  • Becoming The Mom They'd Like to Follow for Your Sons & Daughters
    Oct 29 2025

    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.

  • Four Things You Should Never Say to Your Children
    Oct 22 2025

    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.

  • I Spoke Truth to My Baby's Subconscious - Here's What Happened
    Oct 15 2025

    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.
