Worthiness, Attachment & the Art of Letting Go

In this episode of In-Bodied, we’re talking about something most of us avoid—but desperately need to face: worthiness.

So many women say they want to detach, let go, or stop being anxiously attached… but the truth is, detachment doesn’t happen through willpower. It happens through radical honesty.

If we can’t admit how unworthy we feel beneath the surface how much we seek validation, reassurance, or proof that we matter we stay stuck repeating the same attachment patterns.

Today’s conversation is about:

• Owning your shit without shame

• Understanding how worthiness fuels attachment

• Why detaching isn’t cold it’s self-respect

• And how healing begins the moment you stop pretending you’re “fine”

This is an episode for the woman who’s tired of overgiving, overthinking, and over-attaching and is finally ready to choose herself.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The hidden link between low self-worth and anxious attachment

• Why we cling harder when we secretly believe we’re replaceable

• How “needing” someone is often a cover for unworthiness

• The difference between detaching and disconnecting

• Why you can’t heal what you refuse to admit

• How self-awareness—not self-criticism—is the doorway to freedom

• Letting go without bitterness, punishment, or shutdown

Key Takeaways:

• You don’t detach by pretending you don’t care—you detach by caring for yourself more.

• If you won’t admit where you feel unworthy, you’ll keep chasing proof that you are.

• Detachment is not abandonment; it’s self-loyalty.

• Healing requires ownership, not blame.

• The moment you stop lying to yourself is the moment things start to change.

You don’t heal by becoming someone else.

You heal by finally being honest about who you are and choosing yourself anyway.
