Celebrity stylist Jess Pecoraro on feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

11/20/21 • 52 min

This episode is part of my ongoing Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder. I sit down with some of the brand’s inspiring ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care and success.

My next guest is the perfect example of this idea that we need to get comfortable with discomfort when it comes to evolving professionally. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Jess Pecoraro is one of Australia’s most in-demand celebrity stylists, and during the pandemic, like so many others, executed a brilliant pivot. She co-founded a styling subscription platform called Selected. What she didn’t anticipate, though, was how hard it would be to come out from behind the scenes, to lead the scene.

Also, the unique challenge anyone who is wanting to move into online learning and education faces: How to create a methodology for that which is just simply felt and known.

In this episode, Jess shares her journey from magazine intern to styling the likes of Pip Edwards, Delta Goodrem and Jesinta Campbell. She opens up about choosing a redundancy package over re-applying for her role, how she overcame her fear of public speaking and presenting, why confidentiality is a key contributor to her success and the role she believes fashion plays in our lives.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Previous Episode

Sah D’Simone on why altruism is the ultimate business strategy.

My next guest is someone my sister suggested I follow a while back, and I’ve been obsessed with his signature style of spirituality even since.

Sah D’Simone is a Brazilian-born meditation teacher based in Venice Beach, California. He’s also a bestselling author, transformational speaker and coach.

He’s worked with the likes of Kanye West, Cardi B and Google, but as you’ll soon hear, those names were never on his career vision board. For Sah, True Self Success starts and ends in service.

Sah developed his personal equation for liberation through desperation. He said that even in some of the most enlightened rooms in the world, he experienced the same kinds of psychological and verbal oppression he experienced in the non-spiritual rooms in his life. So he created the Spiritually Sassy method, which, in its simplest form, helps people be themselves. It’s been described as a life-embracing path to awakening in modern times.

There’s so much for us to learn in this episode. He talks about starting and growing a spiritual business, learning to dance with fear and the uncertainty that comes with entrepreneurship, how to create from a place of abundance vs. scarcity, altruism as the ultimate strategy and so much more.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Next Episode

Juliet Allen on how she uses visualisation & sex magic to grow her business.

#Jalison is back. If you’ve listened to my first and second honest conversation with Juliet Allen, you’ll know about our cute nickname. We became fast friends after our first recording session and now I probably talk to Juliet more than I do Tony during the day. We’re both deep in our motherhood season and we also have really similar businesses, so we exchange voice texts all day about everything from what bibs we’re using, to what we’re currently creating and what we’re having for dinner. It’s nice. I think we keep each other sane.

If you don’t know about Juliet, she’s Australia’s leading sexologist and the founder of Pleasure School, The Juliet Pleasure Wand and Yinn. Body.

The last two times she’s been my guest, we’ve spoken about sex. This time, I invited her back on to talk about how she’s built and grown such a pioneering and progressive business, but also, to share what life and work looked like before the Juliet Allen we know today. She’s worked so hard to get where she is so I want you to keep that in mind.

Slow, meaningful, deliberate.

In this episode, we talk about authentic expression over having a social media strategy, how leaving a financially secure situation was the moment her business began to thrive, productising her brand and generating new income streams, how she uses sex magic, visualisation and manifestation to reach her goals, and why success has nothing to do with the amount of money in her bank account.

Juliet has been a huge expander for so many of us who want to use our unique gifts to serve, and to make a living while we do it. A big thank you to Juliet for opening up so we can all learn.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.
