Ep 39 –Leading by Example: Mom and Ex-NFL Wife Eileen’s Escape from a Religious Cult to an Unsidelined Life

Life seemed picture-perfect for Eileen Noyes, a former NFL wife, as she raised her growing family and supported her partner’s athletic career. But when her now ex-husband began following a religious cult, Eileen knew she needed to act quickly to protect herself and their children. As a single mom to 7 kids and unknowingly pregnant with her 8th, Eileen began a long journey of healing, parenting, and re-parenting guided by her faith and sense of self-worth. Today an author, speaker, and mentor, Eileen is remarried with a blended family of 15 kids ages 7 through adult. Emily welcomes Eileen to the Mama Mode podcast to share her incredible story of strength, resilience, and love as she discusses her unique family dynamic and the example she hopes to pass on to her family and fellow moms.
