The Real Reason Zara Larsson's Rebrand Worked (Every Creative Can Do It!!)

Is overnight success actually real? Zara Larsson's journey from a viral talent show moment to her Midnight Sun rebrand says otherwise, and every creative needs to hear this.

Whether you're a musician, content creator, entrepreneur, or artist... this one is for you. 🌺 We talk about why overnight success is a myth, how social media quietly erodes your creativity, and why the "plateau phase" isn't failure (it's part of the process.)✨ If you've ever felt creatively stuck, doubted your progress, or wondered why your art isn't landing the way you hoped, this episode will help you reconnect with why you started.

5 Things I'll Never Buy In My 20s To Attract More Abundance (My Anti-Haul)

Hi everyone!! This week we got a bit more... controversial. This week I’m talking about 5 things I would never buy in my twenties to support healthier cashflow, and attract more abundance.   Spending/receiving money is very spiritual to me. As a result, I try to spend it carefully, and use it to support my morals and values. A lot of these *things* I would never buy, either give off low spiritual energy to me, or are over-priced for luxury > actual value.  disclaimer: this is not to replace financial advice. I recommend listening to this video from start to finish and write down was resonates (what feels like truth to you) what doesn’t, and who to talk to later about it. Okay…let’s dive in!

2 Sobering Truths About Your Soul's Purpose (It Will Finally Let You Breathe)

There's a particular kind of pressure that follows you into your 20s, quiet, heavy, and relentless. It whispers that you should already know what you're here for. That everyone else has figured it out. That time is running out. Most of us spend what should be the most electric years of our lives paralyzed by one question: What is my purpose? Not curious. Not excited. Paralyzed. I've spent years dedicated to understanding the systems, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck, exploring spiritual practices, sitting with teachers like Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth and Michael Singer in The Untethered Soul, and what I've come to understand about purpose has quietly changed everything for me. By the end of this episode, my hope is that you'll set down the weight you didn't even know you'd been carrying, and finally, genuinely, breathe again. This one is for everyone searching. But especially for you, if you're in your 20s and terrified you're already running out of time. RECOMMENDED BOOKS (these are affiliate links to also support my ability to keep making videos!

This Is Your Sign to Start Before You Feel Ready

You've planned the calendar. Colour-coded the to-do list. Set up the system. And somehow still haven't done the thing. There's a version of procrastination that looks exactly like hard work from the outside, and it might be the sneakiest thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, we're talking about why spring is the season to finally call yourself out on it, let go of the perfect plan, and start before you feel ready. Do it messy. Do it anyway. xoxo, B SEASONAL WORKBOOK: ⁠https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/align-with-the-seasons-guide⁠ [https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/align-with-the-seasons-guide] Subscribe to the free newsletter for more guidance: ⁠https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter⁠ [https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter] TIMESTAMPS 0:00 introduction 1:07 why taking action can be scary 2:46 when planning becomes procrastination 4:34 seasonal living keeps the rhythm 5:48 how to stay resilient and overcome fear of failure 8:56 you've planned enough. act now. 11:55 outro

I graduated and everything fell apart. Here's what I learned 5 years later.

If you clicked on this, you already know why. 🩵 Five years ago, I graduated with a degree in Forensic Science and knew almost immediately that it wasn't the path for me. So I moved back home, and spent the next 2-3 years rediscovering myself. My passions. What actually made me feel alive. It was messy. It was uncomfortable. And nobody really talks about that part too much. The Twenties Detox started as a simple blog post during that season, and slowly became something so much more. This video is my attempt to make you feel a little less alone. To be the big sister who sits across from you and says: you are not behind. You are not failing. Everything IS and WILL be okay. Sending you so much love.xoxo, B Subscribe to the free newsletter for more guidance: https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter TIMESTAMPS 0:00 the weight of being a post-grad 1:04 intro + support TTD <3 1:45 TIP ONE: it's okay if you don't vibe with your degree anymore. 4:43 TIP TWO: it's okay if you need to move home 7:30 TIP THREE: Be a sponge!! 9:33 TIP FOUR: Know when to move on 12:04 TIP FIVE: Network (so important) 14:35 Summary + outro Blog post: https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/journal/a-guide-to-living-with-your-parents-in-your-twenties
