About this episode

Samantha Hawley reflects on her personal journey of rediscovering herself after a year away from social media, focusing on creativity and intuition.

Constant input from social media, business advice, trends, and other people’s opinions can slowly pull you away from yourself without you even realizing it.

I felt more creative again. Less distracted. More connected to my intuition. More intentional with how I spend my time, energy, and attention. This episode is a personal reflection on the shifts that happened when I stopped constantly consuming and started paying attention to what actually felt good, calming, aligned, and true for me. I talk about rediscovering creativity through art, changing my relationship with social media, making decisions from intuition instead of logic alone, investing in myself differently, and how much my identity has shifted over the past year.
