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.

Beyond Awareness (formerly Journal Entries) is for successful women in leadership and business who know exactly what they need to do but can’t make themselves do it.
You know you need to prioritize yourself, delegate more, set boundaries, stop bringing work home. You’ve tried therapy, coaching, retreats. You know the solution – but you either can’t follow through, or when you DO, it doesn’t stick.
Host Samantha Hawley helps business owners and executives earning $100k+ excavate the root beliefs underneath the execution gap. Why do you keep not doing the thing? Why doesn’t it feel better when you do? Using strategic journaling and emotional excavation, we go beyond awareness into why you’re actually stuck in the pattern.
This isn’t about more tactics or tips. This is about understanding why awareness isn’t enough and what actually needs to shift for you to change.
You’ll hear about: decision fatigue, why you can’t prioritize yourself, nervous system regulation, being present with your kids, root cause of overwhelm, why boundaries don’t stick, self-sabotage patterns, and how your internal state impacts everything.
Perfect for: Female CFOs, VPs, directors, executives, business owners, and women in leadership who are tired of knowing what’s wrong but not being able to change it.
You know what’s wrong — so why hasn’t anything changed?
Why do you keep thinking, “I’m so aware of this… shouldn’t that be enough by now?”
You’ve named the pattern a hundred times. Burnout. Overwhelm. Autopilot. You’ve tried fixing it (therapy, routines, tools, discipline) and somehow you still end up right back here. Knowing isn’t the problem anymore. It’s the part that comes after.
In this episode, we sit in that frustrating gap between awareness and actual change. Not to judge it or rush past it — but to understand what’s really keeping you stuck. This is about loosening the anchor underneath the pattern, not adding another thing to your to-do list.
You’ll be guided to reflect on:
- Why insight alone hasn’t created the shift you expected
- The hidden belief that keeps stress and busyness feeling “safer”
- How solutions can fail when the root is left untouched
- What it looks like to go beyond awareness and into real change
By the end, you won’t feel like you need to try harder or do more. You’ll feel steadier, clearer, and less at war with yourself — with a new way to approach change that actually sticks.
