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.

In this video:

• 00:00 Introduction
• 02:02 My hustle culture years
• 02:49 (1) You need to experience the extremes before finding your balance
• 08:23 (2) Balance looks different for everybody
• 11:06 (3) Proper sleep is the foundation to balance
• 18:14 (4) Using the energy of the seasons (nature)
• 22:29 (5) The power of play

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.

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.)✨

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,

B

What if you're not actually failing?

What if there is so much more happening that is invisible preparing you for the biggest breakthrough, yet?

Spring teaches us four important lessons about the truth of sustainable growth: 🌷✨

1. Sometimes we don’t appreciate “boring” growth
2. We need bad days to create good ones. 
3. Sustainable success is meant to be cyclical. Not linear.
4. Success can look invisible, and it's just as powerful.

If you’ve been hard on yourself lately about a lack of growth. This episode is for you.
