Letting go isn’t giving up it’s choosing peace. In this episode, we explore the cost of carrying emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you, why self-abandonment isn’t love, and how hope can become unhealthy when it causes you to ignore reality. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.

This episode was recorded live at Pasaporte with Hector, and it centers on the tension of showing up in spaces where you feel out of place, underestimated, or unseen. Not to perform. Not to fit in. But to exist fully as yourself.

We talk about identity, belonging, faith, discomfort, and what happens when you stop shrinking to match a room that was never designed for you. Sometimes growth doesn’t come from finding where you belong—it comes from standing firm where you don’t.

This conversation is raw, honest, and necessary. It’s for anyone who’s ever questioned their place, their voice, or their right to be in the room.

Because belonging isn’t always about acceptance.
Sometimes it’s about presence.

Feeling “not enough” isn’t a personality flaw it’s a learned response.

In this episode, we expose the comparison loop: how environments, relationships, and constant evaluation train the mind to shrink itself. When you stay around people who make you feel replaceable, you don’t become stronger, you become quieter.

This conversation is about:
Psychological conditioning and self-worth
Why comparison feels automatic (and how to interrupt it)
The science behind emotional invalidation
Detaching from people who diminish you
Rebuilding confidence without external permission

You don’t need to prove your worth.

You need to stop negotiating it.

Detachment creates space and what fills that space is your future. In this episode, we explore what life looks like on the other side of letting go. From rediscovering forgotten parts of yourself to finding peace when old names no longer change your heartbeat, this is where the healing becomes growth. Detachment isn’t about loss, it’s about self-respect, clarity, and stepping into the person you were always meant to be. In this episode of Made For This Mountain, we figure out how to finally grow after detachment

Growing Beyond 
The space you create by letting go is where your future shows up.
Peace isn’t found in holding tighter; it’s found in releasing.
When you detach, you rediscover the parts of you that were suffocating.
What you think you lost is often what you needed to lose.
You’ll know you’ve healed when their name doesn’t change your heartbeat.
Detachment is not the end of love, it’s the beginning of self-respect.
Sometimes God (or life) removes people so you can see your own strength.

Why do we cling to relationships, jobs, and situations long after they’ve stopped serving us? In this episode, we break down the psychology of attachment and why we confuse familiarity with safety. You’ll learn how your brain tricks you into holding on, why your story keeps you stuck, and what it really costs you when you can’t let go. This isn’t just about romantic breakups; it’s about friendships, careers, identities, and anything you’ve outgrown.

One of the biggest fears we have, whether conscious or not, is that we are inadequate. it’s that we aren’t seen or liked, and for most of us, that either makes us severely depressed or makes us fight to be seen in places like people pleasing or needing to be wanted

This episode digs into the part of healing most people avoid: forgiving yourself. I talk about why self-forgiveness hits deeper than forgiving others, how guilt and shame quietly shape your identity, and what it takes to finally stop dragging your past into your present. We break down the difference between a mistake and an identity, how to rebuild trust in yourself, and how to learn from your past without reliving it. This is about grace, honesty, and letting go of the version of you that didn’t know better.

But we don’t stop at the success, Geselle  shares the struggles she’s had to fight through behind the scenes.

Balancing culture, faith, and ambition
What friendship looks like after decades of growth and change
The dreams we’ve caught… and the ones we’re still chasing

It’s part nostalgia, part real talk and a reminder that you can come from humble beginnings and still create something bigger than you imagined.
