Pain repeats itself until it’s faced.   In this first episode of The WORK Jake Hamilton digs into why the same struggles keep showing up in our lives—whether it’s in relationships, family, or the hidden places of our story. Much of our pain is connected to childhood wounds, unspoken fears, and the deep need to be seen and heard. In typical Jake fashion, we quickly move from the surface conflict into the root issues of identity, worth, and trust. Discover why being combative often masks the desire to be recognized, why the lie of “not enough” keeps us on a cycle of burnout, and how fear shapes our conversations more than we realize. Often what we call conflict isn’t about the thing in front of us—it’s about the story underneath. In this episode, you’ll be invited to name your fears, break the cycle of old agreements, and move toward a deeper honesty that opens the door to real transformation. This is where truth meets courage—and this is where the work begins.   Related Materials: If you’re ready to go deeper, Jake also offers one-on-one and group coaching.
