What Are You So Afraid Of Letting Go? How Attachment Keeps You Stuck
Season #9 May 22, 2026
Welcome to episode 73 of The Woman Warrior Podcast! Join your hosts Dr. Satyavani and Prajna Madhavi as they dive into the powerful Yoga Sutra concept of aparigraha, the practice of releasing attachment, letting go of excess, and learning how to live with more freedom, intention, and truth. In this episode, they explore how modern culture pushes us toward overindulgence, materialism, comparison, and constant consumption, while ancient yogic wisdom invites us back into balance. From oversized homes and endless “stuff” to performance pressure, identity struggles, relationship control, and fear of failure, this conversation reveals how attachment shows up in our thoughts, words, actions, and everyday lives.
