  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, host Eileen Noyes sits down with Jessica Powell, wife of former New York Jets player Bilal Powell, as they peel back the curtain on life during and after the NFL. Jessica opens up about her nine-year journey as an NFL wife, from the initial struggles of being a young, pregnant rookie wife in an unfamiliar city to building lasting friendships in the league. She courageously shares her battle with self-image in the spotlight and the challenging transition when her husband's career ended unexpectedly. The conversation takes a turn as Jessica discusses the often-overlooked mental health challenges NFL players face after retirement and offers wisdom to young NFL wives about preparing for life after football. Now a boxing instructor and mental health advocate, Jessica’s story is a testament to finding purpose beyond the game and the importance of extending grace to both yourself and your spouse during major life transitions. This episode provides an authentic glimpse into the real lives of NFL families, far removed from the glamorized reality TV portrayals.
