Self.Styled.Life with Janelle Wehsack

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. I've lived and breathed strategy and especially strategic execution across my corporate career throughout the last three decades. Now, in both my corporate life and my coaching business, I'm watching AI become an incredible tool for building out strategies at record speed. But, creating a strategy and actually bringing it to l...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. A current client of mine, shared with us that in her previous role, she'd all but stopped speaking up. Not because she didn't have value to add, but because the environment had taught her that using her voice wouldn't take her anywhere, that it wasn't safe, and that she wouldn't be taken seriously. So she made a...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Recently started a new role? Starting a new one soon? Thinking about taking the leap into a new one? Landing a promotion, transitioning into a new career, starting up in a new organisation...all of these are a prime opportunity to set yourself up for success by starting strong. One of the biggest tips I can give when making a transition...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Have you heard about the messy middle? Maybe you've even experienced it? But what does it feel like to truly embrace this messy, transformation period? The messy middle is that murky, frustrating stretch between the spark of something new and the satisfaction of completing it. And it's not just for entrepreneurs and small busi...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. The current job market is not the same as what it used to be. We live and work in a world where we are in control of crafting careers that suit us, not just simply taking a role and sticking to the status quo. What this means though is that we can spend a lot of time doing the "should I stay, should I go" dance or jumping ship...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In this episode I am joined by friend and former colleague of mine, Nina Muhleisen. Nina is a big-picture thinker. She’s passionate about positive change and making our future a great place to live, work and play. Solving problems that matter is critical to this mission; it’s in finding the right method to get it done, and developing the...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. How do you feel about asking for a raise, dealing with a difficult stakeholder, speaking up in a meeting or setting a boundary at work? If your answer was something along the lines of "those conversations are so difficult, I never know what to say", then you're not alone. If you've listened to the podcast for a while...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. What behaviours block your success? And are they rooted in fear? Today, we’re talking about three fear-based behaviours that can block your success .  These sneaky little patterns can make it feel like no matter how much you achieve, you still don’t feel truly successful.  Maybe you hit a big career milestone, but instead of celebrating...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. In February this year, I celebrated 34 years of working at what was originally the Bendigo Building Society. If you had told baby Janelle that she would still be working with an iteration of the same organisation over three decades later...my brain may have exploded. But here I am.  Not only am I still here, but no matter how I measure...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Have you ever heard the African proverb, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together? It's a huge reminder of how essential it is to surround yourself with the right people if you want to achieve the success you desire. Your inner circle (or board of directors) is integral to your growth and will help you b...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. When I started this podcast I wondered how I'd find enough to talk about and whether anyone would find it interesting enough to listen. Well, nearly on year 4, so it seems that the idea of what I have to say not being interesting enough was nothing more than a story I was telling myself driven by my own fears. Thankfully, that was...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. We're back for 2025 and this year the podcast has more of what you've come to know and love. And if you're new here, welcome! I wanted to start this year off by talking about one of the cornerstones to your career and life success - confidence. For me, confidence isn’t about having all the answers or never making mistakes...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. I wouldn't necessarily describe this year as hard, but I would describe it as heavy. You may even know how I'm feeling. I've often found my jaw to be tighter than is desirable and my shoulders closer to my ears than I would like. So, even though there has been A LOT to celebrate this year both in my corporate work and in...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. As unbelievable as it might seem, we're so close to the end of 2024. If your year has been anything like mine, then it's been a big year, but I'll save my end of year wrap up until the next episode. What has happened this year that I want to talk about in this episode though, is the core belief of mine that the incredible...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Picture this. The holiday season is fast approaching. Your calendar is filled with deadlines, work events and social gatherings. Your planning, shopping, cooking and wrangling everyone together. Not to mention events for the kids as well. It's no wonder this season is often a time that I hear women feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, e...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. No matter the industry that you're in, if there's one quality you need for a successful career, it's resilience. Now, we're not necessarily born knowing how to bounce back in every situation, or perhaps somewhere along the way we lose that skill (because babies and toddler's are extraordinarily resilient), but j...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. "How come I can’t see what everyone else sees in me?" This is by far one of the most common questions that comes up in my coaching, and it relates to Imposter Syndrome. While the exact answer to this question might vary from person to person, the biggest, most common answer as to why women can't see their own magic is sim...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Enough: occurring in such quantity, quality, or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations. When I read that definition, the word that stood out for me was "expectations" because, as women, we seem to put really high expectations on ourselves, and then end up feeling like we always come up short. In today's ep...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Women want their voices and their messages to be heard. We know this, we talk about this, but we can't be heard if we're not prepared to sit in the discomfort of using our voices. Finding your voice will help you to advocate for yourself and others, and learning to stand up and speak will really do wonders for elevating you, y...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. Do you flinch when you hear power being related to you? Many women have a fraught relationship with power. We're not keen to claim it and we're excellent at giving it away. And yet, every woman I work with tells me they want to feel more empowered, so how do we bridge this gap? In today's episode - The Power Paradox - Are...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack You might be surprised to hear that I am quite the introvert (maybe you can relate?). Whilst I've taught myself to hold big spaces, and play big, I prefer small groups and need plenty of time alone to recharge my battery. This means that I'm very happy with self-paced, online learning (even as someone who attended Uni prior to...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack I'm always on the look out for new learnings and ways of thinking about things in my career and life, and recently I came across a new way of thinking about self-doubt. After some careful consideration, I decided that this was just too good to not share with you. Self-doubt itself makes a whole lot of sense when you think about the...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack This is a very exciting episode and a first for the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast. I am joined in this episode by friend and client of mine Blanca Guzmán Rodriguez. Blanca is a dynamic and results-driven professional with more than 20 years of experience in large corporate environments. She is known for helping individuals and organisations a...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack If you believe in growth, if that's something that is important to you then it only follows that you want your growth to continue. Sometimes our growth can be on the most incredible upward trajectory and we seem unstoppable when it comes to hitting our goals and taking things to the next level. Sometimes though we hit a plateau, and...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack Have you ever had inspiration come to you at an inconvenient time? Let me set the seen for you. It was a Friday night, I was in the middle of cooking dinner, it was the end of a big week and truthfully, I was feeling rather flat. I had just popped some diced onion into a hot pan and inspiration struck which had me racing to find a notebo...
