In this heartfelt episode, I share my journey of feeling emotionally triggered daily as a single parent. Join me as I explore the common struggles of parenting, the emotional toll it takes, and my transformative approach to feeling less reactive and more present.

Key Points Discussed:

  • Understanding Triggers:

    • Personal experiences with daily parenting challenges.
    • Examples of common triggers such as meltdowns, household chaos, and feelings of overwhelm.

  • The Emotional Rollercoaster:

    • Insight into living in a heightened emotional state and the difficulty of managing feelings.
    • Acknowledging my ability to stay calm externally while feeling internally drained.

  • Shifting Perspectives:

    • The realization that it's not about eliminating feelings of being triggered.
    • The importance of validating emotions instead of suppressing them.

  • Steps to Change:

    • Why the first step to transformation is recognizing and accepting your feelings.
    • Discussion of alternative changes that can affect sensitivity and emotional reactions over time.

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.
