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.... more

Latest Episodes

You can wake up with the best intentions, move through your day doing all the "right" things, and still find yourself completely wiped out before dinner.

For a long time, I thought that meant I was carrying too much. Lately, I've been seeing it diff... more

One of the hardest parts about carrying a full mental load is that finishing everything rarely feels the way you imagined it would. The emails are sent. The laundry is folded. The boxes are checked. Yet your mind is already racing toward the next thi... more

Your to do list gets shorter, but something still feels heavy. The work gets done. The laundry gets folded. Everyone else seems taken care of, yet your body never really settles.

Maybe what you're craving isn't another self care routine. Maybe you j... more

    Really enjoy the prompts. I appreciate the guidance to help me get curious about what is usually on auto pilot. And these feel like a kind way to do self inquiry. Thanks!

  • My Newest Obsession

    I’m so glad I found this podcast. I started with an episode full of resonance, as Samantha talked about embracing who she is - that’s the path I’m on as well. Next thing I knew, I was binging episodes and journaling as well! I journal daily and her prompts are so intentional. I’ve been a high-achieving woman my entire life and each episode speaks to me on a soul level. It feels very aligned.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

260. The Real Reason You Can't Make the Change You Already Know You Need
Q: How do you trust yourself when making bold moves?
Trust comes from listening to the body, using it as a compass, recognizing intuitive yeses and noes, and practicing curiosity to move forward even when logic isn't clear.
260. The Real Reason You Can't Make the Change You Already Know You Need
Q: How do you coach someone to find what they actually want when they're unsure?
Start with identifying what you don't want, then discover the feeling you want in your life (e.g., white space), which guides calendar choices and decisions to support that feeling.
260. The Real Reason You Can't Make the Change You Already Know You Need
Q: What was the first thing you did internally to start the shift?
She confronted money fears, made difficult phone calls to creditors, and sought support, which created a soft landing and built confidence to continue making tough changes.
260. The Real Reason You Can't Make the Change You Already Know You Need
Q: How did you know the solution wasn't another new hire, and instead you needed to go inward?
She realized external fixes wouldn't resolve the deeper patterns; the real change began with facing unpleasant truths, journaling, and choosing to heal personal drivers like people-pleasing and insecurity before rebuilding the business.
250. From People Pleasing and Perfectionism to Self-Trust: What Ambitious Women Need to Know
Q: How do you help women hold steady with discomfort when asserting themselves?
Explain the nervous system basis for social belonging, practice small acts of disagreement, and gradually take bigger steps to prove to the nervous system that voicing needs is safe.
