104 - 3 Simple Steps To 'Begin Again' with Coach Sam

from The Everyday Awesome Project · host Polly Mertens & Samantha Pruitt

Coach Sam Jam Solo this week! Reminding you that the odds that you exist are staggering—and once you feel that, self-compassion stops sounding like fluff and starts feeling like strategy. We break down a simple three-step reset to help you begin again when old patterns of self-criticism flare: remember where you came from, become your own soulmate, and heal what’s still tender while keeping what’s healed from hardening.First, we reframe your origin story as proof of resilience. Whether your caregivers were present, absent, or imperfect, you survived and kept learning. That context loosens shame and opens space for growth. From there, we move into daily practices that build the self-compassion muscle: talk to yourself like someone you love, write short love letters to your future self, and stop the quiet self-punching that drains motivation. You’ll hear how naming regrets out loud and on paper frees the body from carrying old scripts, and why thanking your body for showing up—tired, scarred, still loyal—changes the tone of your inner coaching.Finally, we map the path from open wounds to flexible scars. Fresh hurts need resolution, not rumination, and that might look like therapy (EMDR, IFS, somatic), bodywork, energy work, or honest boundary-setting. When the wound closes, keep it mobile: try new routines, reconnect with joy, and let your heart stretch so opportunities can reach you. The throughline is simple: context, care, repair. If you’re ready for a reset that’s human, practical, and sustainable, press play and practice along with us.If self-compassion feels hard right now, reach out—we’re here to help. And if this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs gentleness today, and leave a quick review so more people can find their way back to themselves.Send us Fan Mail Follow Coach Polly @getbusythriving and Coach Sam @thesamanthapruitt Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/everydayawesomeprojectFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everydayawesomeprojectLinktree for ALL THE THINGS: https://linktr.ee/everydayawesomeprojectWebsite/About Us: https://everydayawesomeproject.com/about-us/
