071 - What “The Work” Actually Means (And How to Know If You’re Ready)
from Tuned In The Podcast with Mary Hopper · host Mary Hopper
In this episode, I’m breaking down what I actually mean when I say “the work,” because I talk about it a lot and I know it can feel a little vague. The work isn’t a checklist or a quick fix. It’s getting honest with yourself. It’s taking responsibility for your role in your relationships, your patterns, and the things in your life that don’t feel good. I walk through how this process starts with self-awareness, learning to recognize what’s yours and what isn’t, and understanding how your beliefs and behaviors are shaping the way you show up every single day. This is the deeper layer that most people avoid, but it’s also where everything starts to shift. I also talk about how to know when you’re actually ready for this work. Usually, it’s when you’re tired of your own patterns, when your intuition keeps nudging you, or when your relationships feel strained and something just isn’t working anymore. This work isn’t always comfortable, but it’s what creates real change. When you start listening to your body, owning your reactions, and showing up differently, your confidence grows and your relationships transform. This episode is your starting point to understand what the work really looks like and whether you’re ready to step into it.Resources:Tuned In MembershipMoon & MeSolid In Self Course
