In this episode I'm chatting about the world of gamification - that's turning boring tasks into games, or adding more pleasure and playfulness into your work in order to keep it interesting, or to keep you on task.

Alright, this one is a little cringe - in that it's getting into some big love for my business coach, Shannon Whaley, who I just signed up with for another SIX MONTHS of support.
It's been great to look again at what it is like to be coached and consider the FIVE BENEFITS of being supported.
This is useful, I hope, if you're thinking about getting coached or if you're a coach yourself.
If you're writing a book at the moment, I've got THREE places left on my Write with Fire 1:1 book coaching programme - so hit me up and let's chat!

It doesn't matter if you're running a business that sells a service - like coaching - or a product - like your book, you'll know what it's like to feel as if you're in a sales slump.
In this episode, I'm chatting about ways you can take the attention away from yourself and get reenergised and selling again.
And, if you're looking for ways to take your writing from the imaginary to your reader's hand, get in touch and we can chat about how I support writers in the business of making their art in my new six month 1:1 book coaching programme - Write with Fire.
Expect coaching around writing, time management, plot and getting visible on line in a way that works for you.
I only have THREE spots left at the time of releasing this podcast, so if you're interested, get in touch and let's jump on a call.
In the meantime, enjoy!

In this week's episode I'm talking about the power of delusion.... yep, that's right.
Ok, so I'm not a mental health professional. I'm talking about the power of visualising who you want to be, what you want to do, your GOAL and imaging you've already got there. That sort of delusion.
I'm not advocating you tell yourself you're a millionaire if you're not and then go spend like that. Or pretending you can fly a plane when you can't. Because, that probably isn't a good thing.
But delusion - telling yourself you get to have the goal, and that it's - heck - already there - that's a whole mindset thing. And it changed my LIFE.
Want to chat about how to apply this to your business, or help you get that writing FINISHED? Jump on a call with me. xx

This week I'm talking about the power of deciding!
Deciding that it gets to work! Deciding that you get to do what it is that you do. Exploring your feelings and monitoring your self-talk while also being fabulously optimistic as f*ck and as "naive" as you darn well want.
YEP it's time to decide.
ENJOY!

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…
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.
