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 keep telling yourself this is just who I am. It sounds true. Being messy. Always late. Bad with money. The one who doesn’t follow through. You’ve said it enough times that it feels settled, like something you don’t question anymore. But there’s still a part of you that doesn’t fully agree.
Those labels didn’t come out of nowhere. Something happened. A season got hard. Someone said something. Or you repeated it enough times that it stuck. And at some point it helped you. It made things make sense. But now it feels limiting.
Today you’re not trying to fix yourself. You’re just looking at what you’ve been believing and asking if it’s actually true all of the time. Even finding one small moment where it isn’t starts to shift things.
This is for you if you’ve accepted a label about yourself that still stings a little.
Prompts to sit with:
- I’m just someone who………Write the first thing that comes up. Don’t overthink it. Go with the one that feels the strongest or the one you’ve quietly made peace with.
- Where did that label come from? Was it something someone said, a season where it felt true, or something you repeated until it became your identity. Just notice what comes up.
- Is there any evidence that this isn’t the full story. Think of one moment, one situation, or one area of your life that contradicts this label. Even if it feels small.
- Who would you be without this label? Not a completely different version of you. Just you without that story running in the background. How would you show up today or this week in a simple, real way.
You don’t need to change everything. Just start questioning what you’ve been calling true. That’s where it begins.
