According to Bexx and Noie, it’s something you were born with.In this episode of Unpacked & Unfiltered, they challenge the idea that confidence is earned, built, or faked.

They explore what it takes to remove that shame to a delusional degree. Through hilarious stories, unfiltered honesty, and practical insights, they share the five pillars they believe rebuild confidence from the inside out: keeping promises to yourself, creating emotional safety, separating identity from roles, trusting your body, and giving yourself permission to take up space. This episode is a reminder that the most confident version of you isn’t someone new, it’s the version of you that existed before you learned to doubt yourself. Chapters [Start] The Question: How Do I Become Confident?: A listener question sparks a deeper conversation about whether confidence is built or remembered.04:42 Delete Shame First: How shame, comparison, and the need to be chosen erode confidence and why removing them is step one.08:34 The Five Pillars of Real Confidence: Self-trust, emotional safety, identity beyond roles, body awareness, and self-permission.32:55 Returning to the Four-Year-Old You: Reclaiming play, desire, and self-expression by reconnecting with who you were before the world told you who to be.Links and ResourcesConnect With & Follow UsUnpacked and UnfilteredSunnybexxMommaNoieTikTokUnpacked and UnfilteredSunnybexxMommaNoieYoutubeUnpacked and Unfiltered SunnybexxMommaNoie
