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, and she is joining me inside the next season of my conscious career and business mentorship space, Off—, which I am very pleased to tell you is officially open for enrolments today. We’ll be gathering just once in 2024 so if this conversation feels true for you, then this is the season for you.  The theme we will be expanding into inside Off— is Land in Your Deservingness. What does that mean? It means closing the gap between what you’re currently receiving and what you intrinsically deserve. More money — whether that be a pay rise or raising your rates. More opportunities. More responsibility — a promotion or becoming more for and to your clients. More impact. There really isn’t another voice or guide I’d want to usher this season in with. 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 I most especially hope you join us inside Off—.

Dearest you.This episode was recorded live at Sundays Offline, Brisbane on November 11, 2023. Jasmine and I catch up on what we've both moved through in the four years between honest conversations. We explore the lessons life has offered us and Jasmine shares some very good news. We hope you adore our chat and that you feel like you are right there in the room with us. I’d love to send my sincerest thanks to: Cass and Newstead Studios for hosting Offline once again in your beautiful creative spaceMy cherished co-creator Kymberly Louise for your effortless and calm event management style.

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.Alison xohttps://getoffline.co/serveEnrolments open in November for a late January startEverything is recorded and you'll have access to the serve learning portal for the entire year Hosted on Acast.

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 xo—It would be an honour to help you on your way.Stay close and supported by signing up to my email list.

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 xoOff— enrolment page: www.getoffline.co/off Email me directly with any questions: support@getoffline.co Listening after July 2023?

Dearest you. 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 xoShop Bread Follow Maeva on InstagramThe site I referenced is www.brandingstyleguides.com—It would be an honour to help you on your way.Stay close and supported by signing up to my email list.

Dearest you. If you’re an entrepreneur or business leader, you’ll know how many business mentors, coaches and courses are out there selling you success. It’s noisy and a lot of the advice is conflicting.This episode is an opportunity for us to lean out of all of that noise and learn from an elder in conscious and ethical business. Jeannie Bourke has been running her beauty and body lab Venustus through the lens of her ethics, her morals and her values for over 30 years. It has been a heart-first business with a deep and intentional why long before people were writing entire books about it and calling it a strategy. There’s so much goodness in this one:How to attract, train and retain a 10-year teamHow she’s taken the wisdom, tools and techniques she’s learnt over 40 years and literally infused them into the walls and floors of her new space (which opens this month!)How she uses her body as a compass in businessThe benefits of conscious business owners getting comfortable with money and earning itWhy not everything needs to scale and how this can actually become a barrier to our long-term impactUnpacking the concept of failure when our ideas are channeled — did we fail or were we early?Thank you for being here.Alison xoExplore Venustus —It would be an honour to help you on your way.Stay close and supported by signing up to my email list.

Dearest you. The first time I sat down with doctor, rocket scientist, author and zero waste life advocate, Dr. Anita Vandyke, she was looking ahead to a bright and exciting future with her husband James and daughter Vivian. She was close to graduating from medical school and had just written her second book, The Zero Waste Family. But just two years on, things look quite different. Today, Anita’s list of titles includes widow. Devastatingly, she lost her husband James to cancer in late 2022. He was just 40 years old. If you’re a regular listener of this sweet and stable podcast, you’ll know that some of my most connected episodes are the ones birthed during or after a significant life experience. At the time of recording and releasing this episode, that life experience is the passing of my beautiful mum and the grief that has followed. This honest conversation is dedicated to James and to my mum. It’s also dedicated to every person who can no longer smell, touch and hear someone they love. It’s for anyone who wants to learn how to be someone to the person left behind. What to say. What to do. How to be there and catch them in the oceanic swell that is loss.Thank you Anita for allowing the deep well of grief you hold for James to spill over so we can hear it and feel it and hopefully, help you carry it. Alison xoP.S. I am sorry about the interference… we recorded in person at Anita’s home and I think our pesky mobile phones tried to get involved.Follow Dr. Anita Vandyke on Instagram— Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career or business? My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you. This episode is a bit of a full circle moment for me. Caitlin and Anna interviewed me back in 2018 for what was then a soon-to-launch podcast but is now the very well established Lady Brains. I was still working in publishing and I had begun recording for Offline but it was still my little secret so to be sitting here five years later having an honest conversation about the texture and terrain we’ve all moved through as podcasters and founders is a real honour. Like, we did it! We're still here!We had what I think is a really uncommon and kind of complex conversation about being a founder while also helping other founders. While we serve very differently, we share many of the same challenges and experiences.I am proud of this conversation because it feels like the antidote to polish and shine of typical founder interviews. We don’t talk in grabs and we take time to think about what we want to say. There’s lot of purposeful pauses. Maybe it is just me, but this feels very compelling and encouraging as we come out of the era that hurt more of us than it helped — Girl Boss and the grind culture that came with it. We hope you love out very honest conversation and that it allows you a moment to lean out and make contact with something real and unscripted. Thank you for being here.Alison xoListen to Lady Brains Follow Lady Brains— Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career? My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you. A gentle warning upfront. This episode covers difficult topics like pregnancy loss, infertility and navigating the death of a parent while becoming a parent.  I never expect the stories and experiences my guests hold closest to their hearts but I am always grateful when they gift them to us. This episode is no exception — Leigh and I really go there on some pieces and while an emotional listen at times, I know we both believe so necessary to bring the context and complexity to lives that otherwise look perfect and pain-free from the outside. We hope you love our chat and know you’ll hold us in our shares. Some are sweet, some are silly, some are brave, some act as an example of our privilege and some are so raw they make us want to take it back. Alison xoThe 3 Step Breast CheckFollow Leigh on InstagramShop Leigh’s business baby, Brillo Beauty— Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career or business? My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you.If you follow Nadine Jane Astrology on Instagram, you’ll know that she went away for a little while. Her absence was very felt on my feed and I thought about her often. I wondered if she was ok, and I hoped she’d be back creating her signature style of intuitive, soft and highly emotive astrology content. So you can imagine the smile on my face when I was presented with the opportunity to sit down with Nadine once again — three years after our first honest conversation. She’s such a joy to interview but I was also just so curious to ask her about the last couple of years. Where has she been? Why did she take a break? What did she do and how did it all feel?As you’ll soon learn, our favourite New York City astrologer (currently residing in country Maine) experienced the very thing she’s guided many of us through — her Saturn Return. For Nadine, this significant astrological event brought with it something unexpected. It turned the lights out on her love affair with astrology and as someone who channels, what that meant was she lost her signal. Nadine and I explore what that was like, the other areas of growth her Saturn Return brought on, how it impacted the book she’d signed on to write and has since been published (Magic Days, her 800-page masterpiece), her evolved relationship with astrology and her body, and her cosmic weather report for this year. If you’ve been thinking about making a brave decision, you’re going to like what she has to say.Thank you for being here. Alison xo Follow Nadine on Instagram Buy Magic Days or gift it to someone you love — Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career or business?  My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you. Eleanor Pendleton, Sara Crampton and Beck Wadworth are three of Australia’s most successful women’s lifestyle influencers but they’re also three women I am grateful to call my friends. It’s been years between honest conversations and like so many of you, the four of us have moved through a lot — sustaining businesses during a global pandemic, pregnancy and sadly, pregnancy loss, birth, the first months and years of motherhood, terminally ill parents, the death of someone we love and the grief that follows — all while doing our best to show up for our teams, our communities and business’ missions. The girls and I put it all on the table and we hope in doing that, we provide you with a rich entry point into feeling more seen and heard within your own life experiences. Thank you for being here. Alison xo Follow Eleanor on Instagram or visit www.grittypretty.com.au Follow Sara on Instagram or visit www.theundone.com Follow Beck on Instagram or visit www.anorganisedlife.com  — Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career or business?  My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you. A very warm welcome to season eight of this beautiful and ever-evolving podcast. This episode is part of a brand-new series called Checking In With, where I touch base with some of Offline’s earliest guests to hear how they’re doing today, what they’ve moved through since we last spoke and of course, how their definition of success has evolved in and around the rich texture of their life experiences. This very first checking-in episode is with one of my best friends, Zoe Marshall. She was Offline’s fourth guest way back in season one. Zoe is my emotionally safe friend and while I didn’t realise it when I asked her to record with me, that’s really what this episode is about – friendship – and how important it is as aware and ambitious people that we have those emotionally safe relationships that we can fall backwards into when we’re being stretched to a new edge. I hope you adore this season’s honesty. I hope you feel the joy and the pleasure and the play I’m actively seeking following what has been a really hard couple of years. I also hope you adore the explorations into the darker spaces life leads my guests and I into as we seek to land more deeply into our True Self.Thank you for being here.Alison xo Listen to Zoe’s podcast, The DeepFollow Zoe on Instagram  — Are you feeling the pull to make contact with your True Self and define your highest vision for your career or business?  My invitation to you is to move beyond curiosity and into intentional action.

Dearest you.Enrolments to join us for our next three months inside Off— are now open. Off— is a conscious professional development space that exists to help you live out a professional reality that feels nourishing, sustainable, purposeful and true. You deserve this. We all do.Our work isn’t supposed to leave us feeling burnt out, disappointed or hopeless. What we do for a living should be a productive outlet for our fulfillment, not the source of our fulfillment itself. This is one of the biggest lessons I teach inside this expanding professional development container — how to create space between who you are and what you do, and how serving from that place will evolve and elevate your definition of success. Three months of conscious professional development and community. You set the pace. Everything is recorded. Off— is professional development like you’ve never experienced it before. No more hustling. No more grinding. Just simply arriving at your highest professional expression. Enrolments for our August, September, October intake are open until midnight on Friday, July 29. I hope you say yes.Explore or enrol here: www.getoffline.co/off Alison xo—P.S.The title of this episode is a small part of the moving testimonial Melissa sent me after her first three months inside our space. More from Melissa:  “If you feel that the structures and systems we've learned to subscribe to don't support the truest version of yourself and you're looking to consciously expand your career then I encourage you to become a co-creator inside Off— with us.  "It's part learning, part mentorship, part brainstorming, sharing and exploring but at its essence Off— is a community. The energy inside this space is beautiful and you will feel held. When you're having one of those days and a voice memo from Alison drops in, it is the perfect reminder to take a breath and recognise that you know how to align your profession with your essence. “When I first logged into the space and started to explore, The Greatest Showman was on TV. The song 'This Is Me' has special meaning. Jeannie Bourke sent it to me after a treatment at a time when I was really struggling at work. It almost felt like a little sign that Off— was exactly where I was meant to be, knowing that without her as your first guest on the podcast I might not have found Offline and all the things since.  “I listened to it again today and the words made me think a lot about what I wanted to say as part of my testimonial but especially this: ‘I know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious.’” — Melissa — Alison Rice acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the country on which she creates today, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.

Dearest you. Welcome back to part two of my honest conversation with a teacher of mine, Matt Ringrose. Matt initiated me as a Vedic Meditator in late 2018, and he’s been a steady counsel in my life ever since. If you’d like to start with part one, here it is. Having a conversation with Matt is never linear, and that’s what I’ve loved most about our chats over the years. In this most recent sit down, we discuss the powerful technique of letting go — something we are inviting you to learn how to do — and more specifically, what becomes possible when we let go of our professional attachments and the definitions of success that don’t serve our highest possible growth and evolution. This episode begins when we were discussing how our expectations of life, work, business and self evolve as our state of consciousness evolves and increases. Which is perfect and relevant, but for me personally has sometimes had a bit of a melancholy flavour to it. He also explains why acquiring things like cars, houses or even a private island aren’t the throughway to lasting fulfillment. Hope this one helps you on your way.Alison xoP.S. Matt spent close to a year developing a guided online course called Learn to Let Go and just like Vedic Meditation, it was a transformative learning experience for me so we decided how wonderful to share it with all of you. Our invitation to study with Matt is sprinkled throughout both episodes, but if you miss anything, all of the information you need is detailed here: Enrol in Matt’s upcoming Learn to Let Go course here: https://bondimeditation.com.au/learn-to-let-go Please enjoy the code OFFLINE10 for 10 percent offFollow Bondi Meditation Centre on Instagram — Offline is a resource for anyone evolving beyond the traditional ideals of success, to explore professional pathways that are more aligned to their true nature, unique gifts and passions.  Visit www.getoffline.co to learn more about Alison’s career coaching, professional development opportunities and community experiences, or follow @getoffline.co and @alisonlarsenrice. Alison Rice acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the country on which she creates today, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
