About This Podcast

Journal Entries is the podcast for ambitious women in business and leadership who want to stop bringing their work stress home. Host Samantha Hawley, MBA and Clarity Coach, specializes in the ripple effect — how your internal state at work directly impacts your patience, presence, and peace at home with your family. If you're making $100k+ but find yourself snapping at your kids after a tough workday, overthinking during bedtime, or feeling like you can't turn off "boss mode" — this podcast will help you master the transition from boardroom to living room. Because success shouldn't cost you your sanity or your family connection.
