How is self-sabotage holding you back in life and motherhood? In this episode, Samantha Hawley, a journal expert and mom who has navigated through significant life transitions, explores how self-sabotage shows up for mothers and the impacts it can have on our lives. Plus, she shares how journaling can help us become aware of our saboteurs and learn to identify and disrupt these patterns to live more fulfilled lives.

In the episode, Samantha and I talk about:

• What self-sabotage looks like in motherhood

A little about our guest:
Samantha Hawley is a Journal Expert who has experienced many life transitions that accompany big emotions. Everything from moving 8 times in 10 years, going through pregnancy & new mom life, getting divorced when her son was 9 months old, and feeling complacent and unfulfilled in her Corporate job. She didn't feel safe opening up about her big feelings anywhere except her journal. A beautiful thing transpired after she began writing: She discovered her voice, elevated her self worth & started living her life more intentionally instead of people pleasing and walking on eggshells. Now, she teaches her clients how to create the same level of awareness, inner peace & 'untethered joy' in their own lives through journaling & group coaching. Samantha lives in Western New York, graduated with her MBA & lives with her 4 year old son, Griffin & cats, Leopold & Koa.
