157. Journal With Me: 4 Ways You're Sabotaging Summer Joy (5-Min Prompts)

Is your summer not feeling how you imagined? You might be self-sabotaging without realizing it.

Ready to break free? The Energized Summer Challenge starts Monday - but registration closes THIS Friday, July 4th, for podcast listeners. Get details + join here → www.samanthapenkoff.com/energized-summer

In this 5-minute journaling session, I'll guide you through four specific sabotage patterns that might be stealing your summer joy: Hyper-Achiever, Perfectionist, Procrastinator, and Restless. You'll get targeted journal prompts to create awareness around these patterns - because awareness is what leads to those aha moments, simplifications, and real solutions.

Whether you're traveling this holiday weekend or at home, you can either journal through these prompts or simply think through them as I guide you.

What you'll discover:

  • Which of the 4 sabotage patterns you recognize in yourself
  • Specific ways these patterns show up during summer
  • How to start breaking free from the cycles that keep you overwhelmed

Perfect for: Working moms, ambitious women, anyone feeling like summer is more stressful than restful
