Self.Styled.Life with Janelle Wehsack

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? Tun 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 Read this episode's full transcript here.

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 Read this episode's full transcript here.

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.
