163. Journal with Me: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone & Closer to Your Goals

Ready to journal through WHY you're not taking action on your goals you SAY you want to achieve? This episode is a follow-up to Tuesday's conversation about networking for introverts (one of MY goals!).

I'm sharing the breakthrough moment that changed everything for me—and three journal prompts to help you stop using "responsibility" as an excuse to stay small.

What we're exploring:

  • Why I avoided networking for 11 months (even though it was my biggest goal)
  • The FOMO revelation that was keeping me stuck at home
  • How "being a good mom" was actually my protective pattern
  • Three prompts to uncover what's really behind your comfort zone

An A-HA moment I had on the episode: Your comfort zone isn't about being comfortable—it's about avoiding the fear of being selfish or letting others down. Let that sink in & apply it to your life.

Resources mentioned:

Next steps: Download the Calm Mind Blueprint if you want to start taking confident action peacefully—because stepping outside your comfort zone doesn't have to mean hustling your way through it (and burning out).

About the Podcast

Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing
Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing
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.
