Letting Go of Who You Were Taught to Be: Reclaiming Identity | The Attachment Series
Ep. 33
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
If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure of who you really are, this might be the nudge to look beneath the surface.
Sometimes what we call confusion is actually our soul asking us to let go of what’s not really us.
This episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and begin releasing what no longer fits — with love, not force.
