What if the thing keeping you from becoming who you want to be… is the backup plan you keep just in case you don’t?
We keep old clothes for the body we’re afraid we’ll get back. Old identities in case this new version of us doesn’t stick. Old stories, labels, habits, and proof of who we used to be — tucked away like an insurance policy.
Because fully becoming someone new requires something terrifying:
Letting the old version of you stop being an option.
In this episode of Sacred Detours with Cori, we’re talking about identity insurance — the subtle ways we keep one foot in our old lives while trying to build new ones.
Why your brain desperately wants a backup plan.
Why transformation can feel unsafe even when it’s exactly what you want.
And why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is burn the fucking insurance policy.
You don’t need to keep preparing for the possibility that you’ll become her again.
You get to become someone new.
🔥 Welcome to the detour.
