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.

107. Mid-Year Creative Reset: What Are You Really Building?
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.
Let’s hit pause, take a breath, and figure out what you’re really building.
