Journal Entries
Podcast Description:
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 or make that career move. 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.

Journal Entries is the podcast for ambitious women in business and leadership who want to stop bringing their work stress home.
Host Samantha Hawley, MBA and Clarity Coach, specializes in the ripple effect — how your internal state at work directly impacts your patience, presence, and peace at home with your family.
If you’re making $100k+ but find yourself snapping at your kids after a tough workday, overthinking during bedtime, or feeling like you can’t turn off “boss mode” — this podcast will help you master the transition from boardroom to living room. Because success shouldn’t cost you your sanity or your family connection.
You keep telling yourself you’ll rest after this project. After the busy season. After you get through this month.
But here’s what actually happens: you hit your breaking point, book a retreat or take a week off, feel temporarily better — and then you’re right back where you started. Overstimulated. Exhausted. Running on fumes again.
This episode pulls back the curtain on why we wait until we’re desperate to prioritize ourselves, and why those big drastic measures (the retreats, the content courses, the “I’m taking next month off” declarations) aren’t actually solving the problem. You’ll walk away understanding what’s really driving your overstimulation — and three practical ways to regulate your nervous system without needing to escape your life first.
Key Takeaways:
- Why retreats should enhance your life, not be a lifeline to revive you
- The question that reveals if you’re actually prioritizing yourself (or just decision fatigued)
- How to stop the cycle of “I’ll rest when…” and feel grounded in your actual everyday life
- Three tips to regulate your nervous system right now — no retreat required
You’ll stop waiting for permission to feel calm. And you’ll start trusting that you can feel less overstimulated without blowing up your schedule or booking a flight.
