How to Make Confident Decisions: 5 Journal Prompts To Stop Overthinking #beaguest, #collab, #findaguest, #podswap
Journal Entries is a podcast for women looking to peel back the layers, understand why they feel stuck & gain clarity in their life so that they can make positive changes.
Your host, Samantha Hawley, believes that you can journal through anything as simple as why it’s so hard to stop pressing the snooze button or as trivial as anxiety or why your relationship is struggling. She will help you do this in each Journal Entry (or, episode).
Tune in weekly to get tips, tricks and journal prompts as well as hear from guest speakers to help you to uncover your truths, gain clarity and make your move.
Reserve your free seat at the ‘Permission to Prioritize Your Energy’ workshop! Learn how to stop energy leaks and become an energized woman through daily permission slips.
Are you constantly exhausted even though you’re doing “all the right things” to relieve stress and overwhelm? Going to therapy, exercising, reading personal development books, scheduling self-care Sundays… but you STILL feel drained by 3pm?
Today’s 5-minute journaling session is for the working mom who knows her kids and unfulfilling job are draining her, but can’t figure out why nothing seems to bring her energy back. Spoiler alert: the problem isn’t what you think it is.

Key Takeaways
✨ The real problem: You’re leaking energy through tiny decisions all day long – every time you choose what you “should” do over what you genuinely want
✨ Why self-care isn’t working: You’re trying to add energy through external things when you’re actually draining yourself through micro-choices
✨ The solution: Learning to make micro-choices that energize instead of deplete you (and this often takes things OFF your plate)

They've tried the pros and cons lists, asking everyone for advice, and even traditional journaling, but they still feel frozen. These women are tired of feeling like they're living on autopilot, going through motions that look good on paper while feeling disconnected from their true desires.
They want to be more present with their families & feel more fulfilled in their careers. They're craving the confidence to trust themselves again and make decisions that actually align with who they're becoming rather than who they've been. They're ready for a simple, practical & sustainable method that cuts through their mental chatter + helps them access & trust their inner voice.
