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 thinking about making the change. Setting the boundary. Starting the thing. Having the hard conversation. But somehow, you keep ending up back in the same place.
Not because you don’t care. Because some part of your current life still feels safer than the unknown.
This episode is an invitation to stop overthinking and start getting honest about what your comfort zone is protecting you from.
Journal prompts:
- What is the one thing you keep circling back to but haven’t fully committed to yet? What is it that you want to feel, create, or do?
- If you fully committed to that decision or vision, what are you afraid of? What do you think you’d be risking?
- If you just stayed where you are, claiming it might get easier or a sign will come, what feels safe and comfy cozy about right now?
The journaling prompts in this session will help you uncover what you’ve been avoiding, what you’re afraid could happen if you actually moved forward, and what staying where you are has been giving you emotionally.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t making the change. It’s admitting that a part of you still feels safe staying the same.
