  • Changes Ahead: Why I'm Slowing Down the Podcast (And What's Coming Next)
    Jan 28 2026

    Big changes are coming to The Unsidelined Life podcast, and I wanted to bring you behind the scenes to share what's happening and why. After launching my coaching program in November and working with 10+ incredible women, I'm realizing something has to shift. God is calling me to focus on coaching, finish my Proverbs 31 Lady Bellator devotional, and steward this season well.

    In this episode, I share:

    • Why the podcast is slowing down (but not stopping)
    • The "clean house" assignment God gave me that became my entire coaching framework
    • How God transformed a physical decluttering project into spirit, soul, and body healing
    • The three-phase framework: Messes → Function/Order → Maintenance
    • What's ahead for the Proverbs 31 devotional and future projects
    • How my clients are experiencing transformation in different seasons of life
    • Why Proverbs 31:10 is where we finally land after all these episodes

    Here's what God showed me:

    When He told me to "clean house" last summer, I thought He meant decluttering my physical home. He was revealing the entire coaching framework He wanted me to use with women. Clean house in your spirit. Deal with the messes. Heal from the wounds. Create a function and order. Establish new systems. Maintain the standard. The same process that brought peace to my physical home is the same process bringing transformation to my clients in spirit, soul, and body.

    What's changing:

    Podcast episodes will slow down as I prioritize coaching and book writing

    Content will still come, just less frequently

    I'm committed to finishing the Proverbs 31 series

    Next episode dives into Proverbs 31:10 (finally!)

    What's staying the same:

    My heart is to help women live in the fullness of who God called them to be

    The mission is to raise Lady Bellators who know they have a voice

    Walking alongside women through transformation

    If you're a mom, wife, or woman who wants to step into the other things God is calling you to, I'd love to work with you. My 90-day coaching program addresses messes in spirit, soul, and body so you can show up differently for your family, your calling, and yourself.

    Proverbs 31:10 (my paraphrase):

    "A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman. Who can find her? She's far more precious than jewels. She is a woman of strength and mighty valor. She's full of wealth and wisdom."

    That's you. That's me. The first person who needs to find her is YOU.

  • The Proverbs 31 Woman Explained: What a Virtuous Woman Really Means (Season 2 Highlights)
    Jan 21 2026

    For years, I looked at the Proverbs 31 woman and felt like I could never measure up. She seemed perfect, tireless, and frankly... impossible. But at 52, God opened my eyes to what this biblical passage actually means-and it changed everything.

    In this Season 2 compilation episode, I'm sharing the most impactful moments from our journey through Proverbs 31, including:

    The true meaning of "virtuous woman" in the Old Testament (hint: it's not quiet or timid)

    How the Proverbs 31 woman is actually a warrior, not a doormat.

    Practical ways to pray for your sons, daughters, and spouse

    Biblical wisdom for navigating difficult parenting conversations

    How to discover where God is calling you to use your voice

    Finding freedom in the skillset you've been given.

    The word translated as "virtuous" in Proverbs 31 is the Hebrew word "Chayil"-which means strength, power, valor, and warrior. This woman isn't just nice and subdued. She's Lady Bellator: royalty with a scepter AND a sword.

    Whether you're a mom, wife, entrepreneur, or all of the above, this episode will help you see yourself the way God sees you-as a woman of strength who can live in the fullness of who He's called you to be, inside and outside of your home.

    In This Episode:

    Lady Bellator identity and the warrior woman concept

    Being a spiritual warrior and standing in the gap for your family

    Speaking life and praying Scripture over your children

    Setting an example for your daughter's future relationships

    Praying for your husband's eyes, heart, and purity

    Teaching kids biblical wisdom about gray areas

    Stewarding your time and energy as a leader

    Finding your calling where the enemy has tried to silence you

    Understanding that Proverbs 31 will look a little different in each woman's life

    If you've ever felt discouraged by Proverbs 31 or wondered how to balance being a devoted wife and mother while living out your God-given purpose in other areas, this episode is for you.

    Ready to step into your identity as a Proverbs 31 woman? I'm accepting new clients for my 90-day coaching program, Healed Mom, Restored Home. Schedule your FREE 40-minute strategy session at hello@ladybellator.com.

  • Woman of Virtue Means Warrior - Reclaim Your True Identity
    Dec 31 2025

    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.

    The episode closes out 2025 with three identity-shifting questions to carry into the new year. Listen to this episode and start 2026 knowing exactly who God created you to be on The Unsidelined Life podcast.
