107. Mid-Year Creative Reset: What Are You Really Building? Artwork

Resting Biz Face

Welcome to the Resting Biz Face Podcast!
This podcast for you if you're a writer, creative business owner or service provider!

I'm Michelle Allen. I'm a writer, producer and creative consultant and I'm aka the Infinite Upstart!

I'm also the Co-founder of Ironclad Creative, a Community Interest Company that aims to support writers & theatre-makers in the business of making art!

As you may have already guessed, I'm wildly neurodivergent and so need a lot of rest. Resting and shifting away from hustle is something I've had a love hate relationship with for a while - and believe me, resting is hard when your neurodivergent brain wants you to do ALL THE THINGS!

Ultimately, we all know that productivity culture is no good for anyone - so I want you (and I) to slow down a little, rest in a way that works for us, and be magnificently successful AT THE SAME TIME!

This podcast will mix thought awareness tools, mindset reframing hacks and creativity prompts with practical strategy, systems and processes which will allow you to build a way of working and creating that is truly independent to you.

Let's get you more income, more clients and more creativity without the burn out, the overwhelm, and the boredom!

Let's get your Resting Biz Face on!

107. Mid-Year Creative Reset: What Are You Really Building?

June 17, 2025 • Michelle Allen

It’s June. Your project’s half-finished, your to-do list is a bit feral, and you’re not even sure what you’re doing anymore?

I see you.

In this episode, I’m sharing five simple but powerful ways to reset your creative work without starting from scratch or spiralling into shame.

We’ll talk about micro-goals, renaming your project to make it feel alive again, and how to actually create space for the thing that matters (hint: it’s probably not your inbox).

And don't forget I've got my twice-weekly body-doubling sessions QUIET

ALSO - I want to hear from you if you want to be a guest as I have a new season of honest chats with other creatives business owners and service providers coming up about how they’re crafting their businesses behind the scenes.
