- 55. FIVE Reasons why you might need a BOOK COACH
This week I've decided to talk about why you might want a book coach… and, yes, I know not all of you are writers. I do not understand why you wouldn't be, but apparently these people exist.
To be honest, if you're not a writer, this might not be the best episode for you… except to say, I think it's worth a listen anyway. I'm talking about the top five reasons to get a book coach and you can really apply these reasons to any coaching requirement you might have…
But if you are writing a fiction or non-fiction book, essay, short story, or extended piece right now - wouldn't you know it? - I'm just launching my new 1:1 book coaching offer and I have space for FIVE new clients.
Have a listen and let me know what you think! If you're a creative business owner, writer, or someone wildly neurodivergent like me looking for some support, then get in touch - I'd love to chat to you.

27 min - 54. What if you're making yourself feel guilty for not resting?
This week I'm talking about the way we can tie ourself up in knots about rest and tell ourself we're bad and wrong for not resting.
Except, what if you're taking rest very, very literally?
What if you're resting in a way you've been told to rest, rather than in a way that actually works for your body and mind?
Let me know what you think!

30 min - 53. Why I think finding your Resting Biz Face is SO important
This week's episode is all about REST.
The reason? Well, I haven't been doing enough of it - and I'm the one who has a whole podcast all about the stuff...
So in this episode I'm chatting about the importance of resting, and how you can plug resting into your business life - rather than becoming burnt out and experiencing sensory overwhelm ALL THE TIME.
I think that rest isn't always about sitting in expensive spas or having long bubble baths - and I also think that rest isn't something you have to do at the end of the day or weekends. Rest can be something you plug into your working day - every single day!
Let's work out what your Resting Biz Face looks like! ENJOY!

57 min - 51. What to do when you need to pick back up the social media marketing
In this episode I'm talking about what to do - and yes, what I'm doing - when you need to pick back up the social media marketing after a little bit of a gap.
We've all been there - sometimes social media takes a back seat in the business and it drops out of your habits - before you know it you're posting only about gym visits, comedy reshares, and pictures of your fish and chips dinner (yes, fine... I'm the problem, it's me).
If you're struggling with the same stuff have listen this week as I'm talking about what the point of social media marketing is, what you might want to focus on when you've taken a break, and how to get reenergised for that offer or service you're selling.

About Resting Biz Face
From the publisher's feed
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.
