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.

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.
