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.

In this deeply honest and necessary conversation, I’m joined by former lawyer turned sustainable fashion founder and brand strategist Katey Harris to unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface for small business owners right now.

We dive into:
- Why small businesses are burning out at record levels
- The real impact of comparison with big corporations
- Why price and convenience are killing local communities
- The myth of “hustle = success”
- How brand, values, and community connection are actually your biggest competitive advantage
- The difference between sustainable vs regenerative business
- Why so many founders are exhausted by content creation and AI-driven marketing
- And how to redefine success on your own terms—without losing your health, relationships, or identity

This episode is for business owners, consultants, creatives, and leaders who are tired of the grind-for-the-sake-of-the-grind and are craving a more human, connected, and sustainable way to build success.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I didn’t start a business to become a content creator,”
“I’m exhausted by the pressure to scale,” or
“There has to be another way to do this…”
This episode will land.

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.

In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess is joined by Chelsea Quint – Business Whisperer, messaging strategist, copywriter, and host of The Resonance Effect – for a deep dive into what she calls the “trust recession.”

Together, Jess and Chelsea explore:

• What the trust recession actually is, and how it’s showing up in online business, leadership, and everyday relationships
• Why people are more risk-averse than ever – from leaving jobs to hiring, buying, or speaking up at work
• How chronic vigilance, burnout and nervous system overload are eroding our sense of safety, connection and belonging
• The tension between values, politics and business – and what it means to lead with integrity without disappearing into an echo chamber
• Disagreement vs disrespect: how to stay human, hold nuance, and keep talking when we don’t see the world the same way
• Parasocial relationships, “putting people on pedestals”, and taking responsibility for how we consume content and follow leaders online
• Practical questions to ask yourself about who you trust, who influences you, and how that shapes your leadership

If you’re a founder, leader, practitioner, or creator trying to do good work in a noisy, polarised world, this conversation will help you see why trust feels so fragile right now – and what you can do in your own sphere of influence to rebuild it.

Calm is often sold to leaders as “don’t be emotional” — especially to women and marginalised folks. But real calm isn’t about shutting down how you feel. It’s about choosing when calm serves, and when your emotion needs to be fully present in the room.

In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess unpacks The Calm Advantage as a leadership skill: not permanent zen, but regulated presence. The kind that lets you respond instead of react, hold boundaries without burning out, and anchor your team when things move fast.

We explore:

• What calm actually is (and what it’s not) in leadership
• Why choosing when to respond with calm is more powerful than staying calm at all costs
• How a regulated nervous system becomes a competitive advantage for you and your team
• The links with wellbeing and positive psychology research on emotional regulation and performance
• How designing for calm also supports autistic/ADHD brains — and why that benefits everyone, not just neurodivergent folks

This is not an episode about being “less emotional.” It’s about being more conscious — leading from a grounded state that can hold both clarity and feeling at the same time.

Listen now to explore how calm, used intentionally, can change the way you lead, relate, and make decisions.

In this throwback episode (in a video from February 2020! - before the pod even existed!) we get right to the point of misunderstandings and why what MANY people do isn't helpful (and potentially even harmful).

The answer is this... Open communication invites deeper understanding & dissolves unnecessary conflict, but you've got to lead by example.

In a world where speed is celebrated and stillness feels impossible, presence has become a leadership advantage.
In this episode, we explore what presence actually means - beyond mindfulness buzzwords - and why it’s the single most stabilising skill in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
You’ll learn how presence shapes clarity, communication, and emotional regulation, and how a leader’s state directly impacts the performance and wellbeing of their team.
We unpack the science behind why presence works - from attentional control to co-regulation - and share practical ways to bring it into your day-to-day leadership rhythm, even when time feels scarce.
Because when the pace accelerates, your presence becomes the anchor your team needs most.
