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.

    “I Started Putting Up Boundaries in My Marriage” | The Truth About Divorce

    "You're not a b*tch because you have boundaries. You're a b*tch if you're not putting the people that matter first."

From controlling narratives to weaponized children, they dig in so you don't have to feel alone in it.

    The Real Reason Your Relationship is Failing (And It Isn’t What You Think)

    “If you can't love every aspect of somebody, the wounds, the trauma, all of it, do you truly love them?” Bexx and Noie get into why relationships fall apart, and it's not what most of us think. Drawing on research from relationship psychologist John Gottman, they unpack the idea that it's not conflict that kills a relationship, but the unmet emotional needs underneath it. They dive into Gottman’s Four Horsemen of relationships and discuss their own views and personal stories regarding each one. This springboards into topics about attachment styles, loving someone's potential rather than who they actually are, the difference between a good person and a good partner, and what it really means to have the capacity to hold someone else. Whether you're navigating a current relationship, healing from a past one, or just trying to understand your own patterns, this conversation is for you. Chapters [Start] Why Relationships Fail: Bexx and Noie introduce Gottman's research on the real driver behind relationship breakdowns. 04:56 The Four Horsemen: A breakdown of Gottman's four predictors of divorce and how to spot them. 16:31 Misconceptions About Love: Assumptions we make about chemistry, partnership, and potential in relationships. 20:20 Capacity and Attachment Styles: How attachment styles shape every relationship differently, sometimes in different ways with different people. 30:03 Knowing When to Go: Bexx and Noie share personal stories about trusting their gut and the moment they knew a relationship had run its course.

    “If it's an identity that serves you, keep it. If it's a belief system that has been lying to you, replace it with whatever you want.” Bexx and Noie kick off this episode with a simple Facebook post asking for psychic medium recommendations that unleashed a flood of unsolicited opinions, judgment, and unintentional comedy from their St. George community.
