Offline, The Podcast
You can do it. You can work for yourself.
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.

116. Cultivating a harmonious relationship with money.
01:39:46||Season 9, Ep. 116Dearest 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—.

01:07:34||Season 8, Ep. 111Dearest 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.

Where is “there” & how will you know you’ve arrived?
41:30||Season 8, Ep. 110Dearest 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?

Pitching to investors, securing funding, building & launching a haircare brand.
01:28:14||Season 8, Ep. 109Dearest 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.

Lessons from 31 years in conscious & ethical business.
01:15:27||Season 8, Ep. 108Dearest 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.
