Janelle Wehsack
Hosted by Janelle Wehsack, a writer, speaker and certified life & style coach who also happens to have over 30 years experience in corporate, Self Styled Life is designed to support professional women to aim high in their career and create a life that’s way beyond just ‘fine’. In these episodes, Janelle shares the concepts, tools and techniques to help you get clear and confident about the career and life you want, dance with your self-doubt and take the next step toward your dreams and goals.
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.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
My clients are absolutely on fire right now. New roles, promotions, big corporate opportunities landing seemingly out of nowhere.
Here's what I need you to understand about every single one of these women.
They're not women who got lucky or who were simply waiting for the stars to align, and then the universe finally showed up on time.
They are women who have been doing specific things, quietly, consistently, sometimes very uncomfortably, and the results are showing up because of that.
Five things are consistent across all of them. And that's what today's episode is all about.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
A leader once described me as a "fixer". Someone they could throw a difficult problem at and trust it would get solved.
He was right. I was that person. I'd spent years with my head down, working hard, being reliable and capable.
Looking back, it was the moment the belief I had been operating on started to show its limits. The belief that good work done consistently and excellently would eventually be enough on its own. It was not and it still isn't.
In this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast I want to make you aware of the outdated strategy that many women are working with and how to become known for your thinking instead.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Today we are talking about the very specific, very real, very physical feeling of dread that kicks in when you hear the word "restructure", or when you read yet another headline about AI replacing jobs, or when you get passed over for a promotion, role or project.
And the career uncertainty and the dread that can come with it is VERY real.
I keep seeing the same pattern over and over again in my coaching practice, in my corporate life, and in my DMs. Incredibly capable, experienced, and hard working women who are letting fear drive decisions that deserve to be driven by clarity.
In this episode we're going to talk about why that happens, what is actually going on underneath it, and most importantly, what you can do about it. Because there is absolutely something that you can do about it.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Despite the more common saying "new levels, new devils" I've always found a different version to be true.
"New levels, old devils."
When I recorded this episode I had just finished a big tick off my Live List. Despite this having been a goal of mine for some time, despite feeling confident walking in, not being nervous in the lead up, and not comparing myself to other people, by the time I walked out, by brain was whipping out all sorts of unhelpful stories.
And honestly, they were all things that I have heard many, many times before. There was nothing new about them, despite feeling like I was stepping into a new level.
In this episode I'm getting a little bit more vulnerable than usual and talking about what really happens when you reach that next level, and how you'll be able to tell that you've reached an extraordinary level of growth.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Career advice is supposed to help, right? That's the whole point.
But after years of coaching corporate professionals I've noticed that some of the most popular, most repeated, and most "common sense" career advice out there is actually terrible.
And the worst part? There's a good chance that you're following some or all of this advice right now. We've been so conditioned to follow the "right" advice, we've stopped asking ourselves if it's the right advice for us!
In this episode I'm talking about 3 really common pieces of career advice that sound great, but are actually keeping you stuck, and what to do instead.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Does your promotion make you feel like a fraud? You know that promotion that you worked really hard, and before you got it you knew you deserved it, but now, you kind of wish you could take it all back?
You didn't work that hard, sacrifice that much, and prove yourself over and over again just to finally get the promotion and then spend every day terrified that someone's going to figure out that you don't belong there
In this episode we're talking about what's really going on in your brain that's making you feel like you're an imposter (and I can assure you, you're not the only one), and more importantly, the 6 steps that will stop you feeling like a fraud in your new role.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
I sent an email a week or so ago about time being stolen in polite three minute chunks. And the replies were the kind of ones where you can almost hear people exhaling through the screen.
So if that email was the headline, then this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast is the full story.
If you've been feeling stretched thin or you are doing that thing where you look at your calendar and think, how is it already Thursday? Then this episode is for you.
In this episode we're covering:
- The protective behaviours that are quietly and sneakily stealing your time away
- Why time disappears as self-trust drops
- The simple flow you can walk through when you catch yourself leaking time through a protective behaviour: Name it, decode it, choose again
- Why it's time to ask yourself What can I put down today?
Take a breath, unclench your jaw, and let's get into it.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Motivation is gorgeous...
And a little flaky.
It's not something I would recommend you build your life on, especially if you're a high achieving woman with a full life.
So if motivation isn't the thing to build your goals and next steps around this year, what is?
This is where momentum comes in.
Momentum is what happens when you take a small step in the right direction often enough that it starts to feel like who you are.
In this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast, I'm sharing why I want you to choose momentum over motivation, a simple 5 step loop to help you move forward even when your plate is full, and some actionable tips to start playing with momentum this week.

"I did not realise how much this year demanded of me"
Does that sound like how you're feeling right now? It's often not until we allow ourselves the space to rest, that we realise how much we have been carrying, and that we have come quite along way in 12 months.
What your year demanded from you will look different from everyone else. They may have been big changes that you needed to adapt to, or they may have been slow, steady changes that gradually reshaped you.
No matter how much the year demanded from you though, I want you to remember that it also revealed something in you.
In this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast, I'm giving you the space and guidance to reflect on the moments where you were braver than you realised, what you learned about yourself, and what supported you.

Are you able to allow yourself to want what you want without overthinking it?
Perhaps you covered all the steps to get clear on what you want only to find that you're telling yourself stories of how your desires aren't strategic enough, realistic enough, convenient enough, or approved by the people around them.
All this overthinking and self-doubt leads to confusion, yet, from all the women I've spoken to and coached over the years, it's not confusion, but rather conditioning.
In episode 103 we're exploring:
- How overthinking often shows up when there is something that you want but haven't yet given yourself permission to claim it.
- Why so many women minimise their desires even when they've built remarkable careers and lives.
- 3 gentle shifts that help you reconnect with what you actually want without shutting it down

I know that working out what you want and trusting yourself to go after it is one of the biggest things that keeps the women in this community up at night.
I also know that you absolutely can figure it out.
You might just need to give yourself permission to pause for long enough to listen to yourself.
Practically speaking, you may also need a tool to help focus your thoughts to gain clarity in the areas of your life that are important to you.
In this episode we're exploring why now is the perfect time to get clear on what you want in 2026 (and not in the middle of the holiday rush), my favourite exercise for building clarity and reducing the overwhelm, and why you absolutely do not need to be doing this all on your own.

And remember, clarity starts with questions and not answers.

Confidence isn't a personality trait.
And it's not something you magically wake up with one morning.
Confidence is about self-trust. The belief that you can navigate whatever comes your way, even if it's uncertain or new.
If you've ever thought "I should have more confidence by now" then this episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast is for you.
In this episode we're exploring why you don't feel more confident by now, why confident women do in fact doubt themselves, four steps you can take to practice confidence, and what you can do THIS week to start living confidently on your own terms.

You know that I am all about celebrating!
And this week we am celebrating 100 episodes of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast 🎉
It’s a little hard to believe that we made it to 100 episodes.
When I first started this show, I had no idea where it would take us. I knew I wanted to create something supportive, but I had no idea if anyone would listen or if I'd be able to sustain the rhythm.
And now, thousands of downloads later, I am just so grateful to everyone that has tuned in. Whether you listen occasionally, or regularly, whether you’ve shared an episode with a friend, sent me a DM, asked a question or simply just enjoy listening, know that I am incredibly grateful.
Come and celebrate with me in episode 100 of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE podcast where I share with you the top episodes (if you’re a new listener, this is for you!), as well as a visualisation exercise as my gift to you for being on this journey with me.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Today I want to talk about the secret to thriving in workplace chaos, because workplaces tend to cycle through periods of chaos more than we'd like.
The chaos could come from restructuring, a change of leadership, new team members, conflicting priorities...or perhaps there's just simply a lack of structure.
The women I coach talk to me about these sorts of situations all of the time. And often it can feel like you're stuck waiting for someone else to swoop in, create the structure and get things back on track again. But here's the truth, team.
That someone might not arrive anytime soon.
Tune into this week's episode, The Secret To Thriving In Workplace Chaos (It’s Not What You Think), to hear the 6 steps I recommend taking when your workplace is feeling chaotic to bring some clarity and momentum back to your work.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Years ago, I was offered a leadership opportunity that felt bigger than anything I'd done up to that point, and it was way bigger. I was plucked from obscurity, and felt anything but ready.
Every single part of me wanted more proof, more experience, more certainty that I'd actually be able to do the job. But the opportunity wasn't going to sit around waiting for me to feel comfortable. So I said yes.
Now, in those early weeks, there were plenty of moments where my inner critic was absolutely squealing at me. But along the way I built the very capability I thought I needed before I could begin. And that's the thing. Readiness doesn't arrive first. It's something that we develop through doing.
Tune into this week's episode, Want A Game-Changing Move? Say Yes Before You Feel Ready, to explore why we hold ourselves back waiting to be ready, what actually happens when we move before we feel prepared and I'll share some tools that can help you make those bold moves with way more confidence.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
One of the things that comes up in my coaching quite often, is that the dreams that we gave up on years ago are often still important to us.
And if that's the case, then why did we give up on them in the first place?
Mostly, this boils down to self imposed deadlines, that have come and gone.
Tune into this week's episode, Dreams Don't Need Deadlines, I'm sharing a personal dream that I'm ticking off my Live List that's been years in the making, why I don't think deadlines are always necessary for your dreams, and 3 actions you can take to stay motivated towards your dreams when you're playing the long game.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Wellbeing isn't a reward for getting through your to-do list.
It's also not a luxury.
Your wellbeing is the foundation.
Without YOU being in good shape, the whole plan falls apart. It doesn't really matter what the plan is. Whether it's climbing the corporate ladder, finishing a big project at work with your team or starting your own business. If your plan requires you, then your wellbeing is foundational.
Tune into this week's episode, Protect Your Wellbeing Like It's Part Of The Project Plan, we're going to unpack exactly what wellbeing is, why it matters so much, and how you can start protecting your wellbeing like your budgets, deliverables and deadlines right now.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
What's something that tends to visit us in waves?
It doesn't show up just once in our life and then never again, but it also doesn't stick around forever.
When it's with us though, even the simplest tasks can feel impossible, we can be stretched to our breaking point, everything feels urgent, and the smallest inconvenience just might be the tipping point.
I'm talking about overwhelm of course.
Tune into this week's episode, Feeling All Of 2025? What To Do When Things Feel Like Too Much to join me in unpacking what overwhelm really is, where it comes from, what it's trying to tell you (overwhelm does have a message for you) and the gentle, doable ways to shift out of it without needing to clear your schedule.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
Perfectionism offers us the illusion of safety.
If I get this right, no one can criticise me.
If I tick every box, they'll never know I'm not good enough.
If I'm perfect, they'll love me.
This was me for a long time. Perfectionism was my safety blanket. It has been my most limiting protective behaviour.
I've worked on it for years. I thought I was aware of it, across it and managing it.
Only to discover that that wasn't the case at all.
Tune into this week's episode, Why Perfectionism Keeps You Stuck (And 4 Tools That Helped Me Overcome It) to hear how I discovered that perfectionism was still running rampant in my life. even after I thought I had overcome it, and the 4 tools you can steal that helped me to overcome perfectionism in my career and personal life.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
I want to introduce, possibly a new definition of confidence to you.
That is: Confidence is a quiet, inner knowledge that you are capable.
I've come to learn that confidence isn't about being the loudest person in the room, perfection, or having all the answers.
It's about knowing deep down that you'll figure it out. That you can feel fear or self-doubt and still take action.
And confidence is really the one thing that has underpinned every transformation that I've witnessed, including my own.
Tune into this week's episode, What If You Already Had Enough Confidence? to hear the four things that I've come to know about confidence and the one question I invite you to ask yourself to start uncovering the confidence that is already within you.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
What if the real goal, the true purpose of a transformation journey was to create more joy, peace, ease and wellbeing in your life rather than you becoming more productive, more successful, or more polished?
That's the question I wanted to explore this week.
Why? Because as women, we often approach transformation with the mindset that something is broken or wrong with them. But when we dig a little deeper, what they're actually looking for isn't' to fix who they are, but to create joy.
It's a different orientation to life and leadership, but what if we embraced who we are and simply built from there?
Tune into this week's episode What If Joy Was the Goal? A Different Way To Think About Transformation where we discuss:
❓ What happens if we start thinking about using the tools of transformation to expand our possibilities, rather than approaching transformation with a 'let's fix that' mindset
🛠️ Why transformation isn't about fixing something that's broken
🙏 The 6 transformation elements that create joy, peace of mind and ease
📅 Practical things you can do this week to start a transformation that delivers on joy, peace and ease.

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 life, they are two completely different skill sets.
We've entered an era where strategy generation can be automated, efficient and optimised. But execution is still beautifully, messily, wonderfully human.
Having the information and knowing what to do with it is very different from actually doing something with it. And that's the real truth. Information doesn't equal transformation.
Tune into this week's episode Clarity From AI, Execution By You – The Truth About Transformation In An AI World where I'm sharing where the latest AI technologies intersect with personal transformation.

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 quiet trade off. She'd write follow-up emails after meetings instead of contributing in the room, and she'd share her ideas behind the scenes, hoping that someone else might pick them up, listen to them, and maybe ask her to run with them.
When I heard all of this, it absolutely broke my heart. But it also reminded me that this isn't an isolated story. In fact, it's one that I see all of the time and at all the different stages of a woman's career from early leadership right through to the executive table.
Maybe you can relate?
Tune into this week's episode Four Powerful Shifts To Help You Use Your Voice & Speak Up With Confidence where we're going to be talking about using your voice, speaking up, owning your space, and trusting that what you bring to the table is valuable and saying the thing even if your voice shakes.

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 like this is to do it with support. A coach, mentor, colleagues, supportive family. All of it can make a difference.
But we don't all have that all of the time, so if that's the case, or if you're just curious about what steps you can take (and what you should probably avoid doing) when transitioning in your career this is for you.
Tun into this week's episode Start Strong: The Do’s And Don’ts Smart Humans Follow In A New Role to make sure you're equipped for the first few months in a new role with my Do's and Don'ts for smart humans.

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 business owners.
We experience the messy middle during big work projects, life changes, organisational change, renovating your house, reinventing your career...anything where you're in the process of going from an idea to completing it.
Tun into this week's episode Embracing the Messy Middle: An Unspoken Truth About Transformation which was inspired by a client of mine where I answer the question of how it really feels to embrace the messy middle and the 4 key things you can do while you're in this in-between space.

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 into roles that don't suit us anymore than the one we're currently in.
This is where setting your Career Criteria comes in so that you can play an active role in the choosing of your career, rather than just waiting to be picked.
Tun into this week's episode The Career Decision Filter Every Human Needs where we cover:
- Exactly what a career criteria is
- Why having a criteria to help you assess your next role is helpful
- The 5 steps to craft your own criteria
- My one caveat that I add when I do this exercise with clients

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 skills and mindset necessary for organisations of purpose to achieve their goals. By helping these organisations operate at their full potential, Nina is not just supporting businesses—she’s shaping the future of communities across Australia. This passion for making change stick is one of the key reasons Nina founded her company Three6.
Nina started her career as a Mechanical Engineer, and she has so many skills in service design , process optimisation and automation as well as AI that it’s impossible for me to mention them all here. But what I do know for sure is that Nina blends her technical expertise and a genuine focus on people as she supports organisations to embrace customer centric transformations.
In today's episode - Intentional Growth, Strategic Career Moves And Owning Your Path With Special Guest Nina Muhleisen we chat about:
- Nina's desire to bridge the gap between strategy, service design and implementation in organisations
- Her approach to strategy in her career and business
- Nina's experience with self-doubt and her tips to move forward

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, you'd know that I start every episode in the same way by saying "Hi, hi fabulous humans". You may not know though, that I use this same starter for any big meetings where I'm presenting or teaching.
Why? Because it tells my brain that we're about to start serving a group of fabulous humans and it leads into my subject matter without feeling awkward about how I'm going to start.
Tun into this week's episode Difficult Conversations Made Easy: What To Say When It Matters Most we're making some of the most difficult conversations that come up in the workplace, just that little bit easier by using scripts and sentence starters. We're covering:
- Why workplace conversations can feel so hard
- Why I recommend using scripts and sentence starters to overcome this
- How you can use scripts without sounding robotic
- Real examples from my new Confident Conversations handbook

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, you’re already worrying about what’s next. Or perhaps you feel like success is just beyond your reach, no matter how much you do. If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
These behaviours don’t always look like fear at first glance. Sometimes, they show up as habits that seem useful, even productive. They can make us feel like we’re taking control, protecting ourselves, or staying motivated. But in reality, they can keep us trapped in cycles that prevent us from fully stepping into our own success.
I call them the 3 C's - Comparison, Control and Catastrophising.
Tun into this week's episode Breaking Free: 3 Fear-Based Behaviours Blocking Your Success how each of these behaviours show up, why they're problematic and importantly how you can start to move past them and feel successful on your own terms.

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 success, the year just been has been my most successful year at the bank ever.
It's been such a big year that I've had conference organisers reaching out wanting me to speak on their stages about delivering large scale, successful transformation.
While they might be asking me to attend with my corporate hat on, the factors that drive successful transformation can be applied on a more personal level as well, which is exactly what I'm sharing in this episode so that you can drive your own successful transformation.

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 become more confident in who you are and your abilities.
In today's episode - Your Inner Circle: Building A Support Network For Limitless Growth we're exploring:
- How to build a support network that not only uplifts you but empowers you to grow beyond your own perceived limits
- How you can identify the right people for your own inner circle

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 not a story that I let hold me back, but our stories one of the things that hod us back. They might be stories about who we are or what we're capable of, or they can be stories that society has led us to believe are true.
These stories and myths can stop us from taking action because "I'm not good enough", "I don't know enough", "No-one will listen", "I need to be perfect before I can X" and so on.
In today's episode - The 3 Leadership Myths Holding You Back (and How to Overcome Them) I'm sharing exactly what's in the title plus 4 additional tools to help you move past your stories and into your leadership potential.

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. Confidence is about trusting yourself to navigate challenges, learn along the way, and show up authentically. Which I think highlights how necessary confidence is when it comes to trying new things, and therefore achieving your goals.
In today's episode - Confidence Is Key: 4 Tips To Help You Build Your Confidence So You Can Shine This Year I'm sharing:
- Confidence as the cornerstone to living a fulfilling life
- 4 steps to take to build your confidence muscle
- Real client success stories from using these 4 steps

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 my coaching, there's also room for improvement for next year.
Given the time of year it is, I've set my word (it's actually words this year) and am updating my personal success criteria to set myself up with milestones and markers of success that suit the life that I desire and the goals that I have for myself.
In today's episode - What Does Success Look Like For You In 2025? I'm sharing with you my words for 2025 and my updated personal success criteria for the year ahead, as well as sharing how you can develop your own personal success criteria.

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 women I've worked with have proven to be true time and time again this year
In today's episode - The Big Thing My Clients Have Proven in 2024 I'm celebrating the amazing women that I have the pleasure of walking shoulder to shoulder with and all that they have achieved this year, and how they inspire me to do better.

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, exhausted, and stressed.
So today I want to transform your holiday season from chaotic to calm.
In today's episode - Automate Your Way to a Stress-Free Holiday Season I'm sharing with you how you can leverage the power or technology and automation to streamline the upcoming holiday season and embrace the joy and love that I know you'd prefer to feel.

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 just like anything it's a skill.
And how do we get better at skills? We show up again and again, pick ourselves up when things don't go to plan and keep our inner-critic in check.
In today's episode - The One Quality You Need To Cultivate For Long Term Success we're talking about why you should and how you can build the muscle that will help you withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. The resilience muscle.

"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 simply that we've never been taught to.
In today's episode - Can't See Yourself Like Others Do? This Episode Might Change Everything! I'm sharing some details from a coaching session to walk you through how I work with women to uncover their superpowers so you can start to see yourself like the people around you do.

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 episode - Making The Shift From Not Enough To More Than Enough, I'm sharing:
- Why you're feeling like you lack enough of something (time, money, energy etc)
- The importance of prioritising what's important to you
- The downfall of making an identity leap about not being enough
- Why it's time for you to start iterating

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, your leadership and career potential.
It's scary, I know. It brings up all sorts of fears, but the good news is that it's a skill that with practice you can absolutely nail and start using your voice in the way you desire.
In today's episode - Why speaking up is important - and my best tips for speaking in public I'm sharing:
- How I went from a nervous speaker to being confident in using my voice
- Why I want you to ask more questions
- My public speaking tips for before, at, during and after the event to help you use your voice and become a confident public speaker

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 You Giving Your Power Away At Work? I'm sharing:
- Why I think so many women struggle with the concept of power
- Why we look outside ourselves for power
- The 2 BIG ways I see women give their power away in their careers

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 online classes), so when an opportunity came up for an in-person training that would expand on my current knowledge, but brought up some resistance because it would make me entirely uncomfortable, Scotty (my biggest cheerleader) stepped in.
In today's episode - Scotty Said What?! My Husband Pushed Me To Grow - And Here’s How I’m Handling It I'm sharing how my husband exposed a blind spot of mine and how I'm using this to get out of my own damn way.

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 achieve operational business objectives and thrive in complex and challenging environments. Blanca has led small and large teams in locations across five continents and is keen to share her YES! to Success framework to help others succeed at work.
This conversation was inspired by one that we had in a coaching session, and I just knew that it was something that we needed to explore and share here on the podcast.
Blanca's philosophy is very much aligned with the concept that I speak about regularly here on the show and that's the idea of setting your own success criteria.
In today's episode -Saying Yes To Success With Special Guest Blanca Guzmán Rodriguez Blanca and I chat about:
- Achieving your own version of success in your career and life
- Blanca's childhood, moving overseas by herself and embracing being a global citizen
- What a career break after a redundancy has given her
- How Blanca defines career success for herself
- The one tip Blanca would give to other women for defining their own success

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 this is something that I see in clients of mine.
From working with my clients who are feeling like they've hit a plateau in their leadership journey, I've discovered that there are some things that I've seen on repeat that hold us back in our leadership journey.
In today's episode -The Top 3 Things Holding My Clients Back From Upleveling Their LeadershipI'm sharing:
- Why I consider everyone to be a leader
- How the stories you tell yourself are holding you back from your next level in leadership
- Why your reliance on outdated tools is hindering your growth
- The importance of having a supportive community of like minded people

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 notebook to get the idea out of my head and onto paper before I scorched the onions and had to start over on dinner.
You'll be happy to know that dinner was a success AND I have a new and exciting project in the works.

Today’s episode was inspired by a very special client of mine. She’s a natural leader, but has avoided that truth for the longest time. But recently, she excitedly shared how much she was enjoying an unexpected opportunity to step into the leadership space.
It reminded me that the world would be a way better place if fabulous women like my client only had the confidence to lead.
So many of the women I speak with look at other leaders and decide that it’s not something they could do because they don't see themselves as a "born leader".
But here’s the thing. There’s no such thing as a born leader. Leadership is a skill. And like any skill, it has to be learned and practised.
In today's episode - How to Build Your Confidence When It Comes To Leadership we're covering why gaining clarity on being a leader is important to you and 4 actions you can take to build your confidence in leadership
Read this episode's full transcript here.
Imagine this:
Leadership is as the saying goes, a journey, not a destination. It's about growth, and sometimes, a little guidance can go a long way.
And that’s where my fabulous small group mastermind Limitless might come in handy. Think intimate setting – no more than 5 amazing leaders like you – on a supportive 4 -month journey to unlock your leadership superpowers.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
We're back from France and feeling on top of the world, so this is the last of my France related podcasts for a while (I think).
A big thankyou to everyone who has been tuning in recently and asking questions.
France has influenced so much of my life, from sparking my interest in style and leading me to coaching, to the incredible people that I've met on our many many trips over there, and the foods I like to cook and how we style our home.
And I love sharing it with you.
In today's episode -The French Series Finale: Unpacking Your France Travel Questions I'm answering the questions that this incredible community has been asking as well as sharing some of the conversations I had with people I met while we were in France.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
If you're not a long time listener, firstly, welcome!
Secondly, did you know that my first coaching qualification was actually as a Style Coach?
Whilst this means that I've been trained in styling, the main focus of style coaching is on how we use our unique and individual sense of style to bring more of what we want in our lives.
How we feel about the way we present ourselves impacts how we show up in the world, so the more effort that goes int your daily style, the more confidence you have. This isn't about dressing to impress anyone else either, this is about wearing clothes that give you a feel good factor.
And if there's ever a time that we want to feel, it's when we're travelling and stepping out of our comfort zone.
In today's episode -My style-coach approach to packing for Paris - and everywhere else in the worldI'm sharing with you my best style coaching tips for packing so you feel confident and good in all the situations that you encounter while you're travelling (without overpacking)

Bonjour Paris!
The title says it all for this episode, as this episode goes live Scotty and I will be almost ready to head back to Paris for the first time in 5 years, so this is a bit more of a personal episode.
If you're new here, then one thing you absolutely need to know about me is that I'm in love with France. We've visited Paris around 20 times (maybe more at this point, I'm no longer sure), and I love to share with you what it is I love about Paris, why we keep going back and all the lessons that I've learnt throughout our visits.
In today's episode - Bonjour Paris! Facing Memories And Embracing New Adventures I'm sharing with you the memories that have held me back from returning to Paris for 5 years, what I'm looking forward to the most, and some travel resources if you're thinking about your very own trip to Paris!

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
It's time to discover the transformative power of letting go and the secret to harnessing true productivity!
On the latest episode of the Self-Styled Life Podcast, I peel back the layers of delegation, revealing how this underutilised skill can be a game-changer for professional women everywhere.
We'll dissect the internal tug-of-war that many of us face—the push to do it all and the pull to entrust others. You'll learn to navigate the societal pressures that dictate our roles as women, wives, and mothers, and how these roles often hinder our ability to seek support and delegate tasks effectively.
Prepare to be empowered with actionable strategies for mastering the art of delegation, which will unlock more time and energy for the things that light up your life.
I'll guide you through crafting crystal-clear communication and selecting the right person for each task, ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities.
Plus, I give you an exclusive sneak peek into "Time:Redefined," my mini-course designed to equip you with the tools for mastering your time and energy. Say goodbye to the myths of multitasking and the allure of the superwoman syndrome, and hello to a life where your time aligns with your true values and pleasures.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
I have a galaxy of superstar humans on my team in the corporate world. They inspire me to uplevel my leadership and continue to show up and walk shoulder to shoulder with them.
Because I value them all as individuals on their own journeys, I am always keeping an eye out for subtle ways that they might be holding themselves back, because it is often a throwaway comment that gives them away.
And recently I heard from one of my incredible, whip smart, strong women that she wanted to make sure she didn't run out of capacity.
And I want to talk about it.
In today's episode - My Number One Tip For Stretching How You Think About Time And Energy I'm sharing a conversation I had with one of colleagues recently and I want to share the advice I gave her…because it truly is me biggest tip for stretching how we can think about time and energy.

You’ll never take action towards your dream career if your beliefs and thoughts are stopping you.
I know that you're here because you have big dreams for your career and want to do meaningful work.
You're locked in on wanting to feel the excitement of having a real impact, having big conversations, leading in an authentic way, and all the other things that you've gotten clarity on around your career desires.
And yet despite all the clarity about what you want your life and career to look like, somehow this dream career of yours feels out of reach. It’s a bit like a mirage on the horizon - it shimmers in front of you but still seems miles away and out of reach.
In today's episode - The Two Things Preventing You From Having The Career Of Your Dreams I'm sharing:
- The two mindset blocks preventing you from having the career of your dreams despite you being really clear on what you want
- Why you should be setting strong boundaries
- A brand new resource that I created for you to set boundaries and create more time and space for your work AND personal life

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
It's safe to say that as humans we have a lot going on in our lives.
We are multi-faceted individuals, all navigating the curveballs life throws at us.
The more compassionate we can be with ourselves and the people around us in the workplace, the easier it will be to navigate the messy corporate landscape.
We are neither machines, nor can we keep ourselves distracted from our personal challenges forever so it pays to know how you can navigate the personal challenges whilst working in corporate.
In today's episode - Managing personal challenges at work: Strategies for supporting yourself & others when life's storms hit I'm sharing why I believe leaving your troubles at the door when it comes to navigating person challenges at work is terrible advice and my strategies for making sure you are supported during difficult times.

Women expect a lot from their careers these days, which is exactly as it should be.
We’re looking for elevated incomes, evolving flexibility and, for many of us, we want to feel fulfilled.
But here’s the funny thing about fulfilment - how do you actually know when you’re fulfilled?
It’s not like we come with a fuel gauge type meter on our foreheads that indicates our levels of fulfilment from our career.
In today's episode - Let's be honest - Is your job REALLY fulfilling you? Here are 3 ways to know I'm sharing with you the 3 indicators that I use and that I work with my clients on that will help you determine if your career really is fulfilling you.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
This episode is focussed entirely on increasing your income.
Too often, the only conversation we're having around female salaries in the corporate world is around the gender pay gap and how salary inequality is a bad thing, but rarely do we talk about what we can do to increase our income.
For the longest time I used every excuse under the sun to downplay the importance of being paid well for my work, saying things like: "Oh, money doesn't matter that much" or "I'd much prefer to be doing satisfying work".
Money is not a taboo subject and in today's episode - Mastering the art of negotiating a pay rise I'm looking at 6 of my top recommendations for negotiating a pay rise from before you even have that conversation to how you might feel during those conversations.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
I recently shared a post on Instagram about one of the biggest mistakes I see female leaders making when it comes to their careers and particularly their leadership
That mistake is when they fall into mothering energy with their teams.
It was an incredibly popular post, and you know I am all about sharing what is helpful for you, so I wanted to expand on this mistake so that you can empower your team in a way that works for you and your team.
Being in a mothering energy with your team is not only detrimental for you with taking on additional workload, but it's also not great for your team. (Really, how many adults do you know that want to be mothered?)
In today's episode - Lead, don't mother. Four tips to help you empower your team without slipping into mothering energy, I'm diving into how nurturing and caring female leaders fall into the trap of mothering their team and how you can avoid this happening to you.

Welcome to the 50th episode of the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
For this exciting (& a little bit scary episode) my husband, Scotty agreed to join me to ask all of the questions that you sent through when I was planning this episode.
Before you dive into this episode, I want to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am that you're here listening to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast.
When I first began thinking about starting a podcast there were so many 'What ifs'. We didn't know how it would go, if anyone would listen, if I would even have enough to talk about or the time to put into all that goes on BTS of a podcast, but here we are.
It's because of you being here, sending in questions, feedback and your support that we have made it to 50 episodes.
In today's episode - Our 50th episode: It's time for me to answer all your questions (with special guest host, Scott Gould) I'm answering your questions including:
- What my 3 tools to help you get to know yourself better have taught me about myself
- How I've grown as a leader over my 30 years in corporate and the biggest challenges I've overcome
- Where I see smart, professional women limiting themselves the most
- The advice I would now give to younger Janelle
And so much more!

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
One of the things I struggled with early in my personal coaching journey was the misunderstanding that coaching would somehow 'fix' me.
Now, that's not how life or coaching works.
Life is always going to throw up disappointing, difficult and even heart-breaking challenges for us, and our emotions are always going to play their part too.
So while coaching doesn't give you a free pass to skip those hard bits, it does give you an effective toolkit for those times.
With that said, my toolkit came in handy recently when disappointment hit me on an unassuming Monday.
In today's episode - The exact steps I took in the face of a recent disappointment I'm sharing with you the steps I took when I was disappointed recently in the hopes that you can take on board these steps and add to your toolkit what you need.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
I've come to realise that in the past two years I have missed talking about at least one really big benefit of building your self-belief and living that self-styled life that I'm always talking about.
That element is being and feeling at ease with yourself your life and your world.
I'm really starting to get over the rhetoric that comes with hustle culture - work hard, lots of hours, put in the hard yards - I'm sure you know the messaging.
It's time to change that and start talking about the ease that comes with self-belief and confidence.
With that said, in today's episode - Self-belief: the key to feeling at ease with yourself, your life and the world we're covering:
- How self-belief is at the heart of self-styling your life AND feeling at ease
- Why I'm going to be talking about ease
- The place I recommend all my clients start to gain clarity around their self-belief

Today we're talking about the self-doubt loop - exactly what it is and how you can break it
Self-doubt can be a really vicious cycle that can keep women feeling really stuck. It shows up in so many obvious areas of life (careers and relationships), but also some less obvious places like in your training, education and growth.
In today's episode - The self-doubt loop and how to break it we're covering:
- Exactly what a self-doubt loop is
- Why women get stuck in self-doubt loops
- The 4 steps from my signature framework (clarity, mindset, action) to break the cycle

Today we have my favourite kind of episode - a listener question. Or perhaps it's better put that I'm answering a question that many listeners have.
I was asked to present to a group of emerging leaders in corporate about how to deal with imposter syndrome. And as I was prepping for that session, I realised that I should also share the same information here on the podcast where it can help so many more humans.
So if you've been feeling alone in feeling like a fraud in your career or life, I want you to know that this is something that I talk about a lot in my corporate role, as well as being something that I regularly coach on.
In today's episode - A deep dive into imposter syndrome - What it is, what it isn't and what you can do about it we're covering:
- What exactly is imposter syndrome?
- What you could be experiencing instead of imposter syndrome?
- How and why imposter syndrome holds us back?
- Tools and tactics you can use to overcome your imposter syndrome.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
We never make times for the things we don't want.
We're much, much more likely to create time and space for the things we do want.
I am in the midst of creating a new, super affordable, super exciting course that I just can't wait to share with you all, and because I am that excited to share it with you I decided that one of the mini-lessons I recorded the other day would be just the thing for this episode.
In today's episode - A sneak peek from inside my new course, I'm sharing with you a mini-lesson I recorded the other day that will be in that course about deciding what you want your life to look like and what your heart desires.
Once you've had a listen to this episode, you can use this question as a prompt to get your mind ticking over about what it is that you really want: What do you want your life to look like without limiting yourself in anyway?

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
There are many similarities across all of my clients, and many of them I identify with too, but I discovered that there is just one thing that they all have in common.
What could a group of career driven, goal-oriented women who have me as a coach have in common?
It's the belief that they have unfulfilled potential inside them and that they are meant for more.
What that more is, might vary greatly between each person (bigger jobs, bigger adventures, bigger challengers, romance etc), but they all known that there is more out there for them, than what they currently have.
In today's episode - The One Trait That Every One Of My Coaching Clients And I Have In Common we're exploring this trait, how it might be showing up for you and 2 different ways you can tap into your untapped potential
And a little reminder that I have a free masterclass on the 3 styles of people-pleasing and the strategies to wipe it from your life over at janellewehsack.com/free-masterclass

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
This episode is on a topic that so many of you agree can cause issues.
People-pleasing.
I recently ran a poll over on Instagram, and I asked about the things that you felt were holding you back.
A whopping 91% named people-pleasing as something that you'd like to wipe out of your life (far more than perfectionism and procrastination)
In today's episode - 91% of you called people-pleasing a problem. Here are the 3 reasons I'm not surprised we're exploring the 3 key reasons that so many of us resort to people-pleasing, and the first step to overcoming this protective behaviour.
If you're one of the many, many people who would be very happy to rid people-pleasing from their life I have a free masterclass on the 3 styles of people-pleasing and the strategies to wipe it from your life over at janellewehsack.com/free-masterclass

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 than what anyone else says to you.
In today's episode - The three words that could be sabotaging your success we'll explore:
- The importance of the language you use in your success
- Three words that I see women use all the time that can limit you and sabotage your success
- How these words sabotage your success
- How you can deal with each of these words and remove them from your vocabulary

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.
Choosing between all of the things we want is hard. And we want to make the right choice, in order to protect ourselves from the risk of failure or disappointment. So we turn ‘not choosing’ into a protective behaviour, which in turn gets us stuck.
But there is another option.
In today's episode - Introducing one of the most important strategies for self-styling your career and life we'll be chatting about:
- The 'And Strategy' as a tool to employ when you find yourself facing choices and defaulting to limiting yourself
- The two steps to employing this strategy to self-style the life you want
- The mindset you can use to get playful with this strategy
- It's usefulness in big life decisions and small every day choices

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 Melbourne I noticed that everything was straightforward and effortless, it just didn't require the same thought that being in France does for me.
This realisation reinforced for me the fact that we spend much of our time living unconsciously and coasting through on auto-pilot.
I prefer my life when I'm forced to think, when I'm challenged and when life isn't simply passing me by.
If you feel the same way, but you're not sure how to actual put more intention into your day, this is for you.
In today's episode - Want to stop living on auto-pilot? Here's what being intentional actually looks like we'll be chatting about:
- My best advice for you for being intentional in your life
- What it means to be intentional
- The story of a human that lives and breathes intentionality so you can learn from their example.

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, and it made sense that we would be absorbed into the transformation environment.
Now I did one thing back then, that I always encourage others to avoid...I downplayed my extensive knowledge, experience and skills which ultimately led to to going against my instincts and setting up teams and systems in a way I knew was unlikely to work - and did in fact turn out to be less than the brilliant success that was hoped for.
Back to the present day, and the past few weeks in the same organisation has seen more teams come into the business and the suggestion was made to implement a structure that looks remarkably similar to what we did back in 2018.
So in today's episode - What you can learn from my BIG self-doubt moment I'm diving into this situation, how I handled my self-doubt and the lessons that you can take away from it (and there's quite a few!)

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 for your brain to rationalise the fact that you can’t actually do the thing.
But there’s a flaw here. When a baby is little, do you ever look at them and think, well, you’ve never done anything before, so therefore you can’t do anything?
Of course you don’t.
So in today's episode - Just because you haven't done the thing doesn't mean you can't we're looking into this story.
We'll be chatting about:
- The questions I ask that bring up this story in my coaching sessions
- Why it makes perfect sense that you might be telling yourself this story
- Two strategies for sidestepping protective behaviours and for trying something new
And if you have a question or a topic that you would like me to chat about you can send me a DM over on IG.

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 have taught me to dig deeper than that.
Our lives are never fully compartmentalised and how we do one thing is usually how we do most things. So I sat with the question for a while. And I realised that France and my love of French culture have influenced my leadership more than I immediately thought.
And in today's episode - How my love of France has shaped my leadership; we're taking a little trip down memory lane.
We'll be chatting about:
- The backstory on my love affair with France
- My first coaching qualification
- The 3 key areas where my love of all things French has influenced my leadership
- Tips on upping the quality of things in your life
And if you have a question or a topic that you would like me to chat about you can send me a DM over on IG.

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 been hearing more and more talk about why we should all be trying to get out of corporate, but to me the discussion feels very one sided.
Now, I know there's bullying, burnout and bitchiness (I coach on these things every day), but like everything in life there is a spectrum in corporate and it's not all bad.
The 6 reasons that I'm talking about today that make the corporate environment a great place for me to work are:
- I get to lead and coach every single day
- I have a steady and stable income
- I get the chance to experiment - often
- I have the opportunity to regularly reinvent myself
- I've made the best friends a woman could have
- I have so much fun

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 your own, unique version of success and what that might include and how that will feed into the success criteria that you set for yourself.
And if after you've had a listen you're ready to delve into this topic on a deeper level, I'm running a masterclass to step you through how you might start measuring your own success. You can join us here.

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 development circles, but they seem to be a little bit of a mystery for some of us in corporate and other professions.
So in today's episode - Sharing My Word of the Year for 2023, I thought I'd take a little time to discuss all the things about these special words so that you can consider what word might support you this year.
We'll be chatting about:
- How my 2022 word of the years supported me
- Why a word of the year can be helpful
- How you can select a word for the year
- And of course, my new, 2023 word for the year

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 of things that can get in your way, but the biggest of these is wanting to be liked

- Where people-pleasing and the need to be liked comes from and why they can be hard to break without intentional work
- How people-pleasing and wanting to be liked can undermine our leadership

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 industries tell me how much they dislike conflict.
They don't like how conflict - or even the thought of conflict - makes them feel. They worry they'll get into some sort of argument and freeze or that they won't know what to say. And they're especially afraid they'll get emotional and cry.
So in today's episode - Getting Comfortable with Conflict -we'll be chatting about:
- What conflict is and how it translates into the corporate world
- Different ways you can think about conflict and dig into where your dislike of it comes from
- Some ways that you can get more comfortable with conflict

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 horizon. Originally, I was going to call the blog post…I’m a better human when I get to travel to France.
Initially, I started playing with the idea that I was experiencing the power that comes with having something to look forward to. We all know how sweet anticipation can taste. And I was wondering if I was actually the adult equivalent to a toddler on red cordial. But as I rolled that idea around in my mind for a week or two, I came to the conclusion that I was dealing with something bigger than anticipation. I mean I look forward to all sorts of things every day of the week - for example, coffee in the morning or slippers in the evening - and none of those small anticipations make me more effective.
So I sat with the idea for a while longer, and eventually realised what was going on. I was experiencing the power that comes from having a really clear goal. I realised that when I have a really clear vision of my future, which is effectively a goal to aim for - in this case, me travelling to France, soaking in the colours of the French Riviera and the Mediterranean Sea, I am motivated to operate at a new level. It is my future goal rather than France itself or travel that encourages me to uplevel in all the ways I mentioned earlier.
So today, I want to share some of the thinking behind this idea, and how I’m going to translate that into everyday life. Yes, this is a bit of a different episode, but I hope you find my musings on clarity and goal setting helpful.
I’ll be back again soon with another episode of Self.Styled.Life. But until then, stay fabulous.

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 want. And when you start really refining what you want in your life, well that’s when we start getting into the art of curation.
It pays to curate almost everything in your life. I’m thinking about everything from the people you spend time with, the things in your home, the tasks you take on, the clothes in your wardrobe and things like the books you read, shows you watch and your social media feeds. Imagine if everything you let into your life was something you absolutely loved. How differently would you feel about your day and the world around you? I’m thinking that you’d feel uplifted and energised and excited to be alive.
And before you start shaking your head saying that you couldn’t be so intentional as to only be surrounded by things you love, know that you can and that myself and many of my clients have done exactly that. Yes, it can take time. Yes, it takes making the decision to do so over and over again. Sometimes it takes tough conversations. And yes, sometimes you’ll still find yourself watching some mindless thing on YouTube. But every move you make towards curating your life is a step in the direction of a life that feels unique and fulfilling for you. The trick is to decide you want a curated life and start refining from there.
So in this episode, I'll be talking about how you can start to curate your own life by making one decision at a time. I really hope you find this episode supports you to self-style your life.

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 in a celebrity gossip magazine. And sometimes this is the case - a woman will be flying high, seemingly doing all of the things, and then she suddenly crashes in a dramatic way, not to be heard of again for months and months. Those around her nod knowingly at each other and mutter words like ‘well with everything she had going on, she was probably always headed for burnout’.
The thing is though, I rarely see burnout show up like that in my clients or my colleagues. Complete meltdowns happen way less often than we might think. Burnout is far more likely to show up in far more subtle ways. Ways that are so subtle that even the women experiencing them aren’t 100 percent certain that they’re actually suffering from burnout. And that’s where burnout can be particularly problematic. Because let’s face it. Burnout has never been a hallmark of any sort of fabulousness. Rather, it tends to be the reason that women find themselves in the middle of a marriage breakdown or a health crisis. And it’s driven many women to step away from careers, hobbies or volunteer activities they love. Which is precisely why knowing what some of the signs of burnout are, so that you can be on the lookout for them, and make adjustments before things get completely out of hand.
So in this episode we'll be chatting about:
- Four subtle signs of burnout
- How you can use my signature coaching framework of clarity, mindset and action to help you avoid or return from burnout
- Three areas you need to be super clear on when creating a self-styled life and by extension avoiding burnout

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 Australia. So many workplaces are reverting to work from home arrangements as Covid and the flu continue to make it difficult for teams to come together in person.
So in this episode, I want to look at what corporate style looks like in 2022 for those of us who have been able to return to the office AND for everyone who is continuing to work from home. And let’s face it, these more flexible hybrid arrangements are fabulous for women who want to self-style their lives and careers, so long may the choice we have regarding work location continue. Which means it’s worth having the conversation in the context that corporate work is a hybrid and the we should be thinking of corporate style as a hybrid too.
In today's episode, we'll be chatting about
- The impact that your style can have on your confidence.
- Why true style comes when we trust ourselves.
- The fact that hybrid style is definitely a thing.
- Tips for style on video.

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 large Australian Bank. I really, really wanted the best of both coaching and corporate, which for me looks like working 4 days per week in corporate and 1 day a week coaching, at least for right now.
But I pre-decided that outcome couldn’t be a thing. I came to that conclusion on my own, without any input from my boss. You see, I just knew he’d say no. In fact, I was completely certain. I’d informed my husband, my best friend and my coach of the outcome. Truth be told, I probably even told the cat that my role is a big one, and that no one in their right mind would say yes to a program director showing up 4 days a week. I was adamant about it.
Thank goodness it eventually occurred to me that I’d made the decision without actually asking my boss for his thoughts on the topic. When I finally thought to have a conversation about what I wanted, I was surprised to learn that my boss not only thought I could fulfil my role working 4 days a week, but offered to find me a mentor to help me navigate my big job on a reduced working week. The answer I thought he would share was so different the actual answer - I seriously could not have been more wrong. He didn’t even need time to think about it…he agreed to my request on the spot.
So in today's episode, we'll be chatting about
- What is pre-empting might look like in your life
- The importance of staying curious
- Common self-protective behaviours

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 ‘I’m not sure why they picked me’. Which is just code for saying they feel like a fraud.
From my experience, there is one key factor that leads women to feeling like a fraud and that comes about from the fact that you haven’t yet stepped into a new identity. For the purposes of today’s chat, we’ll think about that identity as a leader or as someone moving into a more senior role.
So in today's episode, we'll be chatting about
- The number one reason you feel like a fraud and what to do about it
- How to flip the narrative
- The importance of patience

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, extended families and hobbies, it pays to make sure that we are putting some time into our own well-being. So in today’s episode I want to spend some time sharing some simple ways for you to start taking care of yourself. None of the things I’ll share today have to be extravagant, expensive or difficult but they are likely to bring a smile to your face and in my mind that’s a fabulous start.
The self-care tips I am going to be talking about are:
- Adding a gorgeously scented body-wash or soap to your daily shower routine.
- Choose fabrics that are soft and gentle on your skin.
- While you’re about it, choose outfits that make you feel good as you go about your day.
- Light a candle and enjoy both the flicker and the scent.
- Exercise in a way that feels uplifting and caring for your.
- Nourish your body.
- Buy yourself a bunch of beautiful flowers.
- Get a massage.
- Stop and breathe for a moment or two every day.
- Try tapping.
- Spritz yourself with your favourite scent.
- And finally - Get some decent sleep.

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 only thing we can control are ourselves. And the better we understand our own make-up and conditioning, the easier it is to make sense of and tailor our own responses, reactions, behaviours and patterns. It also helps us to stop following the herd and inspires us to bring things into our lives that suit us and work well for us. These things can be everything from work opportunities to hobbies all the way through to how we spend our vacation time. And when things are working well for us, everything feels easier, more natural and way more fulfilling.
So in this episode, I’m sharing three of my favourite tools to help you learn more about yourself. We’ll explore:
- Discovering your unique Human Design
- Using a Strengths finder
- Learning about your Personality Type
Resources mentioned in the episode:

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
In today’s episode I want to help you sort out everything related to leaders, managers, sponsors, mentors and coaches. All of these humans can be leveraged to help you take your career from where you are now to where you want to go. Especially if you’re super clear on where you want to go and you’re not afraid to share your career aspirations. But that is a whole lot easier to do when you know the difference between them and you’re clear on the role they can play in your career.
I tend to think of all of these people as part of my team, much like I consider the people who support me in my personal life as part of the team who help me live life in a way that feels fab for me.
We talk about these 5 different roles that can support your career growth and how;
- True leaders show up and lead no matter what.
- Managers direct the day to day work that should be brining the vision of the leaders to life.
- Mentors are really great for sharing their experience and telling you how to do a thing.
- Sponsors are the senior leaders within your workplace - and sometimes outside your workplace - who advocate on your behalf when you’re not there.
- Coaching is the opportunity for you to focus on you, your potential and your dreams and goals.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
In today’s episode we talk about six ideas to help you bounce back from tough times in your career.
We all have times in our careers and our lives where things don’t go quite right. A sketchy presentation. A less than stellar performance review. An argument with a colleague. And while these events might leave us feeling less than great, they rarely impact our self-belief or our confidence in the longer term.
Unfortunately though, there are also times when we find ourselves walking through a tough season in our working lives. A time where we’re left wondering what to do next. Perhaps you’ve been demoted. Or found yourself the victim of bullying or harassment. Or you’ve had a business or project fail spectacularly – or publicly.
These circumstances shake your confidence to the core and erode your self-belief. And they require real intention and consideration as you work to get yourself back to a more self-assured footing. But this work doesn’t have to take as long as you might imagine - especially when you combine strategy, mindset and action through the tips and tools I’ll step you through in this episode.
So in this episode, I’m going to share six strategies to support you to bounce back after a tough season in your career, and they are:
- Be gentle and graceful with yourself. Belting yourself up will not serve you here.
- Use the situation to really reflect and get clarity on what you want from your career and how you want to feel as you walk through your days.
- Remember that a tough season does not define your career or your life. And that the stories you tell yourself can be supportive if you choose them to be.
- Take action in the form of experiments and baby-steps in order to start collecting evidence that you will bounce back. And recognise behaviours like perfectionism, procrastination and people-pleasing for the protective mechanisms they are.
- Get professional support if you need it. If your body was hurting you’d take it to a doctor or a physio or some sort of similar therapist. Give this hurt the same care.
- Get away from it all if you need a change in perspective. But remember wherever you go, there you’ll be. So make sure you’re not just trying to run away.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
In this week’s episode we talk about some of the principles for self-styling your life. I want to share some of my principles for self-styled living to give you some guard rails for styling your own life. The inspo to share principles came from my current boss who recommends we all return to a few key principles whenever our work in the transformation program starts to feel hard, overwhelming or confusing. And I think the idea of principles will support you too, especially if you’re feeling stuck.
So in today's episode, I’m going to share five key principles that are fundamental for creating a self-styled life, and they are:
- You can’t do it wrong
- You have permission to change your mind
- Honour your boundaries
- Follow breadcrumbs
- Trust yourself.

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
In today’s episode I'm answering a listener request, which was - how do you speak to an audience authentically?
For full transparency, I need to share that answering this question feels like such a full circle moment for me. I mean, the fact that someone is asking me for tips on speaking in public or presenting makes me shake my head. For such a long time I dreaded speaking up in meetings, let alone presenting to an audience. I know I was not alone in this when it comes to speaking authentically - in fact, back in the day, I was squashed into the ‘I hate speaking’ box with just about everyone I know except one one of my closest friends and two of my favourite coaches, who are all very comfortable taking the mic or presenting to a crowd.
These days, I’m actually proud to say I’ve shifted from where I was to where they were, and of course, still are.
So in today’s coaching episode of the Self.Styled.Life podcast I want to share tips on both elements of my listener’s question. How do you speak and/or present authentically?
In this episode, you'll learn:
🎧 Why practising is your number one strategy when it comes to building skills
🎙️ How to let go of fear
🎧 My key tips when it comes to speaking authentically
I really hope this episode supports you to find your voice xx

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
Today’s episode we talk about the link between style and confidence. It’s such an important topic and partially explains why my very first coaching qualification was as a Style Coach. For so many of us, style and how we present ourselves to world is our first step into building our self-belief, our self-trust and our confidence. But it is easy to downplay the links between how we are dressed and our confidence levels. We’ve been conditioned to believe that being concerned about trivial things like style or fashion brand us as vain or superficial. But somewhat controversially I completely disagree. Feel free to call me shallow, but I know style & confidence are absolutely linked.
So with all of that as preamble, the question naturally arises. How can you start to use style to support your confidence? In this episode I share four tips to help you out.
You will learn:
- How you can start to use your style to support your confidence
- Finding the right clothes that make you feel fabulous
- How to be vigilant with the stories you're telling yourself

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
Today’s episode is another short sharp coaching episode, and it’s somewhat misleadingly titled 'Don't just survive - thrive. Five strategies you need to know if you want to thrive in the corporate world.' It’s misleading because I promise these very same strategies apply to working women everywhere. Please don’t feel like you have to skip this episode if you don’t work in corporate - I’m positive there’ll be something in this episode for you.
Depending on the circles you move in, working in corporate can get pretty bad press. The language used is pretty dire, with words like burnout, rat race and soul sucking being thrown around. If you're looking for proof, simply Google ‘escape the 9 to 5’. When I did exactly that, I was rewarded with a response of ‘About 9,520,000,000 results (0.55 seconds)’.
That’s a big number of results. And it tells you that many of us reach a point where we can get frustrated with our corporate or professional roles and wish we were doing something - anything - else.
Now, I get it - February 2022 saw me reach my 31st anniversary in the corporate world. When you’re having a bad day or a bad trot in your 9 to 5 role, fantasising about leaving makes perfect sense. And I know many women who, after a particularly disempowering time in the workplace, have completely transitioned into new industries and they are loving their lives.
But what if you like your job? What if you love the people you work with? What if you worked hard to get where you are? What if stability or the flexibility you’ve created in your corporate role is important to you? What if you actually really like your regular salary deposit? There’s no shame in saying you love the consistent salary that comes with corporate - so long as you love the rest of the gig. Why on earth would you want to escape the 9 to 5?
And let’s face it. Not all of us want to be an entrepreneur or are cut out for running a small business.
As part of my own self-styled life, I consciously choose to work in both worlds. I spend 4 days a week in my director role in corporate transformation and the remaining work time in my coaching practice. And I have to tell you, I’ve seen women burnout in both worlds. And I’ve seen women thrive in both worlds.
Yes, it's true. I’ve seen women thrive in the corporate environment. I still see women thriving in that environment every day - me, any number of my team and so many of the women I coach.
When we choose to self-style our lives, we also choose to ignore all of the noise that comes with what we 'should' be doing. We also get to choose what we believe. For example, you can choose to believe you’re in an energising environment as easily as you choose to believe you’re running in the rat-race.
So, it’s time for me to share my top five strategies for thriving rather than surviving in the corporate world. I really hope they inspire anyone who is looking for a long and fulfilling career in corporate.
You will learn:
- Why corporate can get pretty bad press
- How to shake things up in the corporate environment
- Five strategies you need to know if you want to thrive in the corporate world

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
In this episode, we talk about the difference between staying safe and staying stuck. If you can be aware of your self-doubt, how it shows up for you and still take action towards your dreams and goals - remember those fabulous baby-steps awesome human - then your self-doubt is just doing its job. But what do you do when your self-doubt and all of its related bits and bobs is actually keeping you stuck. Like really stuck. Well, it can become a problem. In a big way. Think chronic health issues, failed careers and families falling apart. These are not the self-styled life results we’re looking for. And you can’t fix what you don’t know about. So it’s worth understanding the key signals that indicate that you’re actually stuck rather than safe so that you can take action to solve the real problem. In working with my clients I’ve identified four key signs to watch out for and they are time, activity, language and certain emotions showing up regularly.
You will learn:
- The four signs that you’re not actually safe but you're stuck (and what to do about them)
- Why time, activity, language and certain emotions are showing up regularly
- The reason the words we use are important

A great big hello and welcome to Self.Styled.Life with Janelle Wehsack. I'm a certified life and career coach who also happens to have 30 years experience - and counting - in the corporate world. I support professional women to dance with their self-doubt so that they can build tailor made, self-styled careers - and lives.
I'm a huge podcast fan and I’m so excited to be connecting with you in this way. Just like my coaching practice, my blog and my insta account, here on the podcast I’ll be sharing the concepts, tools and techniques designed to help you self-style your life and career so you can do things your way rather than the way everyone tells you things should be done. I’ll be hitting the record button every couple of weeks with either short sharp coaching episodes or longer, deeper interviews.
