Letting Go of Who You Were Taught to Be: Releasing Attachments & Reclaiming Identity

 

In this powerful episode, we explore the subtle — and often invisible — ways that attachments shape our identity and keep us disconnected from our true self, purpose, and spiritual clarity.

Many of us are not lost… we're just overly attached to who we were taught to be.

Through personal stories, spiritual reflection, and grounded insights, I unpack how attachments to beliefs, roles, and conditioning become so intertwined with identity that we mistake them for truth. Drawing on Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.’s The Five Levels of Attachment, we walk through what it looks like to loosen the grip, reclaim your inner authority, and reconnect with the voice of your soul.

This episode offers both spiritual depth and practical direction for anyone feeling stuck, misaligned, or unsure of who they really are — and why that matters more than ever.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What identity truly is — and how it gets distorted
• How attachments to beliefs, roles, and outside validation block inner freedom
• The 5 Levels of Attachment and how to recognize them in your own life
• What it feels like to internalize false projections and narratives
• Why resistance, defensiveness, and rigidity often signal misalignment
• How to begin detaching with grace — and why it's often uncomfortable before it's liberating
• Reflections on family roles, cultural programming, and spiritual disconnection
• A gentle invitation to return home to your true self
