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 tell yourself to slow down. You know rushing doesn’t feel good.
But somehow you’re still filling every spare minute, still leaving late, still carrying that tension into your mornings. You even catch the moment where you could start getting ready a bit earlier. And instead, you do one more thing.
I took myself through a real coaching session after noticing how much stress I’ve been holding and how often I’ve been rushing through simple, everyday moments.
Not because I don’t know what to do. But because something underneath it has been driving the pattern the whole time.
We get into the belief that makes stillness feel uncomfortable and productivity feel safer, even when it’s the very thing creating the stress. And why slowing down feels harder than it should, even when you want it.
If you’re aware of your patterns but still find yourself doing the opposite of what you want, this will hit.
