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.

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.

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 leaders
• Why leadership behaviour sets the tone for workplace culture
• The role of communication, trust, and self-reflection in managing psychosocial risks
• Why one-size-fits-all wellbeing approaches often miss the mark
• How middle managers shape day-to-day safety and culture
• The importance of proactive check-ins — not “set and forget” frameworks
• How strong people practices support retention, resilience, and business performance

This 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.
