Self.Styled.Life with Janelle Wehsack

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   The words we use (and language in general) have an incredible ability to put us in the right frame of mind to move forward and expand or to limit us. Out of everyone you spend time with, the one you spend the most time with is yourself, which means the narrative that you create and the words you choose are potentially more important th...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   For whatever reason, we decide that we can only have one thing at a time. A fulfilling career or a nurtured family. A healthy lifestyle or a fun lifestyle. Freedom or a fabulous relationship. A dream lifestyle or money in the bank. It’s like we can’t imagine being able to have all of our desires, so we tell ourselves we have to choose....

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   In the last episode I spoke about intentionality and this episode is a bit of a part 2 to that one because I know that there are so many areas of your life that it's worth getting intentional about. In today's episode - WHERE you might want to get intentional in your life - we'll be chatting about: Areas of your life tha...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   Many of us live our lives on auto-pilot. It's a long way from the conscious, curated, memorable and fulfilled lives that we would love to be living. I first became really tapped into the idea of living with more intention and less auto-pilot years ago after we'd been travelling. After being in France and coming back to Melbou...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   I have lots of things sorted... and then there's everything else. The everything else is why I'll continue working with coaches and mentors. Back in 2018 in my corporate job, I was running the teams responsible for implementing projects into businesses, and the whole organisation was undergoing a large scale transformation, a...

Jill has had a long and diverse career in industries such as mining, finance, interior and academia 😲 before launching Aromatherapy Dispensary. Jill and I first connected over our mutual love of France back...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   Today I want to look at a story that seems a bit universal at the moment given how many women seem to be telling it to themselves And this story is that if they ‘haven’t done something by now, it’s because they can’t do it’. On one level it makes sense, right? If you’ve never done something before, it can seem impossible and it’s easy...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   I'm back with one of my favourite types of episodes and that's answering a listener question. When I was first asked about how my love of France shaped me as a leader, my first thought was 'But I don’t think it has. My love of France is quite separate from my coaching or corporate work’.  However, years of being coached...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   I'm about to celebrate my 32nd year of working in a corporate environment 🎉 Usually the anniversary of when I started work inspires me to share the lessons I’ve learned over the years or my strategies for thriving in corporate. This year though, I’m feeling compelled to defend our choice to work in corporate. Lately I've bee...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. This is a little impromptu mini episode that I wanted to share after all of the interest around what I include in my own success criteria. I'm hoping that by sharing how I measure my own success I can help to inspire you to play with setting your own success criteria. In this episode we'll cover the importance of determining y...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   Today, I want to spotlight five areas where we can uplevel our leadership skills in 2023.  I’m certain that for some of these areas, you’ll have them well covered, but I know as I run through these, there will be some that stand out as being an area where you know it’s time for you to grow.  There’s no need to overthink this - just go...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   This episode is all about words of the year. Way back at the start of 2022, I shared my word of the year,  limitless. Back when I shared this, so many of you wanted to learn more about what a word of the year is and how you select one. I realised then that selecting a word for the year is something that is big in coaching and personal...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   This is our final episode for 2022, and a round out to what has been an incredible season one of the podcast. I wanted to make sure that I got these final thoughts for the year into your ears ASAP so that you had time to sit with the idea over the holiday season. Rather than tease this out, let me tell you now that if you want to shine...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   This short sharp coaching episode is all about people-pleasing and how it can hold us back in our leadership journeys. If you are here, I know that bringing out the best in your team is deeply important to you, but I also know that there's a good chance that you're not always clear on how to go about that. There are all sorts...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack   In this episode, I am talking about something that I know many of you are looking for support on - how you can get comfortable with conflict. We humans are clever things - we'll go to great lengths to avoid risk, and conflict is one of the seven psychological risks, so it makes sense that many of my clients in all sorts of industr...

Today’s episode was never supposed to be an episode at all. When I first started thinking about this topic, I thought it was going to be a post for Distant Francophile, my blog about France and all things related to French culture, food, travel and style. I had realised while we were planning our most recent trip to France that I’m just more organised and effective when I have a holiday on the hor...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack. As I'm sure you've guessed from this episode title, today we're digging into the topic of curation.  If you’ve listened into this podcast for any time at all, you’ll know that my self-styled life framework focuses on clarity, mindset and action. And when I talk about clarity, it’s really about getting clear on what you wa...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack Today’s episode is all about burnout. We talk about how to recognise that you might be burned out and what to do if you are.  Because often, when people think of burnout, they imagine it involves some spectacular sort of fiery crash. Like a plane or star falling from the sky or how we might read about an influencer crashing and burning i...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In today’s episode I'm answering a listener request all about what does corporate style look like in 2022!  It’s such a good question isn’t it, especially now that some of us are able to head back into our corporate offices? Having said that, it’s worth noting that corporate style still needs to work on video, at least here in Austr...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In today’s episode we talk about pre-empting - An emerging protective behaviour you need to be aware of and why it's so important.  My favourite personal example of pre-empting occurred last year, in 2021. I knew I wanted to spend more time in my coaching practice. But I also wanted to keep working in my transformation role for a la...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In today’s episode we talk about the number one reason you feel like a fraud and what to do about it. You have no idea how often the women I work with tell me they feel like a fraud. Or they’ll reference their imposter syndrome. Or they’ll be a little less direct with their language and say things like ‘I was probably the only option’ or...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In today’s episode we talk about how you can take care of yourself.  It almost always breaks my heart when I ask women how they take care of themselves and they answer with words like ‘Not very well’ or ‘I don’t’ or ‘I’ve let myself go’.  We can’t fill from an empty cup and if we want to show up fully to our careers, relationships, kids,...

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In this episode, Terri Connellan and I dive deep into the topics of  wholehearted self-leadership and transitions.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack In today’s episode we talk about how well do you know yourself and three of my favourite tools to help you shine.  Having an idea of how you’re wired and what your preferences are is fundamental to self-styling your life. You see, whilst we like to think we can control others through our words, actions and behaviours, the truth is the on...

All of these humans can be leveraged to help you take your career from where you are now to where you want to go.
