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.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/JoSBVWD2zp8GET THE NEWSLETTER: https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter

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.CHECK OUT SERENITÀ WELLNESS RETREATS (and get 300 eur off!)SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER (free!!)
What if everything you thought you knew about female pleasure was wrong? What if the pain, the shame, the faking it...what if none of that was actually normal, and there was a way to heal it all?SIGN UP TO THE NEWSLETTER (link down below!)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 sexMORE LINKSAzia Mery: Azia's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azia_mery/Azia's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aziamery The Twenties Detox: https://www.instagram.com/thetwentiesdetox/https://www.tiktok.com/@thetwentiesdetoxNewsletter for more tips (FREE): https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter
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.SIGN UP TO THE NEWSLETTER& don't forget to comment!

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.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro1:50 – Jiordana’s Story: substance abuse, early 20s pregnancy, eating issues, becoming a nutritionist, and working in an obesity clinic7:00 – The psychology of food: how we think about food13:17 – Brain–gut connection & food allergies17:00 – Why we self-sabotage20:00 – The mother wound & eating issues27:00 – Pattern resets for negative self-talk31:20 – Hypnotherapy for healing eating issues & substance abuse35:44 – Is obesity genetic?

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.

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?✨ Grab a drink and join Ellen and me for this unfiltered, wine-fueled chat!
