À propos de cet audio

Scenic Route is a mental health and social change podcast for perfectionists, overthinkers, and high-achievers who are tired of holding it all together.

If you're burned out from performing, people-pleasing, and pretending everything's fine — this is your space to finally exhale.

Hosted by sociologist and recovering perfectionist Jennifer Walter (MA Sociology, University College Cork) — navigating chronic illness whilst rebuilding life in her 40s and rethinking what resilience actually means.

We talk about:
Mental health without the toxic positivity
Real tools for anxiety, burnout, and the inner critic

Social change that starts within
Feminism, capitalism, and how your healing is political

Mindfulness for sceptics
No crystals, no BS, just what actually works

Expect solo deep-dives, expert guests, and the occasional bit of potty humour because healing doesn't have to be so damn serious all the time.

This podcast is for you if:
You're questioning so many things and trying to stay hopeful
You're done with perfectionism but still want to grow
You believe inner work and activism go hand in hand

New episodes every Tuesday.

The longest way round is the shortest way home. That's why we're taking the Scenic Route.

Start with the latest episode — or jump into whatever speaks to you.

  • Weekly Affirmation – Letting Go
    Dec 12 2025

    Pause for a breath you didn't know you were holding.

    This soft landing is for the woman who's been holding it together so well that no one thinks to ask if she's okay.

    This week's affirmation:
    "The strategies, steps, decisions that got me here served their purpose — I release them with grace."

    You don't have to carry what no longer fits. You don't have to make letting go mean you failed.

    What got you here won't always get you where you're going. And that's okay.

    This weekend, ask yourself: What am I holding onto simply because it once worked?

    Thank it. And let it go.

    New Soft Landings every Friday. Save this. Share it. Come back to it when you need the reminder. 🤍



    About Soft Landings:
    Every Friday on The Scenic Route, one grounded affirmation to help you rest, reset, and remember who you are.

  • Something's Off And It's Not Your Vision Board: The Capacity Conundrum
    Dec 9 2025

    You've done the vision boards. Set the goals. Showed up with discipline. And still – something feels off.

    If you're a high achiever who's done all the things and still doesn't feel like you've arrived, this one's for you.

    Jessica Eley breaks down why smart, driven women stay stuck even when they know what they want. Spoiler: it's not your vision, your strategy, or your discipline. It's your capacity – your ability to handle not just what you want, but everything that comes with it.

    We talk about:

    • Why "I don't know what I want" is about being unpracticed, not broken
    • The real reason you might be more afraid of success than failure
    • Why labelling things good/bad keeps you small
    • How your nervous system determines your income ceiling
    • The balance between owning what you want and having the capacity to handle it


    This Episode Is For You If:

    • You've done the vision board thing and you're still stuck
    • You hit your goals and felt... nothing
    • You want more but can't seem to let yourself reach for it
    • You're tired of being the strong one but don't know how to be different
    • You keep trying new strategies but the same patterns keep showing up
    • You're doing everything right and still feel like something's missing
    • You're starting to wonder if the problem isn't your plan — it's something no one's named yet

    This isn't about manifesting harder or the next manifestation hack. It's about meeting yourself where you are and building from there.

  • Weekly Affirmation – The Good Daughter
    Dec 5 2025

    Pause for a breath you didn't know you were holding.

    This soft landing is for the woman who's been holding it together so well that no one thinks to ask if she's okay.

    The affirmation:
    "I am allowed to disappoint people and still be good."

    Goodness isn't measured by how much access others have to you, but by how honestly you honour your limits.

    We examine why performance – the relentless yes, the full calendar, the reflex to fix – feels like safety, yet slowly erases our needs. And why boundaries aren't conflict. They're clarity.

    For perfectionists, oldest daughters, people-pleasers, and women unlearning the performance of strength.

    Choose yourself without apologising, so your next yes can be wholehearted.
