Resting Biz Face
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.

57. Why it's ok to be delusional
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.
