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. 🩵========================in this episode:  00:00 introduction02:13 my extremely minimal self-maintenance routine05:27 relationships are tough & confusing for me07:07 my hyper-independence, female rage & feeling like a burden10:47 marriage is not on my mind at all12:50 I am a recovering workaholic15:10 hard truth about being entrepreneurial17:15 journaling is sooooo hard for me19:11 I still struggle with body image20:40 final thoughts===== ===================How to support me (so I can keep posting!):Get my seasonal workbook: A 4-part workbook you can use every year to plan your goals in alignment with nature’s seasons. https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/align-with-the-seasons-guide========================More resources:The Twenties Detox Newsletter (free!!)https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter

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.========================in this episode:  00:00 Introduction to autumn rituals and their importance02:33 #1 : romanticizing the darker evenings03:35 making candles & mood lighting!08:00 activities that don't need daylight09:19 re-wiring darkness with coziness18:12 #3 Letting go through cord cutting meditations23:28 #4 Reconnecting with joy and inner child activities25:05 preparing for a whimsical winter27:25 romanticizing without over-consumerism29:08 final thoughts===== ===================How to support me (so I can keep posting!):1.

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.========================in this episode:  0:00 introduction1:10 disclaimer2:52 two themes for unresolved grief3:52 finding the 'healthy' balance to grieve is unique. 4:21 the 'stages of grief' is a lie5:38 avoiding vs. dwelling: finding your balance8:30 the 30-minute practice for processing big emotions11:55 you are not your grief: stepping into observer mode15:35 growing around grief instead of trying to erase it17:18 the '1883' tv show lesson that reframes loss21:04 turning grief into purpose and forward motion25:53 closing thoughts for the season ahead===== ===================How to support me (so I can keep posting!):1.

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. 🩵========================00:00 introduction01:45 power of seasonal living04:12 internal vs external seasons06:20 autumn transition: between 'doing' and 'being'06:20 autumn feels: cozy, warmth, slowing down07:44 the balance between 'doing' and 'being'09:15 slower seasons ALLOW for continuous growth.12:34 darker evenings: illuminating shadows13:42 why do we have shadows?15:43 the interconnectedness of light and darkness17:03 resistance to autumn & slower seasons18:08 final thoughts, workbook + newsletter========================How to support me (so I can keep posting!):1.

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. 🩵========================in this episode:  0:00 introduction1:39 meet haku2:03 a heavier theme of autumn...4:29 these thoughts are not productive.7:03 how to forgive ourselves (guilt vs shame)9:56 how I forgave my reactivity11:27 autumn season unlocks your shadows13:12 how to accept ourselves for where we are right now17:42 you're not giving yourself enough credit20:08 recap21:21 job market example22:35 final thoughts, seasonal workbook and newsletter========================How to support me (so I can keep posting!):1.
