    Ep 191 - Being vs Doing: Why how you show up matters just as much as your strategy

    Send us a text At the beginning of a new year, it’s easy to feel pressure to have everything planned, mapped, and moving already. But what if how you are being matters just as much — if not more — than what you’re doing? In this solo episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores the tension between strategy and embodiment, and why relying solely on plans, frameworks, and lists can leave us feeling disconnected from the very outcomes we’re trying to create. You’ll hear reflections on: - The difference between being and doing in leadership and personal growth - Why strategy alone doesn’t shape our lived experience - How embodied leadership changes the way we approach goals and performance - Using your “word for the year” (or any intention) as a way of showing up — not just planning - Why sustainable success requires both structure and self-leadership This episode is for leaders, business owners, and high performers who want to move beyond hustle and into intentional, grounded, embodied leadership — without abandoning strategy altogether. 🎧 Tune in for a reminder that it’s not either/or. It’s both/and. #EmbodiedLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #WellbeingAtWork #SelfLeadership #IntentionalLiving #GetJasched Support the show Enjoying the podcast?

    Ep 190 - The Emotional Economy: How to lead with empathy without burning out

    Send us a text In this solo episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores the emotional economy of leadership — the invisible emotional labour many leaders carry as they support teams, manage uncertainty, and hold space for others. Drawing on emotional labour theory (Hochschild), emotion regulation research, and insights from wellbeing science, this episode unpacks why empathy has become a core leadership currency — and how overusing it without boundaries leads to burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion. You’ll learn: What emotional labour actually is (and why most leaders underestimate it) Why women, people leaders, and neurodivergent leaders often carry more emotional load The difference between empathy and emotional self-sacrifice How emotion regulation supports sustainable, high-impact leadership What healthy emotional leadership looks like — for you and your organisation This episode is for leaders who care deeply — and want to lead with empathy without losing themselves in the process.     #EmotionalIntelligence #LeadershipWellbeing #PeopleLeadership #BurnoutPrevention #EmbodiedLeadership Support the show Enjoying the podcast?

    Ep 189 - Psychological Safety Isn’t a Tick-Box: Leadership, risk & workplace culture with Ebony Dignan

    Send us a text Psychological safety is now written into workplace legislation — but what does that actually mean for leaders, managers, and teams in practice? In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess is joined by Ebony Dignan, Director of EJD Advisory, for a grounded, practical conversation about psychological safety, leadership responsibility, and workplace culture — and why compliance alone is never enough. Ebony brings her expertise in governance, risk management, and advisory work to unpack how organisations can move beyond box-ticking exercises and into real behavioural change that supports both people and performance. Together, we explore: What psychological safety legislation means in practice for leadersWhy leadership behaviour sets the tone for workplace cultureThe role of communication, trust, and self-reflection in managing psychosocial risksWhy one-size-fits-all wellbeing approaches often miss the markHow middle managers shape day-to-day safety and cultureThe importance of proactive check-ins — not “set and forget” frameworksHow strong people practices support retention, resilience, and business performanceThis episode is especially relevant for business owners, leaders, directors, and managers navigating increasing expectations around psychological safety — and wanting to do it well, not just legally. A timely, human conversation about responsibility, trust, and building workplaces where people can perform and feel secure. Support the show Enjoying the podcast?

    Ep 188 - Women, Worth & Wellness: Rewriting the rules of leadership, money and self-care with Nancy Griffin

    Send us a text What happens when women stop giving themselves away — and start making themselves the priority? In this powerful and deeply grounded conversation, I’m joined by Nancy Griffin, CEO and Founder of Women, Worth and Wellness, a pioneering organisation supporting women’s financial wellbeing, health, and leadership since the early 1990s. Together, we explore what it truly means for women to step up and step out — not by doing more, but by valuing themselves as their greatest asset. Nancy shares decades of insight working with women around wealth, wellbeing, partnership dynamics, and leadership, and why health must come before money, not after. This episode covers: - Why women’s health, wealth, and leadership must be integrated — not siloed - How over-giving and self-sacrifice quietly erode women’s confidence and capacity - The mindset shifts that help women reclaim their worth without guilt - What truly supportive wealth leadership looks like (and how to spot it) - Why making yourself the priority isn’t selfish — it’s essential - How well-resourced women lead differently, live differently, and sleep better This conversation is a reminder — especially as we enter a new year — that you are your most important asset. When women are supported, resourced, and confident in themselves, their leadership becomes clearer, calmer, and more impactful. 🎧 Tune in for a grounded, empowering conversation about leadership, wellbeing, money, and self-worth — and why none of them should ever be separated.

    Ep 187 - End-of-year rest & renewal: What you actually need right now

    Send us a text As the year draws to a close, many of us feel caught in a push–pull: wanting to wrap things up, while also desperately needing rest. In this final episode of Get Jasched for the year, Jess offers a gentle, grounded reflection on navigating the end-of-year period with more self-trust, clarity, and compassion — especially after what has been a heavy year for so many. This episode explores: - Why end-of-year overwhelm is so common (and so human) - The tension between slowing down and needing to keep going - How to release pressure without avoiding responsibility - Why scheduling rest — or even future planning — can actually calm the nervous system - The difference between sustaining yourself and regenerating energy - How play, imagination, and presence support wellbeing and resilience - Letting go of “shoulds” and tuning into what genuinely serves you now and future you Whether you’re feeling exhausted, reflective, hopeful, or all of the above, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what you need — without guilt or comparison. A supportive listen for leaders, business owners, and humans navigating the emotional complexity of the holiday season. Support the show Enjoying the podcast?

    Ep 185 - Astrology, anxiety & burnout: Finding yourself again with Rhianna Jade

    Send us a text In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess speaks with Rhianna Jade – an astrologer and holistic psychotherapist with 10 years’ experience as a registered psychologist in Australia – about how astrology and psychology can work together to support our mental health, emotional wellbeing and leadership. Rhianna has spent years helping people move through anxiety, burnout, grief, shame and identity loss. In this conversation, she and Jess dive into how high-achievers, entrepreneurs and caregivers often end up in imposter syndrome, over-giving and compassion fatigue, and how tools like astrology, nervous-system awareness and simple daily rituals can help us come back to ourselves. They explore: - How combining astrology and psychology gives us a more compassionate, objective language to understand ourselves - Why imposter syndrome and constant comparison are so rampant for high achievers and business owners - The difference between burnout and compassion fatigue – and what to look out for - How to use the moon cycles and retrograde seasons to plan, reflect and reset (without outsourcing your power) - Practical rituals and grounding practices to reduce anxiety, reconnect to your body and navigate year-end exhaustion - Why our Sun, Moon and Rising signs each reveal different parts of who we are and what we need to feel nourished - How reconnecting to your truth rebuilds confidence, trust, purpose and self-belief over time Rhianna also shares why “just breathe” is not 'nothing' advice – and how something as simple as returning to the breath can shift your energy, soften your nervous system and help you respond instead of react. If you’re feeling tired, done, over it, or crawling to the finish line, this episode is a permission slip to slow down, reflect, and remember you’re not broken – you might just be disconnected from what actually works for you. 🔗 Connect with Rhianna: Website & offerings: rihannajade.com Support the show Enjoying the podcast?
