Unpacked & Unfiltered | Travel, Modern Spirituality, and Real Girl Talk
Self-Improvement
About
Welcome to Unpacked & Unfiltered, where best friends Bexx and Noie talk about the messy middle of being a woman who’s still figuring it out—on purpose. They’re the kind of friends who will hype you up in Tulum, pull cards in the kitchen, and admit when life feels like too much. From divorce, grief, and loss to travel, sex, motherhood, money, and starting over at 30, 40, or 60, they explore what it really looks like to reinvent yourself without apologizing for it. Join them for explicit, unfiltered girl talk about change, shame, “being too much,” value beyond a paycheck, modern spirituality, and the shift from chasing your “purpose” to actually finding peace. This is a podcast for everything that comes after you stop living for everyone else and start actually living an unapologetic life that’s yours.
