What Does "Doing the Work" Actually Mean?

You've heard the phrase everywhere: "You have to do the work." But what does that actually mean? In this episode, I break down what "doing the work" looks like specifically when working with me as your therapist and coach. From understanding the underlying memories and triggers causing painful patterns today to healing mother wounds and breaking generational cycles, I walk you through exactly what healing entails. I explain my two main ways of working: individual one-on-one sessions for personal healing and my Reconnection Rescue program for mother-daughter pairs working together. You'll learn why the first half of relationship healing is often the most difficult (because we're talking about breakdown before we can rebuild), how I help clients move from reactive parenting to intentional choices, and why saying "I'll just do the opposite of my mom" isn't enough for your brain to actually change patterns.

With this episode you'll be able to:

• Understand what "doing the work" means in terms of healing and personal growth
• Learn about the Reconnection Rescue program structure and why the first 6 sessions are hardest
• Discover how individual coaching addresses mother wounds, parenting triggers, and trauma
• Understand why "doing the opposite" of your mother isn't an effective healing strategy
• Learn how to make intentional parenting choices rather than reactive ones
• See why healing work requires specificity and can't rely on vague intentions
• Recognize that different therapists and coaches will approach "the work" differently
