In this solo episode, I want to talk about something people ask me about all the time – what does it actually mean to “do the work”? I recognise that the majority of us grew up in homes where feelings weren’t exactly welcomed. Anger got shut down. Tears got ignored. Mistakes got shamed. And so we learned pretty early that the safest thing to do was to push it all down and get on with it. The problem is, those feelings don’t go anywhere. They just wait. I explore: Why most of us were never taught to process our emotions – and how that shapes our adult behaviour The “dark night of the soul” – the crisis moments that often push us toward deeper self-examination The loneliness of changing when the people around you aren’t What does doing the work actually look like – inner child work, journaling, reparenting How to start noticing your triggers as invitations, not problems Why going slowly and gently is not weakness – it’s wisdom What I know from many years of working with people – and from my own journey – is that nobody ever regrets doing this work. Nobody regrets healing. The invitation is simply to get curious, go gently, and take one step at a time.
