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 handle it all — the business, the home, the emotions, the logistics — and still feel like admitting “this is hard” means you’re weak.
But what if saying “this is hard” is actually the first sign of strength?
In this 5-minute journaling episode, I share a story about meeting another woman who was doing it all — and realizing I couldn’t see my own load until I saw hers. Together, we’ll journal through the hidden pressure successful women carry and what happens when we finally tell the truth about it.
Strategic Journal Prompts:
- What’s currently on your plate that you haven’t fully acknowledged or spoken out loud?
- What story are you telling yourself about why this should or shouldn’t feel hard?
- What are you afraid would happen if you fully acknowledged how much you’re carrying?
- Where did you learn that you have to carry everything silently?
If you journal through this one, DM me on Instagram (samantha.s.says) or email me ([email protected]) and tell me what came up for you — I love hearing what these prompts unlock for you.
