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.
