I meditated everyday for 1500 days: my 10 biggest lessons

I meditated everyday for 1500 days: my 10 biggest lessons

For the last five years, I’ve meditated almost every single day. Although highly requested... I was so intimidated to make this video. It is incredibly hard to put five years of deep, soul-shifting lessons into words without sounding cliché. But so many of you have been asking about my practice, so I wanted to finally sit down and try to extract my biggest lessons. Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let’s chat. This is a longer one!! I’m sharing how this daily practice completely saved my mental health, my biggest struggles, and the 10 lessons that changed how I view the world. Whether you’re a total beginner looking for simple mindfulness tips, or you’ve been on a self-improvement journey for years, I hope this helps you let go of the pressure, stop watching the clock, and just reconnect with who you really are. I hope you enjoy!!

The Summer I Started Aligning with the Sun and Trees | Seasonal Living Series

There was a specific summer where I stopped fighting the season and started actually listening to it. And honestly, everything shifted after that. 🌞 In this episode, I am getting into what it really means to live seasonally, and specifically what summer is asking of you right now. We are talking about Q2 reflections, why summer is actually one of the best times to pivot instead of push harder, how social media can quietly pull you away from your own values if you are not paying attention, and the gardening analogy that completely changed how I think about goals. This episode is part of the Seasonal Living Series, and it might be the most grounding one yet!! This one is for you if you have been feeling a shift in your energy lately and you are not quite sure what to do with it.

Listen to this if you get angry easily (there’s a reason)

For the people who get angry easily. See red. Little things might trigger them. You might even feel ashamed afterwards. You’re not alone, this won’t be forever, but there is a REASON behind it. I couldn’t fit a video episode in this week, but didn’t want to leave you hanging!! I have been podcasting for about 3 years now, and although I’ve improved…there’s a few golden episodes in there that didn’t get their spotlight. This episode is one of them. I hope you enjoy! Back to video episodes next week. <3

What I'd Beg Every Woman in Her 20s to Know About Morning Routines

Morning routines are still one of the most talked about topics on the internet. And somehow, so many of us are still waking up feeling behind before the day has even started. In this episode, I am sharing everything I wish someone had told myself earlier about building a routine that's *actually* tailored to yourself. We are getting into why copying what you see on social media is quietly working against you, how your routines can start regulating your nervous system instead of adding to your stress, the two morning rituals I keep returning to no matter what season I am in, and why flexibility might actually be what makes a routine hold long term. We are also going into evening rituals, seasonal workouts, and the one values-based question that ties all of it together. This one is for you if you have tried to build a routine a hundred times and it never sticks. If you scroll through "that girl" content and feel more behind than inspired. If you are ready to stop performing your mornings and actually feel them. In this video: 0:00 Introduction 1:30 Influencers and their routines 2:40 The "perfect" routine 5:55 The purpose of routine 7:40 Stop following other people's routines 8:50 Routines for regaining control 10:58 Routines for nervous system regulation 13:03 Morning ritual #1: mindfulness 16:44 Morning ritual #2: joy 21:30 Why your routines don't stick 23:30 Evening rituals: grounding + quality time 25:55 Quarterly workout routines 30:59 Occasional rituals: travelling, social media detoxes, family time 33:16 Knowing your values is the key 34:01 Summary + outro extra goodies: Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetwentiesdetox/ [https://www.instagram.com/thetwentiesdetox/] Join The Twenties Detox Newsletter for weekly advice, blog updates, and an exclusive action of the week: https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter [https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/newsletter] Grab the Seasonal Workbook, a 40+ page seasonal roadmap to grow without the burnout: https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/align-with-the-seasons-guide [https://www.thetwentiesdetox.com/align-with-the-seasons-guide]

The Art of Unlearning: How to Rewire Your Beliefs and Unlock Your Inner Power

Unlearning is the work nobody warns you about. You can read every self-help book, do all the right things, and still feel stuck, because sometimes the problem is not what you have not yet learned. It is what you need to let go of first. In this episode, I am walking you through the art of unlearning, what it actually means, why it is one of the most powerful things you can do for your personal growth, and the real practical steps I have used to start rewiring the limiting beliefs that were quietly running my life. We are getting into the role of neuroplasticity, how tools like meditation, affirmations, and journaling can genuinely shift your inner world, and the personal stories that made me realize I had to unlearn before I could truly grow. This is the episode I needed years ago. This one is for you if you have done the inner work and still feel like something is holding you back, if you know something needs to change but cannot quite name what it is, or if you are ready to stop letting old beliefs make decisions for you.
