The Twenties Detox

This week, I wanted to get a little more real with you. It might leave me with a bit of a vulnerability hangover, but I'm tired of seeing so many people share the highlights of their lives without talking about the realities of an ordinary Monday. So, this week, I'm here to de-influence you.

I'm sharing some of the things I'm still struggling with, along with a look at a lifestyle that might not fit the traditional influencer or content creator mould.

My hope is that this video helps us connect a little more deeply and reminds you that you're not alone in figuring things out. You don't have to have a perfectly curated life to be doing just fine. 🩵

Autumn is almost always at the top of the list when I ask people where I live what their favourite season is. And honestly, I understand why. Ontario in the fall is breathtaking.

But ironically, it’s also the season when I hear the most friends, strangers, and loved ones talk about melancholy, lower energy, and that familiar urge to escape the earlier darkness.

We try to romanticize it by buying new clothes, makeup, candles, and things for our homes. Yet sometimes, beneath all of it, there’s still a hollowness. One reason may be that we’re trying to perform autumn instead of actually assimilating to the season.

In this episode, we’re exploring affordable, meaningful ways to meet the seasonal shift where it is. We’ll talk about romanticizing darker evenings and rewiring them with coziness, releasing 2026 baggage through cord-cutting meditations, and easing back into playful inner-child energy without breaking the bank.

Consider this your invitation to make the darker months feel softer, warmer, and more intentional, not through more stuff, but through rituals that help you feel at home in this season.

Grief is one of those things that changes shape all the time.

In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons I’ve learned while navigating loss, from grieving my Poppa and my great-aunt Reena to losing a friend unexpectedly when I was 20.

I used to feel ashamed of how deeply I could grieve someone I had not known for years. I fall in love fast, I care deeply, and I used to wonder if I was allowed to feel that much sadness. But grief is not measured by a timeline. It is measured by the love that existed there.

We are talking about why you do not need to justify your grief, what it means when people say grief is love with nowhere to go, and how their love can still live on through the life I’m building.

This is a gentle episode for anyone missing someone, carrying an old loss into a new season, or learning that healing does not mean forgetting. It means finding a way to let love continue.

Autumn isn’t asking us to stop, it’s asking us to listen. Turn inward, and reflect.

In this episode, I’m sharing two of the biggest lessons autumn can teach us about living with more intention, softness, and sustainable growth.

First, we’ll explore the balance between doing and being. Just like some trees have already turned vibrant and are ready to let go, while others still have a little more growing to do, not every goal in our lives needs to be at the same stage. We’ll talk about celebrating what has reached maturity, releasing what is complete, and continuing to tend to the things that still feel aligned...without falling into the cycle of hustle, burnout, and starting over.

Then, we’ll talk about making peace with your shadows. As the days become darker, autumn naturally invites us inward. Instead of being ashamed of the parts of ourselves we hide, resist, or wish away, we can begin to see them as protective parts that once helped keep us safe.

This is your reminder that slowing down does not mean falling behind. It can be the very thing that helps you return to yourself, build a stronger foundation, and enter your next season with more clarity and resilience. 🩵

As the days get shorter and the shadows outside become a little more visible, autumn invites us to look inward, too.

There’s something about this season that naturally brings our own shadows to the surface: the parts of ourselves we might avoid, the mistakes we still carry, and the feeling that we should be further along than we are.

In this episode, we’re talking about the feeling of not being enough, learning to forgive ourselves for the things we wish we had done differently, and accepting ourselves for where we are right now, even when it isn’t where we ultimately want to be.

Because when we’re constantly living in the past or reaching toward the future, we miss the only place where we can actually create change: the present moment.

Think of this as your autumn reminder to slow down, meet yourself where you are, and make a little more peace with the person you’re becoming. 🩵

Q4 is right around the corner. And in the corporate and business world, this tends to be one of the busiest times of the year.

End-of-year budgets, holiday sales and marketing campaigns, hitting annual targets, wrapping up projects, planning for the new year... there’s a lot happening.

But here’s the thing: we have a say in how we live, too.

That busy, “finish everything before the year ends” energy isn’t necessarily nature’s energy. It’s business energy. And if we’re not careful, we can start carrying that energy into our own lives, even when the season around us is asking us to do something completely different.

When we resist the slower energy of autumn, it can start to show up in ways like:

As we lean into this new season, I’ll be guiding us through what autumn can actually teach us, what it means to embrace slower months, and how to honour that slower energy without sacrificing our success or ambitions.

But for now, let’s just take a moment.

Look at your vision board. What has come true? What still needs nurturing? What can you let go of?

And, perhaps most importantly, what should you avoid?(Hint: trying to force yourself into “lock in” mode when the season is asking you to slow down.)

And then there’s the bonus topic that somehow creeps up every year and has a way of pulling us out of enjoying the season altogether: preparing mentally and financially for the holidays.

Because yes, autumn is about slowing down. But that doesn’t mean we have to be caught off guard when December rolls around.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

Much love,

Bianca

I've always been a very nostalgic person. I love decorating for the fall. Planning the traditions that I would do while the leaves start turning into beautiful golden colours. Making fall candles candy apples are an annual Thanksgiving pumpkin toss (whoever’s rolls the furthest, wins!). 

I'd also love to watch movies that would get me in the mood for the season all the 90s and early 2000s Disney Halloween movies, and I even have a fall playlist that I put on the second. It turns October 1st. 

It seems I'm not the only one that's constantly craving to feel like a kid again and each of those seasons. It can feel discouraging when no matter what it never reaches what it was like as a kid. But that doesn't mean we can't do things now to maximize every season that comes in a way that feels like you did as a kid and also with the flow of time meaning having the courage to try new things as well. 

p.s. I was feeling a little under the weather while recording this one so it's why it's a bit slower and softer. I hope you enjoy it. <3

Friendships in your twenties can feel complicated.

People grow, paths change, and it can be hard to know which connections to nurture, redefine, or release.

In this episode, I share the friendship analogy that helped me stop expecting every friendship to hold the same depth: the onion layers.

We talk about the value of curiosity, giving people room to change, investing in your core community, and becoming your own best friend along the way.

Your friendships do not all need to look the same to be meaningful. 🩵

p.s. thanks for being patient with this episode! I couldn’t get it up yesterday because of some technical issues.

Health is one of the most profitable industries in the world, and that comes with a cost.

Most people are aware of the villainization of western medicine and its ties to Big Pharma. But smart entrepreneurs noticed that shift before the rest of us did, and eastern medicine is now facing the same disproportionate focus on profit over people.

At the end of the day, no guru, doctor, or wellness specialist knows you better than you know yourself. Now more than ever, we need to become better advocates for our own autonomy when it comes to our health.

Disclaimer: this isn't anti-doctor or anti-wellness. It's a reminder that no single product, protocol, or person has the entire answer, because your body, your mind, and your life are too unique for a one-size-fits-all fix.

Maybe you don't hate your job. Your day is just missing your values.

For the longest time I thought I couldn't get excited about my

days because I didn't enjoy my work enough. What I actually

realized was I wasn't building anything into my week that was

connected to my top values. 

So in this episode, I'm sharing the top 5 things I

do after a work day that don't involve my phone (or a TV). 

Fair warning… please don't copy my routines! The point of a

routine is regulation, familiarity, and listening to your body.

What's perfect for me might look completely different for you.

Use this as a starting point to figure out what YOU actually

value.

We're halfway through summer. This is your gentle reminder to

maximize the season you're in.

ANSWER TO QUIZ: C

Because your after-work routine should work for you, not against you. You are way more unique than any routine on the internet. The best routine aligns with what you value, supports your current lifestyle (and what it might be missing), and helps your nervous system relax so you can feel more abundant afterwards.

You are not one person. You are your parents' version, your best friend's version, your coworker's version, and none of them fully capture who you are. So why are you spending your entire twenties trying to control something that was never actually controllable?

In this episode, I am getting into why we take things so personally, from evolutionary wiring to childhood conditioning to the stories different cultures teach us about our own worth. We are talking about the difference between defending your identity and defending your ego, the blue hair theory, and the LET THEM mindset that changed how I move through the world. This is the detox of finally letting people misunderstand you.

This one is for you if you replay conversations for days, if you have ever assumed someone disliked you over one look, or if you are ready to stop managing everyone else's perception of you.

For my 100th episode I think it's time that I share the ultimate detox message for our generation. 

Although it might be painful to admit… maybe our parents were right? Maybe it is our phones. Specifically, social media. 

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know my complicated relationship with social media. I’ve always felt like a bit of a hypocrite: promoting the podcast and making a living as a social media manager on the very apps that drains me. While there are amazing creators out there, these apps were ultimately built using psychological manipulation. They are no longer just tools for connection; they are engines built to influence and sell to us.

In this episode I share my honest thoughts about social media, the psychology of how it’s perpetuating common pain points of feeling “lost” or “behind” in our twenties. I also share some strategies to find a balance with this app (if you’re not convinced to write it off, lol)

Lastly, I encourage you to lean into what your gut is telling you while listening to this video. Only *you* will know what your form of balance is.

Okay, let's get into it.

The Social Dilemma (2020)

For the last five years, I’ve meditated almost every single day.

Although highly requested... I was so intimidated to make this video. It is incredibly hard to put five years of deep, soul-shifting lessons into words without sounding cliché. But so many of you have been asking about my practice, so I wanted to finally sit down and try to extract my biggest lessons.

Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let’s chat. This is a longer one!! I’m sharing how this daily practice completely saved my mental health, my biggest struggles, and the 10 lessons that changed how I view the world. Whether you’re a total beginner looking for simple mindfulness tips, or you’ve been on a self-improvement journey for years, I hope this helps you let go of the pressure, stop watching the clock, and just reconnect with who you really are.

I hope you enjoy!!

There was a specific summer where I stopped fighting the season and started actually listening to it. And honestly, everything shifted after that. 🌞

In this episode, I am getting into what it really means to live seasonally, and specifically what summer is asking of you right now. We are talking about Q2 reflections, why summer is actually one of the best times to pivot instead of push harder, how social media can quietly pull you away from your own values if you are not paying attention, and the gardening analogy that completely changed how I think about goals.

This episode is part of the Seasonal Living Series, and it might be the most grounding one yet!! This one is for you if you have been feeling a shift in your energy lately and you are not quite sure what to do with it.

For the people who get angry easily. See red. Little things might trigger them. You might even feel ashamed afterwards. You’re not alone, this won’t be forever, but there is a REASON behind it.

I couldn’t fit a video episode in this week, but didn’t want to leave you hanging!! I have been podcasting for about 3 years now, and although I’ve improved…there’s a few golden episodes in there that didn’t get their spotlight. This episode is one of them. I hope you enjoy!

Back to video episodes next week. <3

Morning routines are still one of the most talked about topics on the internet. And somehow, so many of us are still waking up feeling behind before the day has even started.

In this episode, I am sharing everything I wish someone had told myself earlier about building a routine that's *actually* tailored to yourself.

We are getting into why copying what you see on social media is quietly working against you, how your routines can start regulating your nervous system instead of adding to your stress, the two morning rituals I keep returning to no matter what season I am in, and why flexibility might actually be what makes a routine hold long term. We are also going into evening rituals, seasonal workouts, and the one values-based question that ties all of it together.

This one is for you if you have tried to build a routine a hundred times and it never sticks. If you scroll through "that girl" content and feel more behind than inspired. If you are ready to stop performing your mornings and actually feel them.

Unlearning is the work nobody warns you about. You can read every self-help book, do all the right things, and still feel stuck, because sometimes the problem is not what you have not yet learned. It is what you need to let go of first.

In this episode, I am walking you through the art of unlearning, what it actually means, why it is one of the most powerful things you can do for your personal growth, and the real practical steps I have used to start rewiring the limiting beliefs that were quietly running my life. We are getting into the role of neuroplasticity, how tools like meditation, affirmations, and journaling can genuinely shift your inner world, and the personal stories that made me realize I had to unlearn before I could truly grow. This is the episode I needed years ago.

This one is for you if you have done the inner work and still feel like something is holding you back, if you know something needs to change but cannot quite name what it is, or if you are ready to stop letting old beliefs make decisions for you.

Being soft and being ambitious are not opposites. But most of us in our twenties were never shown how to hold both at the same time, and this episode is the conversation I wish someone had started for me sooner.

In this episode, I am breaking down 5 real ways to stop treating hustle and rest like they are at war with each other. We are going into why living through the extremes might actually be part of your process, how your sleep and circadian rhythm are quietly deciding how much energy you even have to give, why the seasons can do some of the heavy lifting for you if you let them, and why bringing play back into your life might honestly be the most ambitious thing you do all year. This is not a formula. This is the version of balance that actually fits your life.

This one is for you if you are in your twenties, refuse to give up on your ambitions, and are completely done arriving at the finish line running on empty.

June energy is real, and if you've been feeling more restless, more driven, or suddenly clearer on what you actually want, you're not imagining it.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why June is one of the most clarifying and creatively charged times of year, why spring's momentum can quietly tip into over-functioning and productivity guilt, and how to align with nature's rhythm so that you grow without burning yourself out. June gives you clarity for the year, and in this episode, we're going to use it.

This one is for you if you're someone in your twenties who feels the shift in seasons but isn't always sure how to work with it instead of against it. We're talking desire, clarity, pace, and what it actually means to move with the energy around you, not ahead of it.

Unlearning in your 20s might be the most important work you've never been given credit for. If you've been grinding on empty, chasing a version of success someone else designed, or quietly wondering why nothing feels like enough, this episode is going to breathe something back into you.

In this episode, I'm walking you through 5 powerful unlearning lessons I wish I'd had earlier in my twenties.

I'm talking about why rest is your birthright and not something you have to earn, how to stop treating failure like a sign you're doing it wrong, and what it actually means to stay curious when the world keeps pressuring you toward certainty.

This conversation sits right at the intersection of self-growth in your 20s, hustle culture recovery, and learning to live a more authentic, fulfilled life without the guilt.

This one is for the woman who's starting to question everything she was handed and is ready to build something that actually feels like hers.

Is overnight success actually real? Zara Larsson's journey from a viral talent show moment to her Midnight Sun rebrand says otherwise, and every creative needs to hear this.

In this episode, we're breaking down the real story behind Zara Larsson's artistic evolution: the creative blocks, the pressure of public expectation, the importance of creative control, and what it actually takes to sustain your energy as a creator without burning out.

Whether you're a musician, content creator, entrepreneur, or artist... this one is for you. 🌺

We talk about why overnight success is a myth, how social media quietly erodes your creativity, and why the "plateau phase" isn't failure (it's part of the process.)✨

If you've ever felt creatively stuck, doubted your progress, or wondered why your art isn't landing the way you hoped, this episode will help you reconnect with why you started.

Hi everyone!! This week we got a bit more... controversial.

This week I’m talking about 5 things I would never buy in my twenties to support healthier cashflow, and attract more abundance.  

Spending/receiving money is very spiritual to me. As a result, I try to spend it carefully, and use it to support my morals and values.

A lot of these *things* I would never buy, either give off low spiritual energy to me, or are over-priced for luxury > actual value. 

disclaimer: this is not to replace financial advice. I recommend listening to this video from start to finish and write down was resonates (what feels like truth to you) what doesn’t, and who to talk to later about it.

Okay…let’s dive in!

There's a particular kind of pressure that follows you into your 20s, quiet, heavy, and relentless. It whispers that you should already know what you're here for. That everyone else has figured it out. That time is running out.

Most of us spend what should be the most electric years of our lives paralyzed by one question: What is my purpose?

Not curious. Not excited. Paralyzed.

I've spent years dedicated to understanding the systems, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck, exploring spiritual practices, sitting with teachers like Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth and Michael Singer in The Untethered Soul, and what I've come to understand about purpose has quietly changed everything for me.

By the end of this episode, my hope is that you'll set down the weight you didn't even know you'd been carrying, and finally, genuinely, breathe again.

This one is for everyone searching. But especially for you, if you're in your 20s and terrified you're already running out of time.

You've planned the calendar. Colour-coded the to-do list. Set up the system. And somehow still haven't done the thing.

There's a version of procrastination that looks exactly like hard work from the outside, and it might be the sneakiest thing keeping you stuck.

In this episode, we're talking about why spring is the season to finally call yourself out on it, let go of the perfect plan, and start before you feel ready.

Do it messy. Do it anyway.

If you clicked on this, you already know why. 🩵

Five years ago, I graduated with a degree in Forensic Science and knew almost immediately that it wasn't the path for me.

So I moved back home, and spent the next 2-3 years rediscovering myself. My passions. What actually made me feel alive. It was messy. It was uncomfortable. And nobody really talks about that part too much.

The Twenties Detox started as a simple blog post during that season, and slowly became something so much more.

This video is my attempt to make you feel a little less alone. To be the big sister who sits across from you and says: you are not behind. You are not failing. Everything IS and WILL be okay.

Sending you so much love.xoxo,

In this episode, we’re diving into the unique energy of the month. Even though it’s still chilly outside, we can all feel it: Spring is right around the corner.

As I’ve mentioned over the last two months, winter naturally invites deep introspection...but if you’ve been avoiding that inner work, March is when it finally catches up to you (and it might hit a little hard).

In this episode, Bianca dives into one of her most personal barriers — the feeling that you have to fix yourself before you can be loved. Somewhere along the way, modern relationship advice started to sound like self-improvement homework: regulate this, communicate that, heal before you date.

But love was never meant to be so clinical.

Bianca unpacks the problem with the one-size-fits-all version of “healthy” communication we see online — a version often rooted in Western, individualistic ideals that don’t account for cultural differences. Because in many cultures, love is loud. It’s passionate. It’s messy — and that doesn’t make it toxic.This conversation is for anyone who’s ever questioned if they’re “too much,” “too emotional,” or “too damaged” to be loved. You’re not. You’re human. And your love language might just sound different.

When I went on retreat in Italy, I cried more than I thought I “should.” At first, I worried I was too much, too emotional. But surrounded by other women, we reminded each other of a truth we so often forget: crying is not weakness — it’s powerful, healing, and absolutely necessary.

In this episode of The Twenties Detox, I explore the spirituality of crying. From the way society conditions us to harden and hide our tears, to the way vulnerability can actually awaken something deeper within us. I share how tears can act as a spiritual release, unlocking stuck energy in our chakras and even sparking a kundalini awakening.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for being “too sensitive,” or questioned whether your emotions were valid, this conversation is your reminder: your tears carry wisdom.

✨ Listen in to reconnect with the medicine of your own emotions, and the spiritual power hidden in every tear.

Today's guest, Azia Mery, is on a mission to change how women relate to their bodies and their sexuality. As the founder of Dilato, a groundbreaking program that helps women overcome painful sex, Azia is tackling one of the most silenced issues affecting millions of women worldwide. But she's not just a program creator, she's someone who's walked this path herself, healing her own journey with vulvodynia and vaginismus while building a life and business that refuses to be put in a box.

This conversation is for every woman who's ever felt broken, ashamed, or like something was wrong with her body. It's for those who've been told painful sex is "normal" or that they just need to "relax, and drink a glass of wine." And it's especially for women ready to stop performing pleasure and start actually experiencing it.

Through Dilato, Azia is proving that healing painful sex isn't just possible, it's a pathway to reclaiming your entire relationship with your body, your sexuality, and your power as a woman.

What we dive into:

〰️ Azia's diagnosis story with vulvodynia and vaginismus.

〰️ How trauma lives in the body and shows up in our sexual experiences.

〰️ The cultural, religious, and societal roots of sexual shame that keep women silent.

〰️ Why so many women fake pleasure and the pressure around orgasms.

〰️ Expanding beyond penetration and exploring all the different types of intimacy and pleasure.

〰️ Azia's brand Dilato and her mission to help women heal painful sex

In the second episode of She Breaks Barriers , Season 4 of The Twenties Detox Podcast, Bianca dives into the messy, complicated relationship we have with our looks and the fear of aging. Why have we been taught to tie our worth to youth? How did society condition us to see aging as something to fight instead of something to embrace?

Through personal stories, honest reflections, and timeless wisdom from Japanese, Indigenous, Greek, and African proverbs, Bianca explores what it means to rewrite the narrative around beauty and age. If you’ve ever stared at a wrinkle in the mirror, wondered if Botox is inevitable, or felt like your “timeline” is closing in on you — this conversation is your reminder that aging is not a loss, it’s a privilege.

What if your relationship with food isn't really about food at all?In this raw and transformative conversation, I sit down with Jiordana Saade—clinical nutritionist, hypnotherapist, and founder of The Mind-Full Clinic—to unpack the deep psychological roots of our eating patterns and why traditional approaches to weight loss keep failing us.Jiordana's story will hit you right in the feels: struggling with obesity as a child, she discovered early on that being thin made her feel more loveable. That dangerous association fueled years of addictive behaviors and substance abuse, until becoming a mother forced her to confront the real reasons behind her relationship with food. Now, she's helped over 1,000+ women break free from the same cycles.In this episode, we dive deep into:- Why obesity isn't actually genetic (and what's really behind weight struggles)- The uncomfortable truth about Ozempic and quick fixes- How childhood experiences with love and acceptance shape our adult eating habits- Why women self-sabotage their health (even when they desperately want to change)- How hypnotherapy is revolutionizing food relationships- The mother wound connection to addictive eating patternsJiordana brings incredible credentials to this conversation—she's a CNP, hypnotherapist, TEDx speaker, and even made Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women list. But what makes this episode special is her willingness to get vulnerable about her own journey from self-destruction to healing.If you've ever wondered why willpower isn't enough, or why you keep repeating the same patterns with food despite knowing better, this conversation will give you the answers you've been looking for.

As the seasons shift from winter’s stillness to spring’s vibrant bloom, Bianca reflects on what it means to defrost emotionally, mentally, and physically. In this episode of The Twenties Detox, she explores how to use the energy of spring for renewal, intention-setting, and creating real momentum. From sustainable habits to the importance of play and rest, Bianca shares personal insights on how to embrace change without pressure—and how a good spring clean (yes, mentally too) can reset your whole vibe.

You’ll walk away inspired to take bold action, build supportive environments, and pursue progress over perfection.

✨ Takeaways:

Spring is a time for renewal, momentum, and bold action.

Spring cleaning is both physical and mental.

You don’t need to be perfect to bloom—you just need to begin.

Creative energy is limited—honour your rest.

Play and mental health matter just as much as productivity.

Sustainable habits thrive in supportive spaces.

In this powerful and intimate episode, I sit down with my Auntie Carey to explore her transformative journey through meditation and healing. Carey shares how she discovered meditation during her divorce and how this practice, combined with therapy, helped her navigate grief, loss, and reclaim her power after an abusive marriage.

From primal screaming to finding "golden moments" throughout the day, Carey offers practical wisdom on releasing emotions and staying committed to yourself during difficult times. She discusses the dangers of social media during healing, explains why reprogramming takes time, and shares her current experience caring for a husband with dementia.

This conversation is filled with beautiful insights about focusing on light even in darkness, embracing change rather than resisting it, and practical techniques for letting thoughts go during meditation. Carey's journey reminds us that healing is possible, and that even through life's greatest challenges, we can find peace, purpose, and even joy.

Pour yourself a glass, because today, I’m joined by my best friend Ellen for a very real (and slightly tipsy) conversation about life’s biggest questions. We’re talking about the pressure of being the eldest sibling, the debate of having kids young vs. later, and whether homeownership is even in the cards for us (because, seriously, how are people affording houses?!).

We also unpack our attachment to childhood homes, the struggle of making (and keeping) friends as adults, and the unexpected ways we’re reconnecting with Eastern roots & medicine. Plus, we get deep about faith, the growing lack of empathy in the world, and why taking care of yourself is actually cool now.

Oh, and of course, we reflect on the fact that some of us were having existential crises at five years old. Because… why not?

Do you struggle with waking up early? Working out? Cooking more meals at home? You’re not alone. The secret to sticking with these habits isn’t just motivation—it’s self-efficacy.

Self-efficacy is your belief in your ability to accomplish a task, and as a health coach in training, I’ve learned just how powerful it is in achieving a healthier, more disciplined lifestyle. In this episode, I’m sharing four simple yet effective strategies that health coaches use to help their clients build confidence and take action:

✨ Master small tasks and build from there✨ Find a relatable role model who’s doing what you want to do (without being too ahead of you)✨ Work with a coach or mentor to help you develop the right skills
✨ Improve your emotional state to stay motivated and resilient

Tomorrow is my birthday (!!), and I can't believe I’m saying this—but I’m actually excited to turn 26. My 25th year was heavy, introspective, and filled with lessons, but it also brought growth, wins, and new beginnings.

This past year, I:
✨ Bought myself a car
✨ Started freelancing
✨ Began planning my move-out journey
✨ Went back to school (for health coaching!)

But the biggest transformations weren’t just external—they were internal. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the lessons that shaped me, from navigating love and detachment as an empath to realizing that I’ll never feel fully ready for life’s milestones (and that’s okay). Plus, we’re talking about money, self-worth, and why your body is the only home you’ll ever truly have.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my twenties, it’s that taking care of my body now is an investment in my future self. And lately, I’ve been obsessed with a wellness ritual that feels equal parts luxurious and life-changing: the sauna.

Picture this—you step into the heat, beads of sweat forming as your body releases the toxins of the day. Your skin starts glowing, your muscles relax, and for a moment, life feels simpler. But what if I told you that this ancient practice doesn’t just make you feel good in the moment? It boosts red blood cell production, enhances recovery, reduces stress, and may even prevent Alzheimer’s.

In today’s Body Detox Series, I’m breaking down the science, the ritual, and the magic of saunas. Are Finnish, infrared, or steam saunas the best? How does hot & cold therapy supercharge the benefits? And can sweating really give you clearer skin and a sharper mind? Let’s find out.

I had to take a week off because, honestly, recovery from this back injury (thanks, skiing) hit a rough patch. Six weeks later, I’m finally feeling better—but last week was tough. Slowing down felt frustrating, and it made me realize how much I miss life when I’m forced to pause. It also got me thinking about winter, stillness, and what this season can teach us about rest and renewal. So, I recorded an episode about it. Let’s talk about slowing down, embracing the pause, and falling in love with life again.

They say a good relationship is all about giving 100/100, but let’s be honest—life doesn’t always allow that. Sometimes, it’s 70/30 or even 10/90, and that’s perfectly normal. In this episode, we’re unpacking what it means to lose the spark in your relationship and why it happens. I’ll share practical tips on how to rekindle that connection, the importance of honest conversations (because no, they can’t read your mind), and why self-reflection is key to bringing the magic back.

If you’ve ever felt like your relationship has been put on the back burner or wondered how to balance love and life in your twenties, this one’s for you. 💕

Let’s make 2025 the year you flow with life, not against it.

In this special Christmas Eve episode, I sit down with my cousin, Sarah Rogers, for a heartfelt conversation about her journey through love, loss, and transformation. From navigating her twenties to finding her footing in her thirties, Sarah shares candidly about the lessons she's learned along the way.

⁠Subscribe to the newsletter⁠

We dive into everything: the fears of following love across continents, the truth about situationships, and the complexities of cross-cultural marriages. Sarah opens up about her life in Cambodia, teaching English during monsoon season, and the surprising joys of solo travel in Vietnam.

She also bravely reflects on her experience with emotional abuse, the strength it took to file for divorce, and the pride of rebuilding her life at 25. And just when she thought love might be out of reach, she found something beautiful: the power of being truly known and loved.

If you're in your twenties or thirties and feeling the weight of relationships, grief, or the search for 'the one,' this episode will speak to you. Sarah's story is a testament to resilience, growth, and the kind of love we all deserve.

What if winter could be the coziest, happiest season of the year? In this episode, I’m sharing how my grandmother recently introduced me to the Norwegian concept of koselig after chatting with relatives in Trondheim. They called winter “a beautiful time to really listen to each other,” and I was hooked.

GET THE 30-DAY KOSELIG JOURNAL CHALLENGE

Through my research, I learned koselig goes far beyond coziness—it’s a philosophy for embracing life’s colder months. Here’s what I unpack in this episode:
0:00 - Why so many of us struggle to enjoy winter
2:14 - What is the Norwegian concept of koselig?
3:45 - Why Norwegians are so happy despite long, dark winters
8:17 - How to create a cozy and inviting environment
10:09 - The power of connection: don’t isolate yourself!

Winter doesn’t have to feel draining. By adopting koselig, you can create warmth, prioritize connection, and find joy in even the darkest months.

Landing your first job after college can feel like an exhausting, demoralizing experience—but what should you do if you haven’t figured out your passion yet?

4:30 - Why starting in a job you’re good at is the smartest move
5:45 - A behind-the-scenes look at my first job out of university
10:20 - How focusing on your strengths can open doors you didn’t expect

Instead of forcing a purpose, choose a path where your skills shine. It’s not just about finding the “right job”—it’s about building confidence, freeing up time to explore what you love, and keeping your self-esteem strong as you navigate adulthood.

Welcome to episode 16 of the Twenties Detox (S1.E16) ~ where we talk about all the struggles of early adulthood and develop better mindsets for growth and healing.

To begin, Bianca starts off by telling us all about her trip to Florida with her friends as well as her Italy trip. She was so excited to explore the great lakes and visit her Nonna's hometown, but guess what? Total bummer alert—her luggage didn't make it to Italy :/ Ever had that happen to you? You buy all these cute outfits, all ready to show them off, and then bam! Disaster strikes. But hold up – Bianca had a realization.

She was like, "Hey, in 20 years, who the heck cares what I wore in Italy? I'll remember the amazing conversations I had with the people on the tour, the overwhelming emotions I felt seeing Nonna's childhood home, and the sheer beauty of those lakes and mountains. That cute dress? Not gonna be a memory worth keeping." And just like that, she moved on.

In the past, going with the flow (which always involves change) felt impossible to do. As a person so used to rigid routines conditioned from school and work, "letting go" was one of the hardest things to do for Bianca. In this episode she will share the revelations she had along the way to develop this better mindset, as well as the 4 main benefits of how to improves our life in our 20s by going with the flow of life.

Sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy.

Hey Twentysomething! 

Welcome to episode 15 of the Twenties Detox (S1.E15) ~ where we talk about all the struggles of early adulthood and develop better mindsets for growth and healing.

Today, we have another retrospective reflections episode! You may remember the episode I recorded a few months ago with my great aunt Reena, where we discussed overcoming life's challenges through perseverance and faith. Today, I am honored to have someone who possesses the same level of strength and determination, as well as the Norwegian grit that runs in our family. Mary Brown is Reena’s younger sister, and despite growing up in the same household, their personalities couldn't be more different! Mary has always been someone who has shown me what it truly means to live life to the fullest. She even has the sign “carpe diem” hanging outside which is  a latin saying to seize the day. Her unwavering positivity and infectious laughter have brought immense light to my family, and in a world that can often feel overwhelming, her example provides invaluable lessons on how to lead a long, healthy, and happy life. So, without further ado, I am thrilled to welcome my wonderful grandmother, well we call her Granny Mary, to the podcast.

Sit back and relax. Hope you enjoy!
