In this special episode, Katy shares a sneak peek of her latest winter candle collection and discusses the lessons she's learning from her latest entrepreneurial adventure. Jenna tests out her nose as she guesses the complexities of the winter scents (often very incorrectly.)
Plus, Katy shares her experience with the creative process, as well as insights she's gathering as she heads into her "personal new year." Katy leaves us with an invitation to make time for a self-date every day and to prioritize things that feel good.

We are subsisting on two things this Thanksgiving week: Vibes and Sides.
Jenna shares an energizing week where the Universe kept showing up with magical gifts, including a powerful thank-you card, a Radiohead song, beautiful artwork, northern lights and time with friends and family.
Plus, Jenna shares how running on Vitamin V (vibes) has been expanding her perspective and encouraging her to not take life too seriously. She attributes her high Vitamin V to her ongoing gratitude practice and invites us to use the week of Thanksgiving to share gratitude with ten people.
Also, we come up with a menu for her new restaurant which mostly includes cheesy potatoes and butter.

It's one thing to name your values, it's another thing to make choices each day to align with them. Jenna explains how our aligned choices lead to an authentic life.
But how the heck do we know if we're making these choices?! Jenna invites us to embody our values by putting them through three filters:
Actions: What does it look like when I live into this value? What are the behaviors and choices I am making?
Feelings: When I'm living this value, what emotions do I experience? How would I describe the feelings it creates?
Beliefs: What do I believe about myself, others and the world when I am deeply aligned with this value?
And there's one more secret filter to super-charge your self awareness in each of these areas!
Plus, Jenna talks about the allure of influencers sharing their morning routines and how our values give us clues to create habits that are actually sustainable, fun and don't require rigid 5 a.m. workouts (unless you're into that kind of thing).

It's spooky season, and Jenna is getting into the spirit with a deep dive into the things that truly haunt us.
What if your haunted house isn't full of ghosts, but is instead a person constantly checking their smartwatch? Jenna shares how the little things that bother us are often clues to our core values and even our deepest fears.
She shares highlights from her 10-Day Gratitude Challenge, a riveting weekend of household chores, and how she's embracing cozy season in advance of the impending early nightfall.
This week, learn how to:
Uncover your values by exploring your "energy vampires"
Ask yourself, "what else might be true?" when you feel yourself slipping into negativity
Face the scary monster that is standing between you and the life you want, because as they say, "everything you want is on the other side of fear."
Join Jenna to turn your pet peeves and anxieties into powerful self-awareness!

Jenna shares highlights from her October quest to "be here now," and reminds us that our idiosyncrasies are our superpowers, and prioritizing them is the fastest path to joy!
She shares the supportive, joyful choices she’s making —from listening to mellow fall music and advocating for Towelie, to making crispy veggies in the air fryer and trying new breweries.
Prepare for a bizarre story about the recurring dream city Jenna's been visiting for over 20 years, and her wild discovery that thousands of others are sharing the exact same experience in a phenomenon called Mall World.
Jenna uncovers another source for discovering your personal core values and invites us to join the 10-Day Gratitude Challenge to test the hypothesis.
Also Jenna wants to know your fave Trader Joe's frozen food, and your fall music recs! Drop her a line: jenna@inwithcoaching.com

Do you feel like you've achieved everything you're supposed to but still feeling a little empty and meh? It might be time to revise your definition of success!
Jenna shares her personal journey of realizing her high-achiever lifestyle didn't lead to a destination of happiness, and the deliberate (and often painful work) to flip the script. Success is an inside job!
In this episode, we talk about:
The Trap of External Validation: Why we hustle to prove our worth to others and how this mindset sets us up for continuous failure.
The Power of Your "Being" Side: How to separate your identity from your accomplishments and tap into your inherent awesomeness.
Jenna's 4-Step Process for redefining success, starting with believing in your own inherent worth and ending with attracting abundance.
Making Success an Inside Job: Recognizing that joy and fulfillment in the present moment are success, not just a stepping stone to a future destination.
Plus Jenna leaves us with some reflections to investigate our definition of success, and shares an exciting upcoming workshop in KC you won't want to miss.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, definitely not because of all the Pumpkin Spice nonsense.
Jenna discusses her practice of using the month of October as a bridge between summer and winter, and focusing 31 days on stuff that's important to her - like vegetables, friendships and sick triceps.
She shares a moment at a concert where she disappeared into the future and how the mantra, "Be Here Now," is helping her appreciate the present moment.
Plus, Jenna announces her appearance at the "She Who Rises" Summit and encourages you to check it out here

Out with the old, in with the YOU
My name is Jenna Washnieski and I'm a leadership coach helping you discover more confidence in leadership and more balance in life.
I've spent over a decade in or working alongside executive leadership, and have developed a bunch of strategies (and some big opinions) about leadership, workplace culture and the importance of creating your own definitions of balance and success.
This podcast is for anyone who knows deep down they're designed for something bigger or more in their lives, and are ready to figure out what the heck it is and what's stopping them.
Just because this work is challenging doesn't mean it can't be fun!
