I've Got Your Back

Hello everyone, and welcome to season three, episode three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. I am really excited to be talking with you today about one thing I'm very passionate about and something that I truly believe positively and negatively affects all aspects of your well being, and that is alcohol.

Some of you may not know this, but I've not drank alcohol since the 1st of January 2017. I wanted to share with my story with you and the events that led up to this. Alcohol is something that's heavily involved in our culture and who we are. It's been very ingrained in us from a young age, especially growing up in Scotland and living in Australia.

This isn't me saying you mustn't drink alcohol ever again, but I believe it's so important to talk about it, so you can decide for yourself.

Remember - I've (always) got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hey pal! Welcome to season three, episode two of I've Got Your Back the podcast, which is all about wellbeing. I've invited my good friend Mark Purser on today’s podcast to talk about emotional wellbeing and mindfulness.

Mark is a Meditation and Yoga Teacher, he is passionate about teaching from the Indian lineage. He is full of wisdom and full of fun, and I had the pleasure of completing my yoga teacher training with him in Byron Bay. Mark shares his journey with mindfulness and how it’s shaped his life.

We carry so much tension in our bodies because our minds are so active all of the time. Through practicing breath work and yoga, it gives you the reset you need and helps to reprogram subconscious patterning.

It's so important that we lean into these practices more to help us focus on our overall wellbeing.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to season three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. This season is all about wellbeing, I believe this is the number one thing that all of us must master to really live a fulfilled life.

I’ve been on my own wellbeing journey for the last seven years and learned the tools that have helped me have a balance with connection to my mind, my body and my soul. When your body, mind and soul are in a good place, you can move mountains and do anything you want to do.

In this season I’m going to be speaking from my lived experience and sharing all of this with you!

The eight dimensions of wellbeing we will be covering in this season are:

Career, relationships, financial wellbeing, health and physical health, emotional wellbeing, personal development, community and belonging, physical environment... I want you to start looking at these different areas of your life and rating yourself from 1 to 10!

This is going to be a brilliant season - I love anything that can contribute to us being better humans. Enjoy... and remember, I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Hi pal, and welcome to the final episode of season two of I've Got Your Back podcast. I have the honour and pleasure of having Meg McLean with us today! Meg has been one of my best friends for many years, she helps Mums chase their goals and is the host of She Can the podcast.

Meg shares her journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial family in her younger years to becoming a full-time entrepreneur. Meg knew that she would have freedom and more time with her kids being an entrepreneur, the traditional 9-5 job wasn't for her.

This episode is jam packed full of wisdom and inspiration, as well as a lot of funny stories (including the one about getting arrested) - I can't wait for you to listen!

I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Hey, pal, welcome to season two, episode seven of I've Got Your Back the Podcast.

This episode is all about my experience in the past week, as I attended Schumacher College in Devon, England. This 5 day experience gives you light and exposure to everything that they do at the college.

It’s not your typical traditional education system, it's all about head, heart and hands on learning. Everything you do has to challenge the mind, get your heart to connect, and use your hands to learn things. I love this approach.

Satish Kumar started the college back in 1991 because he was so frustrated with the education system and it not being fit for purpose, which I agree with him in so many ways. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Schumacher College, I highly recommend it.

When you're working for something that you believe in, that you know is going to make a difference, it’s meaningful and is going to make a positive impact, that is creating love and beauty in the world.

I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Today I’m going to be having a conversation with you around 3 key topics that have been coming up a lot recently. So the first thing I wanted to talk about is portfolio career and having a portfolio career. The second, is changing up your environment as an entrepreneur to create inspiration and new opportunities. And lastly, I wanted to talk about the entrepreneurs curse too, this is something that I'm very aware of and I'm very well aware of other people struggling with this as well.

I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Hi pal, and welcome to season two episode five of I've Got Your Back podcast.

I'm excited to bring you today's episode, where I am joined by my amazing friend Louise Skipper, from Scotland. Me and Louise have been in business together now for almost 14 years! This is a jam-packed conversation about her extraordinary journey from full time employee to full time entrepreneur and how she is continuing to cultivate her entrepreneurial spirit.  

This episode is especially for you mums out there. Seeing Louise run multiple business and income streams, as well as being a wife, mum of 3 and women of faith is so inspiring! 

Also, remember to download my Yoga Nidra gift to you (20 minutes of this practice is the equivalent of 3 hours deep sleep). 

As always, I've got your back.

Love,

Michelle.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to season two of I've Got Your Back the podcast.

It’s been a hard, certainly emotional week this week. One of my really good friends, Chris, who I met in Australia, took his own life a week ago. He really struggled with his mental health. It was a massive shock and hit me physically, emotionally, mentally. I had to take the time out to feel those emotions and go through it.

I wanted to bring you an episode on how to navigate the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur when a personal thing happens, or when something significant happens in your business.

I will be covering a couple of things that have really helped me throughout the years. By making sure you have multiple streams of income, this prepares you for impact and ensures your income doesn't stop. Life is going to throw you all kinds of things, whether it's good, whether it's bad, it's better to be prepared by having structure, systems, and multiple income streams within your business.

Cultivate the relationships of your support crew, both from business and a personal point of view will help immensely. Make sure you're always protecting your mindset daily too; this means that the highs and the lows are not going to be as extreme.

I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Hi pal! Welcome I've Got Your Back the podcast season two!

Today I wanted to talk to you about the mindset phases and different stages of entrepreneurship. Within my journey I went from a traditional employee through to being a social entrepreneur over many years. I want to share with you the different mindsets that I went through and the different stages of entrepreneurship that I had to move through. I will be teaching from my own lived experience throughout this episode.

The two mindsets we tend to operate from is the fixed growth mindset or benefit mindset.

I believe that most people are in a fixed mindset which is not necessarily through their own fault or awareness. I realise through observing the system and education system, we’re a by-product of what we have been taught. We grew up with the system telling us when we start learning, the subjects we will learn, when we had our lunch break and when we would leave – just like a clock in, clock out 9 to 5.

Whatever stage you're at, I want to help you work through the mindsets. When you work through these different stages in your mind, you will be able to fast track to becoming a social entrepreneur full time.

If we can all start to embody the benefit mindset and operate from that place every single day, it allows us to create amazing businesses that will benefit all. I’m a strong believer in this.

I look forward to going on this journey with you!

I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.

Hey pal! Welcome to episode two, season two of I've Got Your Back the podcast which is all about entrepreneurship! In episode one I share a lot of my journey moving from a full-time employee to full time social entrepreneur. There’s been many lessons in all those years but today I wanted to share my 8 key lessons.

As you're building your business, whatever stage you're at in this cycle, always remember it's about being in service to others. When you help other people, you're going to help the planet, you're going to help communities. It’s huge ripple effect.

As always, I've got your back.

Love,

Michelle.
