In this solo episode of The Unsidelined Life, host Eileen Noyes takes listeners behind the scenes of NFL life, sharing her top 10 things she never saw coming as an NFL wife. From losing her sense of identity to navigating instant public scrutiny, Eileen offers an unfiltered look at the challenges that come with the territory. She discusses the competition that emerges from unexpected places, including fans, other women, and even family dynamics. Eileen addresses the extreme highs and lows of NFL life, from draft day celebrations to financial pressures and exploitation from those with ulterior motives. This episode provides essential insights for current WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends), those entering the pro sports world, and those transitioning to life after football. As Eileen introduces her new "WAG for Life" community for Women After God, she promises in her follow-up episode will cover strategies for successfully navigating these challenges.
