The Twenties Detox

Bianca Venchiarutti

Your 20s weren't supposed to feel this disorienting, but half the beliefs driving your decisions aren't even yours. The Twenties Detox is a podcast and blog for women in their 20s ready to stop absorbing and start questioning. We unpack the mindsets and myths keeping you stuck and replace them with a life built around your own rhythms, not someone else's timeline. Growth isn't constant. Some seasons are for building, some for rest, some for starting over. If you're between who you were told to be and who you're becoming, you're in the right place. - Bianca

    The Friendship Analogy I Wish I Knew in My Early 20s

    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,

    Let Me De-Influence You: Why I Stopped Trusting Wellness Gurus

    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!! ======================== In this video… 0:00 introduction 3:24 trifecta of success4:14 miracle marketing 8:57 the consumerism behind modern wellness 10:45 we're over-doing the supplements + medications 14:42 the corruption in both eastern & western medicine   17:07 you NEED to advocate for yourself 19:48 reducing stress should be #1  20:25 final thoughts  ======================== how to support me (so I can keep posting!)… 1.

    5 Things I Do After Work That Don’t Involve My Phone (Summer Edition)

    Maybe you don't hate your job. Your day is just missing your values. For the longest time I thought I couldn't get excited about my days because I didn't enjoy my work enough. What I actually realized was I wasn't building anything into my week that was connected to my top values.  So in this episode, I'm sharing the top 5 things I do after a work day that don't involve my phone (or a TV).  Fair warning… please don't copy my routines! The point of a routine is regulation, familiarity, and listening to your body. What's perfect for me might look completely different for you. Use this as a starting point to figure out what YOU actually value. We're halfway through summer. This is your gentle reminder to maximize the season you're in. In this video… 00:00 introduction 02:27 reminder to use this as inspiration!! 04:39 you're probably not aligned with your values 05:54 #1) Spending time in nature / just be outside. 08:47 #2 + 3) Spending time with loved ones 09:51 why meeting in person is so important 12:13 the first hangout (in a while) is the hardest 13:31 my family + friends make life worth living!! 17:26 #4 fuelling my body (movement + food) 19:24 #5 replenishing creative energy 22:26 how your current lifestyle can guide you 24:55 we are social beings!! 25:47 final thoughts 26:53 how to support this channel HOW TO SUPPORT ME: 🪷 Align Your Life With The Seasons — my 4-part guide + workbook for living the rest of your year in rhythm with the seasons instead of forcing "new year, new me" energy in January.

    How to *Finally* Stop Caring What Other People Think of You

    You are not one person. You are your parents' version, your best friend's version, your coworker's version, and none of them fully capture who you are. So why are you spending your entire twenties trying to control something that was never actually controllable? In this episode, I am getting into why we take things so personally, from evolutionary wiring to childhood conditioning to the stories different cultures teach us about our own worth. We are talking about the difference between defending your identity and defending your ego, the blue hair theory, and the LET THEM mindset that changed how I move through the world. This is the detox of finally letting people misunderstand you. This one is for you if you replay conversations for days, if you have ever assumed someone disliked you over one look, or if you are ready to stop managing everyone else's perception of you. in this video… 00:30 introduction 03:33 greece story + we're caring for unlikely reasons 07:37 how this is damaging relationships 09:29 we care because we're trying to protect our identity 10:08 cultural, psychological + environmental factors 12:07 evolutionary factors 13:33 the danger of seeking approval in your 20s 14:43 high school experience + blue hair theory16:60 recap! 18:57 people in your close circle 20:55 life is too precious to live it for others 22:20 next steps! how to support me (so I can keep posting!)… 1.

    What I’d Beg Every Person in Their 20s to Know About Social Media

    For my 100th episode I think it's time that I share the ultimate detox message for our generation.  Although it might be painful to admit… maybe our parents were right? Maybe it is our phones. Specifically, social media.  If you’ve been listening for a while, you know my complicated relationship with social media. I’ve always felt like a bit of a hypocrite: promoting the podcast and making a living as a social media manager on the very apps that drains me. While there are amazing creators out there, these apps were ultimately built using psychological manipulation. They are no longer just tools for connection; they are engines built to influence and sell to us. In this episode I share my honest thoughts about social media, the psychology of how it’s perpetuating common pain points of feeling “lost” or “behind” in our twenties. I also share some strategies to find a balance with this app (if you’re not convinced to write it off, lol) Lastly, I encourage you to lean into what your gut is telling you while listening to this video. Only *you* will know what your form of balance is. Okay, let's get into it. in this video… 00:00 introduction 02:45 the evolution of instagram 05:35 social media is modern marketing 09:50 the delicacy of our twenties 10:47 yes, it affects our attention span 11:05 mental noise: scrolling is messing up our values & opinions 12:35 it's perpetuating feelings of being "behind" and "lost" 13:45 reflection. how do you consistently feel? 15:10 quick recap 15:38 we can't be bored anymore 16:13 so, why do we keep using it? 20:52 strategies & mindsets to find a balance with social media 26:05 final thoughts how to support me (so I can keep posting!)… 1.
