The Twenties Detox

Q4 is right around the corner. And in the corporate and business world, this tends to be one of the busiest times of the year.

End-of-year budgets, holiday sales and marketing campaigns, hitting annual targets, wrapping up projects, planning for the new year... there’s a lot happening.

But here’s the thing: we have a say in how we live, too.
That busy, “finish everything before the year ends” energy isn’t necessarily nature’s energy. It’s business energy. And if we’re not careful, we can start carrying that energy into our own lives, even when the season around us is asking us to do something completely different.

When we resist the slower energy of autumn, it can start to show up in ways like:
Feeling disconnected from your self-worth or self-love
Becoming insecure about how much (or how little) you’ve grown
Getting sick more often
Feeling exhausted, but still feeling like you can’t slow down
Constantly feeling like you need to be doing more before the year is over

As we lean into this new season, I’ll be guiding us through what autumn can actually teach us, what it means to embrace slower months, and how to honour that slower energy without sacrificing our success or ambitions.

But for now, let’s just take a moment.

Look at your vision board. What has come true? What still needs nurturing? What can you let go of?

And, perhaps most importantly, what should you avoid?(Hint: trying to force yourself into “lock in” mode when the season is asking you to slow down.)

And then there’s the bonus topic that somehow creeps up every year and has a way of pulling us out of enjoying the season altogether: preparing mentally and financially for the holidays.

Because yes, autumn is about slowing down. But that doesn’t mean we have to be caught off guard when December rolls around.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

Much love,
Bianca

I've always been a very nostalgic person. I love decorating for the fall. Planning the traditions that I would do while the leaves start turning into beautiful golden colours. Making fall candles candy apples are an annual Thanksgiving pumpkin toss (whoever’s rolls the furthest, wins!). 

I'd also love to watch movies that would get me in the mood for the season all the 90s and early 2000s Disney Halloween movies, and I even have a fall playlist that I put on the second. It turns October 1st. 

It seems I'm not the only one that's constantly craving to feel like a kid again and each of those seasons. It can feel discouraging when no matter what it never reaches what it was like as a kid. But that doesn't mean we can't do things now to maximize every season that comes in a way that feels like you did as a kid and also with the flow of time meaning having the courage to try new things as well. 

p.s. I was feeling a little under the weather while recording this one so it's why it's a bit slower and softer. I hope you enjoy it. <3

Friendships in your twenties can feel complicated.
People grow, paths change, and it can be hard to know which connections to nurture, redefine, or release.
In this episode, I share the friendship analogy that helped me stop expecting every friendship to hold the same depth: the onion layers.
We talk about the value of curiosity, giving people room to change, investing in your core community, and becoming your own best friend along the way.
Your friendships do not all need to look the same to be meaningful. 🩵
p.s. thanks for being patient with this episode! I couldn’t get it up yesterday because of some technical issues.
xo,

Sensommer is the Scandinavian word for late summer. That golden, lingering stretch before fall arrives. This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay present, and celebrate the season instead of rushing past it.

Before we chase pumpkin spice, let's sip the last drop of summer and honour everything it gave us: the wins, the growth, and the moments we almost skipped past.

Stay a little longer in the sun. 🍑

Health is one of the most profitable industries in the world, and that comes with a cost.

Most people are aware of the villainization of western medicine and its ties to Big Pharma. But smart entrepreneurs noticed that shift before the rest of us did, and eastern medicine is now facing the same disproportionate focus on profit over people.

At the end of the day, no guru, doctor, or wellness specialist knows you better than you know yourself. Now more than ever, we need to become better advocates for our own autonomy when it comes to our health.
Disclaimer: this isn't anti-doctor or anti-wellness. It's a reminder that no single product, protocol, or person has the entire answer, because your body, your mind, and your life are too unique for a one-size-fits-all fix.
Buckle up, grab a beverage, and let's chat some de-influencing on my couch!!
