Hiiiii friends, welcome back to this lil corner of the internet!!! The third episode of ✨Finding your Casual Magic✨  (it still doesn’t feel real ahhh). Thank you so much for all the love on my first two episodes, the launch of episode 1 was incredible and I had the most amazing time chatting with Ruby in episode 2. It means the world to feel so supported, so grateful for you all    But in TODAYS episode I am back with another solo episode and this time we are tackling our 20s!! The grand topic that is the stress and pressure of being in your twenties and the pressure to be and do everything all the time, all at once. No matter who you are, where you're from, what your cultural background is, I think your twenties universally feel like a very stressful time.   As always, I open with a short guided meditation which allows you to settle in and feel grounded in the otherwise hectic, whirlwind of our lives. I start the episode with some facts, studies show that young people now have the poorest mental health of any age group, which is actually a reversal from two decades ago when they had the lowest incidence of common mental disorders. That’s wild!!! I also talk all about post-graduation life, dealing with burnout, the impact of social media, cultural and societal pressures and how to live more intentionally in your twenties.   I close the episode with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ and a Casual Magic from one of you guys followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves…   What is something I’m proud of this week? What went well this week? What is a little win that I can celebrate? What is something that didn’t go well this week? What is something that challenged me this week? Based on these reflections, choose a one word intention for your coming week. I am so grateful that you’re here and I hope you love this first episode, and if no one has told you today, you are enough. 💛 Links: Productivity Culture and why we are getting “burnout” in our 20s More people in early 20s out of work from ill health than early 40s - study The Data Confirms It: Your 20s Will Probably Be The Worst Years Of Your Adult Life Timestamps 00:00: Introduction to the episode 00:46: The Stress and Pressure of Being in Your 20s 02:47: Guided Meditation Session 04:27: What's Happening to People in Their 20s? 07:00: The Impact of Social Media 09:04: The Challenge of Comparison 11:26: Statistical Insights on Mental Health 13:00: The Hopeful Future 14:38: Society's Emphasis on Early Success 16:08: The Myth of Meritocracy 18:22: Personal Examples and Challenges 21:19: Hard Work and Class Ceiling 22:16: The Importance of Art 23:07: Challenges in dreaming big 23:52: Importance of artistic education for children 24:25: Personal experiences with education and support 25:17: Book recommendation: The Defining Decade  25:57: Intentionality in your 20s 27:25: Love as a skill 28:51: The importance of intentionality in love life 30:07: Post-graduation challenges and burnout 33:10: Pressure and uncertainty after university 36:02: Life as a series of chapters 37:46: Conclusion: Living in the present with long-term thinking 39:35: Casual Magic of the week 41:00: Reflecting on the week and setting intentions If you’d like to be featured as the Casual Magic of the week: 💌 Notice a moment of casual magic in your week.

Hi friends, welcome back to ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ (ahhhh I still can’t believe I’m saying that) and welcome to the first ever guest episode!! The way this podcast works is I am going to find a guest who pairs really well to the theme of my previous solo episode and in episode one I introduced Casual Magic, looking into what it means to find beauty in the mundane moments of every day. When I was brainstorming who represents this idea best I couldn’t think of anyone better than my dear friend Ruby Granger.   Ruby has one of the most incredibly inspiring journeys, she started off as a studytuber similar to myself, inspiring people to love learning, to feel less stressed about exams and to kind of find this intrinsic joy within studying. Not only is Ruby this powerhouse YouTuber with almost a million subscribers who she inspires in such a multitude of ways but she is also so much more than that, the way that she carries herself as a person and on the Internet radiates kindness.   After gracefully receiving a rejection from Oxford, Ruby went on to study English literature at Exeter University and recently just did a masters at Oxford so she is such a testament to not letting rejection define you and to continue striving for your goals as you enter different seasons of life.   In every episode I begin with a short guided meditation which allows you to settle in and feel grounded in the otherwise hectic, whirlwind of our lives before myself and Ruby dig into everything from her successes to her failures, her incredibly inspiring mindset on the world and also how she finds joy independent of her achievements.   The episode closes with ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves…   What went well this week? What are you proud of this week? What is something that challenged me this week? Based on these reflections, choose a one word intention for your coming week.   I am so grateful that you’re here and I hope you love this first episode, and if no one has told you today, you are enough. 💛   Follow Ruby on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RubyGranger8 Follow Ruby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_rubygranger/   If you’d like to be featured as the Casual Magic of the week: 💌 Notice a moment of casual magic in your week.

Hi friends, welcome to this brand new cosy lil corner of the internet!!! The first EVER episode of  ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ (ngl I’m a lil scared hehe). Casual magic is about how we find beauty in the mundane everyday. We tend to look forward to the 1% of days in our lives to find joy, like the birthday, the wedding, the job promotion. But honestly, 99% of our lives are just the same routines — and how sad would it be if we only chose to experience joy 1% of the time? Casual magic is about looking for these tiny moments in every day that are casually magic. In my first episode I open with a short guided meditation which allows you to settle in and feel grounded in the otherwise hectic, whirlwind of our lives. I then share with you my journey on how I became a studytuber, the inspiration behind my channel name and how I discovered Casual Magic. I share examples of when Casual Magic has played an important part in my life, including how I managed to balance my increasing workload and university life whilst navigating mental health challenges within my family. I close the episode with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves… What went well this week? What is a little win that I can celebrate? What is something that challenged me this week? What is something I would change coming into next week? Based on these reflections, choose a one word intention for your coming week. I am so grateful that you’re here and I hope you love this first episode, and if no one has told you today, you are enough. 💛 Timestamps: 00:00: Introduction and welcome 01:06: Commitment to be present 02:06: Meditation Session 04:40: Podcast and Personal Introduction 09:25: Explanation of 'Casual Magic' term and the podcast intentions 12:51: Strategies for fostering mindfulness 14:00: Commitment to vulnerability and shared humanity 15:04: Further exploration of the 'Casual Magic' concept 17:50: Promoting the practice of Casual Magic for daily happiness 19:00: Discussion on brain rewiring and behaviour change (long term potentiation) 22:01: Strategies for combating negativity and self-limiting beliefs 22:25: Small steps towards self-affirmation 23:34: Personal perception of the world 25:13: Perception through unique experiences 27:27: Making intentional effort to view the positive 30:50: Introduction to personal experiences related to casual magic 31:43: Balancing workload and university life 36:06: Dealing with a family member's mental health 41:16: Reflection on the week and intention setting 43:39: Gratitude expression and closing message. ✨ CONTACT ME ✨ Email: Findingyourcasualmagic@gmail.com Business Enquiries: unjadedjade@sixteenth.com Instagram - @unjadedjade TikTok: @unjadedjade This is Finding Your Casual Magic ✨ with UnJaded Jade Produced by The Podcast Guys Theme music by Francesca Lu For more Finding Your Casual Magic, go to @casualmagicpodcast
