Dearest you. What does it mean to become the condition for the world so many of us are longing for?In this honest conversation, teacher, author, activist and US presidential candidate, Marianne Williamson, invites us to stop waiting for change and instead begin to live as progressive agents of love and right action in the here and now. Your personal awakening is what will fuel system and political change.We also explore how activism can be rooted in compassion rather than contempt and how as female leaders, we can soften without surrendering our strength. She speaks candidly about the lessons, heartbreaks and growth that emerged from her presidential campaign which I'm really grateful for, offering rare insight into the courage and forgiveness that has been required. Marianne is bringing her talk Inner Light, Outer Change to Australian in February.

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.
