In this deeply transformative episode of Beyond Words, Najwa Zebian explores the true meaning of detachment—not as a rejection of love or connection, but as the path to freedom from unsafe, inconsistent, and harmful bonds. You’ll learn why detaching from the wrong people is the greatest act of self-liberation, and how to build strong, safe attachments that honor your authenticity.

Through powerful imagery, heartfelt reflection, and excerpts from her own writing, Najwa guides you back to yourself—reminding you that at the end of your healing journey, your inner child is waiting to be saved and brought home.
