What happens when a college dancer and a future All-Pro tackle get thrown into fast-forward by a global shutdown, a draft day curveball, and a cross-country move? You get a candid story about love, Detroit, and the real work of raising three kids under three while chasing excellence in the NFL. We sit with Isabelle Sewell for a grounded, funny, and refreshingly honest look at how she built a life far from home, found her voice as a young mom, and learned to thrive inside a demanding football calendar.
We unpack the Oregon origins, the whirlwind of moving in during COVID, and the emotional rollercoaster of draft night that led to the Lions. Isabelle brings us into the fabric of Detroit’s locker room culture and the often-misunderstood life of NFL families: weekdays that feel normal, Sundays that feel cinematic, and an iPad never far from a player’s hands. She weighs in on the push to extend the NFL season and why recovery time and family stability matter more than fans might realize.
The heart of the conversation is motherhood—how social media gloss can hide the grind, and why naming hard days as “human” is a powerful reframe. Isabelle offers pragmatic advice for young moms starting over: build a village through preschool, local classes, and small gatherings that break isolation. We talk kids and sports, injury prevention through body awareness, and the difference smart training can make. And we don’t shy away from postpartum realities: she shares how consistent workouts, better nutrition, and a few confidence-boosting choices helped restore energy and joy.
If you love the Lions, care about athlete wellness, or need a sincere companion in the chaos of parenting, this one hits home. Listen, share with a friend who needs the encouragement, and leave a review to help more women find this conversation.
