Unpacked & Unfiltered | Travel, Modern Spirituality, and Real Girl Talk

In this vulnerable and fiercely honest episode, Bexx and Noie unpack what it truly means to start over—and why the fear of judgment often hits harder than the change itself. From divorce and loss to rediscovering identity and freedom, they talk about the courage it takes to rebuild your life on your own terms. The conversation weaves through grief, guilt, joy, and rediscovery, asking what happens when you stop trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and start listening to yourself instead.This episode dives into how women are natural shapeshifters, constantly evolving and reinventing, yet often held back by internalized criticism and cultural pressure to stay small. Bexx and Noie share personal moments of transformation—from learning to love being a beginner again, to finding peace instead of purpose, to reclaiming value beyond productivity or a paycheck. With warmth, laughter, and unfiltered honesty, they remind listeners that starting over isn’t failure—it’s freedom.Chapters[Start] None of Your Business: Bexx and Noie kick off the episode with a reminder that what others think of you is none of your business—and how liberating it is to live from that truth.02:30 Living Through Judgment: Noie opens up about her journey after losing her children and the guilt she felt while rebuilding a new version of herself—joyful, free, and unapologetic.06:31 Shadow and Light: The two discuss embracing your “shadow” self, your sadness, anger, and imperfection, and how sitting in darkness can help you rediscover your light.11:10 The Beginner’s Stage: Bexx and Noie explore the fear of starting from zero again, the power of being a beginner, and why trying new things (even pole dancing) keeps life exciting.26:05 Finding Peace, Not Purpose: The conversation closes on surrender and acceptance—how letting go of expectations, other people’s opinions, and constant striving leads to real peace.Links and ResourcesMel Robbins – The Let Them Theory

When life has handed you more than your fair share of grief, loss, and plot twists, it can feel impossible to believe you’ll ever feel light again. In this intro to Unpacked & Unfiltered, Bexx and Noie pull back the curtain on why they started this podcast and what they hope it becomes for the women who find it. They talk about being drawn to each other not because life was neat and tidy, but because they recognized that rare combination of depth, darkness, and a very real, very stubborn light that refuses to go out.Instead of pretending to have it all figured out, they invite you into a passion project that’s still in motion—where “figuring it out” looks like following what genuinely lights you up, even if that path is messy. This episode sets the tone for what’s coming: conversations about hard shit, happy shit, wild shit, and all the in–between moments where you’re trying not to lose yourself.Chapters[Start] The Why Behind the Podcast: Bexx and Noie introduce Unpacked & Unfiltered and share why this show has become a true passion project for both of them.01:10 Keeping Your Light Through the Hard Shit: They talk about going through heavy life experiences and still finding ways to laugh, feel joy, and move toward what genuinely lights you up.02:24 Unpacked, Unfiltered, and a Little Wild: They explain why they chose the name Unpacked & Unfiltered, and what it means to be authentic, wild, and honest about the darker chapters too.03:25 Darkness, Loss, and Credibility: Bexx and Noie open up about why their own experiences with loss, upheaval, and self-accountability give them the grounding to hold space for other people’s stories.
