72. How To Make Your Excuses Effective

When we act irrationally and make moments “bigger than they are/have to be” or simply try to explain ourselves…a comeback is often “that’s just an excuse”.

What if they weren’t “excuses”? What if we allowed ourselves to feel?

Journal Prompts:

-What’s happening?

-How does it feel?

-If you allowed yourself to be petty, have excuses, or just say what you want to say no matter how valid it may seem, what would it be?

-Now that the air is clear…take a deep breath and think through what it is that you actually want to have happen from this particular situation?

-What will help you get there?

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.
