69. Death of Your Former Self
Who are you… really? In this episode of Carlos Unfiltered, we dive deep into identity—what it means to let go of who you were and step into who you’re becoming. Most people believe they need to “find themselves.” But what if the truth is… you don’t discover who you are—you uncover it? Carlos shares his personal journey of shedding identities tied to his past—former inmate, gang member, limited thinking—and how developing new skills, healing, and self-awareness allowed him to step into a new version of himself. We also explore how to deal with people who try to keep you in your old identity, why growth can feel isolating, and how to stay focused when no one else understands your vision. Your past is part of your story—but it doesn’t have to define your future.
