U_n_U | 1:1 Peer Support with Noni
Individual coachingA place to put down the “I’m fine" mask. Real conversation about recovery, mental health, and getting older—with someone who listens.
Sometimes you need someone you can be honest with. Someone who won’t rush to give advice or expect you to turn a hard day into a success story. I’m Noni, founder of Unfiltered & Understood (U_n_U), a Texas Certified Mental Health Peer Specialist and Recovery Support Peer Specialist. I bring lived experience, peer-support training, and room for you to be yourself. Our one-on-one conversations start with what’s happening in your life. You don’t need a clear goal or the right words. We can talk about what’s weighing on you, what’s changing, or what you’re still trying to figure out. Areas of peer support include: • Addiction and recovery: substance use, compulsive behaviors, and activity-based or behavioral addictions. There’s room to talk about urges, setbacks, shame, and building a life that feels like yours. • Mental health: living with depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), anxiety, and stress. Especially when mental health and recovery get tangled together. • Gen X and getting older: starting over, looking for work at an older age, marrying later in life, changing relationships, or feeling out of step with the world around you. • Chronic pain and illness: the frustration, isolation, changing limits, and things other people don’t always see. • Connection and identity: figuring out what matters to you now. Music is a big part of my life, and there’s room here for the interests and experiences that help you feel like yourself. I’m Gen X. I married at 53 and have been rebuilding my working life in my 50s. I know some of what it’s like to start again when people assume you should already have everything figured out. I won’t assume your experience is the same as mine. U_n_U’s approach is simple: “We witness, we don’t fix.” I listen, ask questions, and follow your lead. If you ask for ideas or resources, we can explore them together. You decide what fits. You can share as much or as little as you want. You don’t have to make things sound better for my sake. This is nonclinical peer support, not therapy, diagnosis, medical advice, or crisis care. It can sit alongside your other support. Come as you are. We can start there.
