Welcome to the very first episode of Unfiltered & Inspired.

In this intro episode, I’m sharing the story behind why this podcast exists and what inspired me to create it.

For years, I’ve written openly on my blog, Life of Lex. Writing has always been my outlet, but over time I realized that not everyone connects through reading, sometimes what we really need is to hear someone say the things we’re feeling out loud.

This podcast was created as an extension of that space.

Unfiltered & Inspired is a place for honest conversations about life, healing, purpose and so much more. Not just the heavy stuff but the fun too, lifestyle, faith, travel, creativity, nothing is off the table. It’s about showing up without pretending everything is figured out, and hopefully leaving each episode with a little perspective or inspiration.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The origin of Life of Lex and how writing helped me process life

• The moments that changed me and inspired me to share my story

• Why I wanted to make these conversations more accessible through a podcast

• What “unfiltered” and “inspired” really mean to me

• The vision I have for this podcast as it grows

Right now this space will mostly be solo reflections, but my hope is that it grows into a place where others can share their stories too — conversations that remind us we’re not alone in what we’re navigating.

If you’re here at the beginning of this journey, I’m really grateful you found this space.

Welcome to Unfiltered & Inspired! A podcast rooted in vulnerability, real life & anything inspirational.

This trailer introduces the heart behind the show, Lexi Collins, and gives you a look at the intention for what’s to come. Unfiltered & Inspired Podcast is an extension of my blog Life of Lex. Taking the words, stories, and reflections you’ve read on the blog and bringing them to life through voice, conversation, and connection.

This podcast is for deep feelers, creatives, and anyone navigating growth, healing, change, or the in-between seasons of life. Here, we talk about the real things — the messy moments, the quiet realizations, the inspiration that finds us even after hard chapters.

Some episodes will expand on blog posts you already know, diving deeper into the emotions and lessons behind the words. Others will be raw reflections, personal stories, and conversations meant to remind you that you’re not alone and that a meaningful, inspired life is still possible, even when things feel uncertain. Nothing is off the table!

Nothing here is polished or performative. This space is about showing up honestly, asking real questions, and finding beauty in becoming.

If you’ve ever felt seen or inspired by the words on the Life of Lex blog, this podcast is for you.

Welcome to Unfiltered & Inspired. Where you'll show up unfiltered & leave feeling Inspired.

XOXO

Lexi
