About Resting Biz Face

Welcome to the Resting Biz Face Podcast. Who said you had to pick just one thing? If you're a writer, creative business owner or service provider who’s tired of being told to niche down, slow down or pick a lane, you're in the right place. I’m Michelle Allen: writer, producer, creative consultant, and trainee personal trainer... aka the Infinite Upstart. I’m also the co-founder of Ironclad Creative, a Community Interest Company supporting writers and theatre-makers in the business of making art. I’m wildly neurodivergent, multi-passionate, and (surprise!) often very much in need of rest. Resting hasn’t always come easy, especially when my brain wants to do everything all at once. But what I’ve learned, and what I share here, is that you can do lots of things your way, on your terms, and still build a sustainable, satisfying, income-generating life. This podcast is about finding your rhythm, not someone else’s formula. I’ll share mindset reframes, thought awareness tools, creative prompts, and business strategy that blend structure with spaciousness. It’s about building a creative work life that’s actually liveable, one that makes space for ambition and rest, ideas and boundaries, doing and not-doing. So if you’re building a creative life with a lot going on, and you want more income, more clients, and more creativity without the burnout, overwhelm or boredom, come rest your biz face here! Let’s do it differently. Together.

   125. BTS - How planning is different from DOING... and other thoughts...

   Well, that was a little bit of an unintentional month off. I finished the personal training course.. (yay me!) got a cold or two (boo!) and did a bit of travelling about (ooo nice)… but, did I podcast? Nope. This week's episode is LISTEN only - I didn't filming it… but it's an EPIC (if I do say so myself) it's a Behind the Scenes as I do some work to mull through some big changes in my business, how to there's a difference between PLANNING, and DOING. It's about allowing yourself ...

   123. The Resting Biz Face Schedule

   Everyone loves a new system... and I’m no exception. But this one’s different. In this episode of Resting Biz Face, I’m talking about the Resting Biz Face Schedule. It's a simple way I’ve been planning my days that’s helping me see how my brain actually works, without trying to fix it. It’s not about hacks or hustle or ADHD Productivity Hacks (yuk!). It’s about planning, awareness, and rest. About getting curious instead of critical. Because sometimes the smartest system needs more mindset th...
