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 can read all the books. Listen to all the podcasts. Know exactly what you should be doing and still find yourself doing the same thing.
That was one of my favorite parts of this conversation with Jenna D’Annunzio. We talked about what happens when awareness isn’t enough, and how the beliefs underneath our behavior can quietly keep us from taking the next step.
We also talked about the pressure so many women carry to keep doing, achieving and checking things off the list, and what changes when we make room for being too. Because the goal isn’t to stop doing. It’s to stop believing that doing more is the only way forward.
As you listen, notice where you might be saying “I know” while continuing to do the same thing.
Where am I saying I know what to do, but I’m not doing it?
What would change if taking care of myself was actually part of the plan instead of something I do when everything else is finished?
Where am I so focused on doing that I’ve forgotten how to be?
