108. Breaking Free From Your All-or-Nothing Mindset: Why You're Sabotaging Your 2025 Goals (& The Fix)

🚨If you've already "failed" at your 2025 goals (or haven't even set them because you're tired of the cycle), this episode is FOR YOU.

Remember when I almost missed out on precious bounce house moments with my son because I was stuck in "work mode"? That wake-up call showed me how all-or-nothing thinking doesn't just affect our goals - it steals our JOY. And I refuse to let that happen to you!

Chapters:

[1:42] Understanding the All-or-Nothing Mindset

[3:08] Signs that you have the All-or-Nothing Mindset

[8:00] The impact of black-and-white thinking

[14:37] Breaking free from the cycle

[18:58] Journal prompts for self-reflection

In this powerful (but quick!) episode, you'll discover:

  • The sneaky way all-or-nothing thinking is keeping you stuck in overstimulated mom-mode
  • Why "perfect planning" leads to self-sabotage (& what to do instead)
  • How to break free from the "I'll start Monday" cycle
  • A simple mindset shift that changed EVERYTHING for my private clients
  • The #1 journaling technique (with writing prompts) to make progress without the pressure or perfectionism

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.
