight children ranging from age 7 to 22. From navigating difficult conversations about their father's abandonment to handling everyday disputes between siblings, Eileen demonstrates how seeking God's guidance in the moment can prevent the regret that comes from reactive parenting. She addresses the challenge of age-appropriate conversations, the importance of not freaking out when your children make mistakes, and how to create a safe environment where kids feel comfortable being honest about their struggles. Drawing from her experience during her divorce and cult-like situation, Eileen shows how staying anchored in Christ enabled her children to maintain their faith despite devastating circumstances. This episode provides practical tools for Christian parents who want to parent like God parents - with patience, wisdom, and unconditional love that speaks to behaviors rather than attacking character. Eileen also discusses the role of the Holy Spirit as counselor in parenting decisions and shares real-life examples of age-appropriate conversations with her college-aged children about drinking and other challenging topics.

In this practical solo episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes breaks down four specific ways every mother and wife can positively influence their family daily through spirit, soul, body, and home environment. Starting with her 4:30 AM morning routine that sets a spiritual tone for her entire household, Eileen shares how worship music, prayer, and seeking God first creates an atmosphere that her children absorb even while sleeping. She addresses the challenge of avoiding the "crank-o-rama" attitude that comes when mothers skip their spiritual connection, explaining how the first words spoken each morning determine the family's entire day. Eileen gets vulnerable about breaking generational cycles of chaos and disorganization, sharing her journey from making cultural excuses to creating a peaceful home environment for her eight children. She discusses the importance of apologizing to your children when you lose your temper, the value of strength training for aging mothers, and practical tips for maintaining an organized home without perfectionism. Throughout the episode, Eileen emphasizes that mothers have the power to influence their families for good or bad, encouraging listeners to choose intentional actions that create environments of peace, health, and spiritual growth. This episode provides actionable steps for busy mothers who want to maximize their positive influence without adding overwhelming pressure to their daily routines.

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.

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.
