Self.Styled.Life with Janelle Wehsack

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

You get into the meeting feeling prepared, and you still say nothing.

You've done the reading, maybe attended a course or two, you've read the plans, the theories, you know what needs to happen, yet when your moment arrives everything you know goes and stands in the corner and you're left saying absolutely nothing...again.

I was recently reading through a batch of intake forms for the Limitless Experience and I noticed something that stopped me in my tracks. What I read time and time again that they wanted most out of Limitless was to be able to say what they think in the big meetings without their own doubt getting there first, and editing it down to something smaller. 

They wanted to be able to speak in a way that was considered strategic.

So why are these incredibly capable, confident women still saying nothing when it matters most? Why do you still say nothing?

In this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast we're diving into the 3 reasons you find yourself stopped in your tracks, because once you can see the reason, you stop treating it like it's something that only you have a problem with. 

You don't need to "try harder" - you need to address the real issues.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

Have you noticed that just about everyone around you is exhausted at the moment? 

Your colleagues, your friends, the women in your team, overwhelm seems to be doing the rounds, and the more capable you are, the more of it seems to land on your desk. 

So, if you're the woman who's fine on paper, holding a lot together at work and at home, and privately wondering how long she can keep this pace up, this episode is for you.

I don't think you need a reset or another holiday or even a new job. I think you need 3 much smaller decisions, and I want to walk you through all of them - Curate, Delegate, and Iterate.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

You took the leave.

You slept in.

You saw a few people.

You drank the good coffee...

...and for about 10 days you felt close to normal. 

Then you went back to work, and by about the Wednesday of that first week, you felt exactly the same as you did before you left. 

And if that has happened once or twice or every single time you've taken leave for the last 3 years, then stay with me because I don't think you're doing rest wrong. I think you might be resting for the wrong problem. 

In this episode, I'm sharing why I think you're resting for the wrong reason, the two types of burnout that I see in my clients and the 2 simple questions to ask to know the difference. And then, of course, how you can get started on managing your type of burnout effectively.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

What do you do if you can't do the thing you want to do?

If the timing just doesn't work for that course, program, retreat, conference or friend's weekend away, what do you do?

For most of my life I've done nothing, and you probably haven't done anything either. We just "accept" that we can't do it, and move on.

But there's a third option to "yes" or "no" when it comes to these things - you build your own version.

Now, I won't lie and tell you that it's going to be the exact same, but not as good as the ideal is a completely different proposition from not worth doing at all.

In this episode, I'm sharing how you can get 70% of the way there and achieve the underlying reason you wanted it in the first place in a way that works for you.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

Imagine going to your GP because something isn't right. You describe your symptoms, they listen very carefully, they nod, and then they say, yes, you need more wellness, and then they show you out. You'd be livid, wouldn't you? 

Which wellness? How much wellness? Wellness starting when? And how would you even know if it was working? You wouldn't accept that from a professional, and nor should you. 

And yet, somebody has almost certainly told you that you need more presence. Or more gravitas, or more executive edge, or whatever. And then they've shown you out. 

And that's what this episode is about. I'm not going to tell you to stand up straighter or lower your voice because that isn't it, and I suspect you already know that. We're going to work out what that feedback is genuinely pointing at, and then I'm going to give you 5 ways to build the real thing.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

Have you ever been told to just be more confident? In a review, by a well-meaning boss, by every article you've ever skimmed. It's advice about as useful as being told to just be taller.

You've walked out of a meeting knowing you had more to offer than you actually showed. And you've listened to an inner critic that never once argues with your track record - it just changes the subject. Always the next thing.

Your memory is not a fair witness to your own capability. Left to its own devices, it will always go against you.

Confidence is not a feeling you wait around for. It's a conclusion you draw from evidence.

In this episode, I'm introducing you to the evidence file - a 10-minute tool that puts your proof somewhere you can actually see it and use it.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

What would happen if you stopped being afraid of everything that might go wrong in your career and started getting excited for everything that could go right?

You are good at your job, you're respected, you're experienced, you've got a career behind you that honestly, most people would be very, very proud of. 

And yet when you really think about it, did you choose any of it or did it just sort of happen to you?

Did an offer come along so you took it? A new role opened up so you stepped into it? Someone tapped you on the should so you said yes?

And this probably happens more often than you realise, and then you're 10 years into a career that isn't actually what you wanted, but you took it because you were afraid of what might go wrong if you didn't?

In this episode I've got a story for you about what just might happen if you start to back yourself, get clear on what you want and go after it.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

You can back everyone else - your team, your friends, the colleague who comes to you in a panic at 4pm you talk her off the ledge.

You're everyone's biggest cheerleader, so why on earth can't you back yourself? 

In this episode we're going to pull apart the actual reasons that backing yourself is so hard. There are four of them and not one of them has anything to do with how capable you are.

You've already proven you're capable. You do hard things every single day. The reason it's so hard is that you are taught slowly and thoroughly to look everywhere except inwards for the final word on whether you're any good.

Once you see them, you can't unsee them, which is exactly the point.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

The message in this episode is pretty clear: People-pleasing and power can't co-exist.

If you want to step into your power.

If you want a seat at the table.

If you want the bigger role, the authority you've earned, the promotion.

But you also really need everyone to like you, to not be disappointed in you.

That is the thing that's holding you back.

In this episode we're discussing just how much people-pleasing and power are incompatible (and I'm not talking just a little bit of tension) and how you can park that protective behaviour for good.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I'm almost positive you've been asked this or some version of it before, but I am here to officially retire that question.

In a world where AI is reshaping entire industries, restructures are happening at pace, and the role that you're aiming for today might look completely different by the time you get there, a rigid five year plan is not a strategy either. It's a comfort blanket. 

So what are the women who are crushing it right now doing if they're not making 5 years plans?

They are getting to know themselves so deeply that they know what they want right now, and who have the confidence, tools and deep self-knowing to move deliberately even when the landscape keeps shifting.

In this episode I want to show you the way that works for incredible women just like you, that isn't setting a plan for the future, but instead a clear, practical shift from operating on autopilot and hoping things get better to knowing exactly what you want and backing yourself to go after it.

That's what we're building in this episode and I hope you'll join me.
