Today's confetti is flying, but this work is deeper: 100 episodes in, we’re celebrating by giving you two simple, life-changing practices to make self-love your daily baseline instead of a 'one of these days' goal. When modern life has you overcommitted, under-fueled, or just trapped in your own head, this empowering hour delivers liberation.
Coaches Sam and Polly begin with the story of how they have kept the show sustainable—ditching impossible media production standards and choosing honesty over polish—then they zoom into the real theme that carried them to number 100: self-investment. From childhood imprints to workplace pressure, our inner critic often sounds like truth. But today Coach Sam unpacks that old programming and replaces it with her beautiful 100-day practice: a nightly, handwritten love letter to yourself. Inspired by Author Elizabeth Gilbert, we choose a warm nickname, ask “What would you like me to know today?”, and write a short paragraph of compassion and wisdom. No confessions, no grading. It’s a tiny ritual that rewires self-talk fast. Become your own SOUL MATE.
Next, Coach Polly guides a heart coherence reset inspired by HeartMath: hand on heart, longer exhales to calm your nervous system, then immerse in specific gratitude. Making gratitude more than just a memory, but instead an evolving moment. From that grounded state, add a gentle fourth step—visualize one next becoming that fits your season. This isn’t hustle; it’s alignment. Along the way, we share wins, stumbles, and why staying ad-free lets the conversation stay human.
If you’ve been craving steadiness, clearer choices, and a kinder inner voice, these practices are your on-ramp. Try one, or go bold with both for 100 days and notice how presence returns to your mornings and softness returns to your evenings. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and tell us which practice you’re starting. Your heart already knows the way—come make it your daily home.
