In this episode, Jeannie Pederson, wife of former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl-winning head coach Doug Pederson, takes us through her unexpected 30-year journey in professional football. From being a backup quarterback's wife in Green Bay to guiding coaches' wives through tough seasons in Jacksonville, Jeannie shares how she found purpose in an often-brutal NFL world. She talks about moving her family countless times, standing by her husband through both Super Bowl glory and gutting dismissals, and how faith became their rock every season. Host Eileen Noyes and Jeannie look back on their days in Green Bay's NFL wives' Bible study group, exploring how their views on marriage, motherhood, and being real have shifted over twenty years. This conversation strips away the glossy image of NFL wives, showing instead the grit it takes to build true friendships in a world of constant change and public pressure. Jeannie's hard-won wisdom on handling both victory and loss offers hope for anyone weathering life's transitions while trying to keep their faith and family strong.
