Hijacked Identity: Addiction & the Return to The True Self | The Attachment Series

A raw and spiritually grounded episode exploring how addiction fragments identity — and how detachment, courage, and connection can bring us back home to who we truly are.
In this deep and honest episode, we explore how addiction isn’t just about substances — it’s about attachment. From compulsive behaviors and codependency to addiction to chaos, fantasy, or control, all forms of addiction have one thing in common: they hijack our identity.
We dive into how addiction forms around a perceived need for safety, love, or connection — and how that attachment, though once a survival strategy, becomes the very thing that disconnects us from our true self.
Drawing on the wisdom of Carl Jung, Gabor Maté, Bruce Lipton, Dr. Silkworth, Bill W., and Hannah’s own long-term recovery journey — along with clients and other courageous souls she’s witnessed in transformation — this episode is a raw and nuanced exploration of:
Why addiction is an attachment to illusion — and how it hijacks identity
How denial, fantasy, and survival strategies mask themselves as normalcy
What it means to become what you're attached to — and how that changes your very self-perception
The real reason people stay stuck (it’s not about willpower)
Why addiction is a spiritual problem — and how spiritual reconnection is the only lasting solution
How original identity gets buried under protective personas and false beliefs
The role of nervous system healing, subconscious rewiring, and presence in recovery
The sacred moment of clarity — and why it’s only the beginning
From codependency and control to compulsive patterns and spiritual disconnection, this episode unpacks how addiction fractures us from our true nature — and why healing requires nothing less than a return to your God-given identity.
 You are not your pattern. Your true self is still intact beneath the attachments.Healing is possible. And your wholeness is calling you home.

How Our Beliefs Inform Our Identity | The Attachment Series

In this episode, we explore how belief systems shape our identity — and how to release the roles we were never meant to carry. From early childhood conditioning and parental projection to spiritual individuation and subconscious healing, we look at the ways we internalize false stories about who we are — and how to reconnect with our true self.
Whether your beliefs were shaped by well-meaning caregivers, teachers, religious messages, or survival roles, there’s always a path back to who you really are — and it begins with awareness.
We explore:
How childhood beliefs shape identity and self-worth
Why authority figures’ words stick — and how to unstick them
Why positive affirmations often don’t work when it comes to deeper, habituated beliefs
The power of reparenting and subconscious healing
Identity, survival roles, and the creation of the false self
Individuation, shadow work, and the dark night of the soul
Strengthening your spiritual connection and inner power
Using discernment and boundaries to support your transformation
A Mother’s Day reflection on growth, love, and the gift of motherhood

Awakened Attention: Embodying Change Through Conscious Awareness and Choice

This episode is Part 2 of our ongoing Attachment Series — a journey into how attention, embodiment, and energetic boundaries silently yet clearly shape our lives. Today, we're exploring the unseen forces that influence your state of being — and how reclaiming your focus can transform not just your energy, but the reality you're living.
What you give your attention to… you begin to embody.What you embody… shapes your energy, your nervous system, and the direction of your life.
In this powerful installment of the Attachments series, we explore embodiment, attention, and the often-unnoticed ways they influence your identity, your energy, and your ability to live with peace and clarity. This is a gentle but activating episode — designed to help you get honest about where your energy is going, and how to realign it.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to recognize the energy you're unconsciously embodying (and how to shift it)
How to effectively utilize your environment as a tool to shift your frequency — including grounding, the Schumann Resonance, and the power of light
The connection between attention, identity, and emotional regulation
How to tell when your energy is being hijacked — and how to come back home to yourself
Why you are not powerless (and how to reclaim agency through small, sacred choices)
You’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of how powerful your awareness really is — and how these seemingly subtle forces of attention and embodiment are, in fact, not subtle at all. One shapes the other. Together, they influence your energy, your identity, and the reality you live inside of — from your moment-to-moment experience to the direction of your entire life.

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

Soul Awake: Bridge the Gap and Unburden Through Self-Compassion

Welcome back to the podcast, beautiful souls. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the sacred and transformative work of self-forgiveness and compassion—and why this is not just “nice to have” work… it’s what will truly transform your relationship with yourself as the foundational relationship to all the others and what will ultimately open you up to more abundance in your life.
If you’ve ever felt blocked, stuck in shame, hard on yourself, or unable to receive the love and abundance that’s meant for you—this conversation is for you.
We explore:
Why self-forgiveness is often harder than forgiving others
How shame forms and why it holds such power—until we bring it into the light
The link between self-forgiveness and abundance, creativity, joy, and relationships
The role of the nervous system in receiving new beliefs and healing old patterns 
Subconscious reprograming through hypnosis
Why healing requires consistency, safety, and true presence
The connection between inner division and outer struggle
How compassion restores clarity, energy, and connection to Spirit
This episode is a call to reconnect with the truth of who you are, to release the false judgments and inner division that keep you from peace—and to begin tending to your inner world like it’s your truest home. Because it is.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness: Moving Beyond Anger and Resentment

Hey, friends! Welcome back to the podcast— Today’s episode is a tender and powerful one. We’re diving into the complex, often misunderstood emotions of anger and resentment… and how forgiveness is not just a luxury, but a vital key to true healing and freedom.
If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of forgiving someone (or yourself), if anger feels like a shield you’re not sure you’re ready to put down, this conversation is for you.
We explore:
✨ Why forgiveness is a necessity, not a weakness✨ How anger serves us—and when it begins to block us✨ The deep connection between grief, anger, and healing✨ Why holding on to resentment keeps us bound, energetically and emotionally✨ How suppressed anger can show up in the body as inflammation and illness✨ Practical insights on softening the protective layers and allowing compassion to rise✨ The power of connection, community, and higher power in the process of release✨ Personal stories of loss, dreams, and how healing often brings surprising joy✨ Why forgiveness is central to recovery, clarity, and accessing our true selves
This episode is an invitation to explore your own relationship with anger and forgiveness, and to consider that letting go doesn’t mean condoning—but it does mean setting yourself free.
I also talk about how forgiveness opens the door to creative expression, joy, and connection—and why it's so worth it.
If this resonates with you, stay tuned… a future episode on self-forgiveness and compassion is coming soon!
Thanks for being here with me. Much Love

The Truth About Confidence: Accessing Your Innate Brilliance

We’ve all been sold the idea that confidence is something we have to build from scratch. That it’s about mastering a skill, perfecting our image, or forcing ourselves to act as if. But what if I told you that’s only half the truth?
The real truth? Confidence isn’t earned—it’s remembered. It’s been within you this whole time. But somewhere along the way, conditioning, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs buried it under layers of hesitation, fear, and “shoulds.”
Let’s cut through the noise of self-help fads and temporary mindset hacks and get down to the core of who you really are—the version of you that doesn’t need to fake it.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
Why most self-help approaches to confidence keep you stuck in the conscious mind and don’t create real change.
The biggest lie about confidence—and how shifting this one belief will change everything.
Why your subconscious holds the key to true confidence (and how hypnosis and subconscious work can reconnect you to it).
How elevating your frequency naturally unlocks confidence, joy, and limitless possibilities.
The reason forcing positivity or “acting as if” doesn’t work—and what actually does.
The small but powerful shifts you can start making today to tap into your innate brilliance.
Mentioned in This Episode:
How self-forgiveness and self-compassion are the foundation of lasting confidence.
The power of hypnosis in reconnecting with your true self.
My Affirmation Elevation Masterclass—a deep dive into shifting your frequency and stepping into confidence effortlessly.

Raising Our Attention To Live In The Vibration Of Love: A Spiritual Perspective

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative and healing power of love, exploring how tapping into its truest essence can allow us to live in the vibration of love and harness its power for personal growth and spiritual evolution. Love is more than just a feeling—it is a state of being that has the ability to heal, overcome fear, and guide us from superficial, disconnected relationships into deeper, more authentic connections. By consciously choosing love, we can navigate adversity with grace, foster inner peace, and experience joy. We discuss how love, when fully embraced, becomes a guiding force that not only elevates our personal lives but also connects us to a higher state of consciousness and fulfillment.
In this episode, we explore the transformative power of love from a deep, spiritual perspective. Drawing on teachings from Christ, St. John of the Cross, Anthony de Mello,  insights from David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness, and a deeper discussion on the highest form of love, AGAPE.
Key takeaways:
Love as a State of Being – Beyond emotions or fleeting experiences, love is an ever-present force we can align with to transform our lives.
Choosing Love Over Fear – Love expands, while fear contracts. When we consciously choose love, we open ourselves to growth, connection, and truth.
The Limitless Depth of Love – Love is an infinite wellspring; the deeper we explore it, the more we discover its capacity to heal, elevate, and transform.
Unconditional & Unattached Love – True love does not seek to control, possess, or demand; it flows freely, unbound by expectation or condition.
Love as a Higher Consciousness – Living in love moves us beyond ego and intellect, guiding us toward spiritual clarity, peace, and divine wisdom.
The Healing Power of Love – Love has the power to dissolve pain, break cycles of fear, and bring restoration to both our inner world and our relationships.
Agape: The Highest Love – Christ’s love, sacrificial and unconditional, serves as the ultimate example of love in its purest, most transformative form.
By embracing love as our guiding force, we tap into its boundless depth, allowing it to shape our lives, heal our wounds, and elevate us to a higher state of being.
💡 Listen now to deepen your awareness of operating from a higher state of love in all your relationships.
