At the start of a new year, it’s easy to fall into cycles of resolutions, guilt, and the feeling that you somehow fell short of who you meant to become. In this episode, Bexx and Noie slow that pattern down and offer a different perspective, that the version of you that feels whole, grounded, and honest already exists. 

Through thoughtful conversation, personal stories, and spiritual reflection, the two explore self-honesty as the foundation of growth, how conditioning and generational patterns shape identity, and why curiosity is the key to real change. They also talk about relationships, intuition, courage, and the quiet clarity that comes from trusting endings just as deeply as beginnings. 

Chapters
[Start] The Myth of the Clean Slate: Why resolutions often create guilt instead of growth, and how reframing identity changes everything.
06:30 Self-Honesty as the Gateway to Change: Exploring why honesty with yourself is a prerequisite for healing and self-realization.
12:00 Conditioning, Ancestral Patterns, and Letting Go: How family systems, culture, and generational trauma shape who we believe we’re allowed to be.
22:00 Choosing Authenticity Over Performance: Recognizing when you’re living for approval versus honoring what actually lights up your soul.
33:30 Endings, Intuition, and Trusting the Process: Why endings are not failures, and how trusting them creates space for deeper peace and alignment.

In this episode of Unpacked & Unfiltered, Bexx and Noie invite their fiercely smart and daring friend Chantel Horn to the mic. Listeners get to meet the woman who rarely raises her voice but constantly raises the bar, teaching herself whatever she needs to know, figuring things out when life doesn’t hand her a roadmap, and saying yes to experiences most people would never even consider. Through laughter, honesty, and beautifully vulnerable storytelling, Chan opens up about the mindset that shapes her decisions, the courage it takes to step into the unknown, and why curiosity has carried her through motherhood, financial stress, risk, and reinvention.

As the conversation deepens, Chantel shares how fear and bravery can exist in the same breath, why doing it “scared” still counts, and how every leap builds emotional muscle you didn’t know you had. From taking jobs she didn’t yet know how to do, to navigating the strip club stage without preparation, to building a luxury swimwear brand from sheer determination and creativity, her story reminds women what becomes possible when you stop waiting for confidence and choose to move anyway. This is a conversation about capability, resilience, permission, and becoming the woman who trusts herself enough to try.

Bexx and Noie explore how rock bottom looks different for everyone, yet almost always forces a reckoning. They talk honestly about what happens when life strips away the identities, relationships, and stories you thought defined you, along with the emotional and spiritual lows, the loneliness that often accompanies deep collapse, and the moment when survival mode gives way to clarity and self-awareness.

Rather than framing rebirth as a glow-up or instant transformation, this conversation centers on the slow, uncomfortable rebuilding that happens when you stop performing and start listening to yourself. Bexx and Noie unpack shame, grief, and self-abandonment, while also naming the clarity, boundaries, and inner trust that can only come from losing everything that wasn’t aligned. This episode is for anyone standing in the aftermath, wondering if something meaningful can still grow from what has fallen apart.

Chapters
[Start] When Everything Falls Apart: Defining rock bottom and why it often arrives disguised as failure.
09:20 The Cost of Staying Misaligned: How over-functioning while ignoring intuition can slowly erode the self.
18:45 Sitting in the Breakdown: Why rushing the healing process can delay real transformation.
27:30 Choosing Yourself for the First Time: Boundaries, self-trust, and the courage required to live differently.
36:10 What Rebirth Actually Looks Like: Rebuilding identity, peace, and purpose without external validation.

As the year comes to a close, Bexx and Noie slow down and get radically honest about what this past year asked of them, and what it changed. In this reflective episode, they explore the emotional weight of endings, the clarity that only hindsight brings, and the quiet realizations that surface when you finally stop pushing forward and allow yourself to look back.

Rather than focusing on resolutions or reinvention for appearance’s sake, this conversation centers on integration: what they’re proud of surviving, what they’re no longer willing to carry, and how grief, growth, and self-trust can coexist. Bexx and Noie talk candidly about burnout, boundaries, spiritual shifts, and the permission it takes to enter a new year without a checklist, but instead with a deeper relationship with yourself. This episode is an invitation to close the chapter gently and step forward with intention, not pressure.

Chapters
[Start] Closing the Year Honestly: Why reflection matters more than resolution as the year comes to an end.
07:10 What This Year Took (and Gave Back): Naming the emotional costs, lessons, and unexpected growth.

The holidays are supposed to be magical, but for many women, they’re also exhausting, triggering, and overwhelming.
