Bexx and Noie take a look at why New Year’s goals so often fall apart—and why it’s rarely a motivation or discipline issue. Instead, they reframe goal resistance as a form of self-protection. Together, the two explore how the body and nervous system respond to goals that feel unsafe or misaligned. And to help you set new goals, they redefine goal-setting in a way that replaces pressure with self-trust.Bexx walks through a seven-step psychological framework designed to help listeners understand what their body may be trying to protect them from and how to make change feel safer. Bexx and Noie share that lasting change comes from listening inward and anchoring new identities, making sure you are rooted in care rather than punishment. This provides reassurance to anyone who feels stuck, offering a grounded path forward that honors your ambition and well-being.Chapters[Start] Why Goals Trigger Resistance: Bexx and Noie introduce the idea that “failed” goals are often signs of self-protection, not personal failure.07:52 The Seven Psychological Steps to Sustainable Goals: How to name goals and read body responses.11:48 Money, Identity, and Emotional Triggers: How past experiences can shape our reactions to goals.28:23 The Fear of Change: What to do when goals threaten familiar identities and create fear.39:16 Creating a New Identity: How to set goals that are rooted in self-love rather than punishment.Links and ResourcesConnect With & Follow UsInstagram:Unpacked and UnfilteredSunnybexxMommaNoieTikTokUnpacked and UnfilteredSunnybexxMommaNoieYoutubeUnpacked and Unfiltered SunnybexxMommaNoie
