Real Talk: People-Pleasing And Power Can’t Coexist

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.Read the this episode's full transcript here.Build the same Momentum Plan I use with my private clients.Find more from Janelle here:Complete Career ClarityJoin the waitlist for the Limitless ExperienceDownload your Confidence Codes ToolkitAccess Time:RedefinedConnect on Instagram

The Three Things Keeping High-Performing Women Feeling Stuck - And The Momentum Plan To Fix Them

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.Read the this episode's full transcript here.Build the same Momentum Plan I use with my private clients.Find more from Janelle here:Complete Career ClarityJoin the waitlist for the Limitless ExperienceDownload your Confidence Codes ToolkitAccess Time:RedefinedConnect on Instagram

My Clients Are Winning Right Now. Here's Exactly What's Driving Their Success

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.

Good work is not enough. There. I said it.

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.Read the this episode's full transcript here.Build the same Momentum Plan I use with my private clients.Find more from Janelle here:Complete Career ClarityJoin the waitlist for the Limitless ExperienceDownload your Confidence Codes ToolkitAccess Time:RedefinedConnect on Instagram

Restructure-Proof Your Career - What To Build Now So You Never Have To Feel Scared Again

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.Read the this episode's full transcript here.Build the same Momentum Plan I use with my private clients.Find more from Janelle here:Complete Career ClarityJoin the waitlist for the Limitless ExperienceDownload your Confidence Codes ToolkitAccess Time:RedefinedConnect on Instagram

New Levels, Old Devils: Why Uplevelling Brings Back Your Oldest Stories

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.Read the this episode's full transcript here.Build the same Momentum Plan I use with my private clients.Find more from Janelle here:Complete Career ClarityJoin the waitlist for the Limitless ExperienceDownload your Confidence Codes ToolkitAccess Time:RedefinedConnect on Instagram

The Career Advice That's Keeping You Stuck (And What to Do Instead)

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.Career advice is supposed to help, right? That's the whole point.
