In this episode of the Unfiltered-ish podcast, what starts as a playful debate about Spice Girls alter egos turns into an honest conversation about personal growth, fresh starts, and redefining success in midlife.

Natali, Carina, and Nicki talk about choosing a word of the year, setting intentions without pressure, and creating meaningful change that doesn’t feel loud or performative. They explore what it means to embrace growth, break old patterns, anchor into who you’re becoming, and design a life that actually feels aligned.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by New Year’s resolutions, struggled with personal reinvention, or wondered how to reset your mindset in a way that feels grounded and sustainable, this conversation will resonate.

Along the way, they share real-life reflections on journaling, goal setting, Valentine’s Day expectations, comfort routines, desserts, and the small rituals that shape a meaningful life.

This is a women’s podcast about growth, identity shifts, intentional living, and the quiet decisions that change everything.

If you’re navigating midlife transitions, redefining your goals, or simply craving a deeper conversation about the next chapter of your life, this episode is for you.

This episode starts with Chinese zodiac signs and somehow turns into a deep, wildly honest conversation about identity shifts, visibility, money, leadership, and what happens when your business outgrows people’s expectations of you. Natali, Carina, and Nicki unpack fire horse energy, reinvention years, public perception, and the uncomfortable truth that growth often brings criticism, misunderstandings, and tougher boundaries. There are laughs, cultural sidebars, spicy takes on making money, and very real reflections on what it costs to build something meaningful. It’s thoughtful, funny, and validating in all the best ways. You’ll laugh, nod aggressively, and feel less alone navigating your own next chapter.

Feeling unsure about what you actually want in a relationship after years of dating, marriage, or doing what you thought you were supposed to do? In this episode, the three of us get honest about dating in midlife, divorce and identity, and how your understanding of partnership changes after 40. We talk about choosing unavailable partners, lowering expectations, learning what makes a relationship feel safe, and why wanting to be chosen can quietly shape the wrong decisions. You’ll laugh, cringe, reflect, and feel less alone in your own relationship questions.
