Offline, The Podcast

Dearest you.I have over 1,000 voice mentoring memos on my phone that I've recorded over the last handful of years for co-creators inside Offline spaces like serve. This is one of them.A co-creator asked me what strategic documents she can have in place to hold her through the wobbles that come with being in business. My response might surprise you. I share how to move beyond rigid strategies and into inner stability, how to practice daily contact with your Highest Vision and how to steward your business through financial ebbs and flows without abandoning yourself or the business itself.The Highest Vision Worksheet I reference in this episode is here.What you'll learn:Why clarity of vision and a mission for your money matters more than rigid strategyThe daily energetic practices that make your Highest Vision feel inevitableHow to use minimum viable, median and True Self Success salaries as responsive financial toolsThe importance of reserves, rhythms and quarterly reviews in building financial resilienceHow to hold yourself — and your business — through the dips without collapsing or constantly starting overI hope this one helps you on your way.Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.I have over 1,000 voice mentoring memos on my phone that I've recorded over the last handful of years for co-creators inside Offline spaces like serve.

There's also some great insight into how to accept the season we're in, and how to let our manager know we need more support without coming across as incompetent.I hope this 30-minute listen helps you on your way.Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.Welcome to part two of my honest conversation with founder of McMullin, Alice McMullin. In part one, we traversed the tensions and complexities we carry as mothers, founders, business owners and creatives. Here in part two, we get into the business and community building bits. We discuss what thoughtful scale looks like for a brand built upon restraint and intentionality, and we even have a mini strategy session that I suspect might evolve into something quite special for both of our brands. Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.Alice McMullin is the founder and creative director of McMullin, an Australian furniture studio founded upon the principle of simple, considered, timeless and sustainable design.I had no less than 20 questions ready for Alice, but it turns out I didn’t need them. We didn’t need them. This, to me, is the sign of an honest conversation. It’s something that unfolds. Two people who trust each other enough to go where they’re being led.We had a very long chat so I’m running this conversation in two parts. Part one is all about the tensions and complexities we carry as mothers, founders, business owners and creatives.Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.This episode is for everyone but it’s most especially for the conscious builders, makers, creators, service providers, founders, freelancers (or soon-to-be because I know you’re thinking about it and yes, I think you should!), business owners and leaders.It’s for those who want to stay true in a world that increasingly feels false. Pre-generated. Automated. Streamlined. Optimised. Without soul.We are being asked to build, create, serve and lead in a time of massive technological change. Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon. It’s here in the room with us and as much as we might want to avoid it because of what it could mean for humanity, the highest call right now as awake and aware individuals is to turn towards it fully, allow ourselves to stretch to its edges and see what we discover there. Join me.Alison xoAccess the Being In Right Relationship With Artificial Intelligence Workbook herefree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you. The best episodes are the conversations where I don’t ask any of the questions I had on my list. This is one of them.Megan deBoer is a wealth doula, mother, maker and caretaker. In this episode we explore what it looks like and feels like to land in our innate deservingness. What does that mean? It means closing the gap between what we're currently receiving and what we intrinsically deserve. More money, more opportunities, more responsibility, more impact. Megan is a light in an otherwise pretty dark corner of the self development space: Money.I hope you adore our very honest conversion and if you want to join a future season of Off—, express interest here.Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.Goodbye Girl Boss. The new era of entrepreneurship is here and it's service-led, life-giving and seasonal.We are not here to work more than we live or to be contained to a rigid 9-5 schedule that leaves us very little free time to follow our bliss. We are here to experience everything our one, big life has to offer and to contribute to the evolution of all things along the way. The system we've been conditioned to subscribe to simply can't support our fullness and our wholeness. It can't move with the natural and intrinsic seasons and cycles that exist within a diverse and expressed life.So it's time to build our own system. It's time to believe in our innate resourcefulness and our ability to successfully work for ourselves.I hope you say yes to my annual 12-week business program, serve.

Dearest you. This episode is part of my long-running Self Care Sundays mini-series in partnership with Estée Lauder. For the past four years, I’ve sat down with some of the brand’s local ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care, skincare and success.In keeping with this season’s theme of checking-in with past guests, today I am curled up on the lounge with Nadia Fairfax-Wayne — a leading Australian creative, fashion influencer and the editor of Fairfax Journal. A lot has happened in the four years between honest conversations. She got engaged, married, converted to her husband’s religion, bought a home, renovated and decorated it, broke up with a close friend (a life event that led her to therapy) and so much more. I wanted to talk about it all.We hope you love it and that it feels like you’re in the room with us.Alison xofree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.Imagine a professional reality that is entirely unsubscribed from hustle culture, comparison and the relentless pursuit of a definition of success that no longer feels true for you. Imagine waking up every single day feeling like you’re living a life you’ve chosen, and that the shape of your day is weighted evenly between meeting your own needs, the needs of the people you love and the needs of the business you work for or the one you own. And that on some days, there’s no need at all. There’s just rest. Play. Pleasure.This can be real and I know this to be true because I am living this professional reality. I’ve gone from hustling and grinding to a level of grounded that makes me walk and talk slow. From pushing my career in a particular direction to simply letting it unfold. From over-analysing my next move to trusting that what's meant for me won't miss me. From feeling like I was compromising my values to now leading a thriving business that is built on my values.The moment I realised what I was doing for a living was no longer a fit with how I wanted to be living and what I wanted my life to represent, I knew I had to be an agent of change. I knew I had to define my own highest vision and move in the direction of it despite what other people might think.What is your Highest Vision and will you let me help you realise it?Alison xoMake a copy of my Highest Vision Worksheet herefree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you. An honest conversation with Maeva Heim. When Maeva Heim and I first sat down for an honest conversation in 2019, her texture-inclusive haircare brand, Bread, was still an idea yet to be realised. She was halfway through Seophora’s Accelerate program and four years later, we’re having a very different conversation.Maeva went on to secure investment and launch Bread (during the pandemic no less) and is now stocked exclusively in Sephora in Australia and multiple beauty retailers in the US including Ulta and Cult Beauty. She shares so many rich insights and learnings from her journey in this episode. Some highlights include:Why she believes it is actually about who you know not what you knowWhat she did to build her network from knowing no-one in the industry to meeting the haircare buyer at Sephora in the StatesWhat investors are looking for in pre-launch businessesHer take on the role our work should play in our livesWhy not everyone is built to work in a start-upStepping up as a leader and CEOWhy operating in 2022 was harder than operating in the pandemic Her observations on the VC space right now We had a lot of fun the second time around. Hope we offer you a lot of insight and also some giggles. Alison xoThe site I referenced is www.brandingstyleguides.comfree resources & offerings.Artificial Intelligence WorkbookHighest Vision WorkbookWhatsApp Communityserve Express InterestInstagramSubstack Hosted on Acast.
