Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters Michelle Walters

I am Michelle Walters, creator of “Talk on to Walk on”.
In 2020 (before the world paused) I resigned from a corporate role. I had hit burn out and anxiety - a repeat pattern during my rollercoaster life and 30 year legal and business career.
The global lockdown meant that I had permission to pause. I reflected and realised many of us keep our feelings and desires buried inside, limiting us in the life we want to lead.
As a result, “Talk on to Walk on” was born and has evolved with a coaching, mentoring and talks offer.
My husband, Patrick, an accomplished corporate leader and mentor now joins me on the podcast.
We met and changed our careers while navigating midlife. We are passionate about sharing our own mindset lessons as well as inspirational life stories from guests who, through conversations and self talk, found the courage to ‘walk on’ to where they are today.
We believe with the right mindset and courage to open up to the right people, there is no limit to what can be achieved, at any stage of life.
“Talk on to Walk on” supports Liverpool community causes and charities both financially and through our voluntary talks and flexible payment coaching offer.
Please do subscribe, rate and review. You are helping us to share our midlife mindset messages, supporting our community and encouraging more people to share how they feel.
Who knows maybe you will then take the smallest steps to “walk on” to create the life you really want, whatever your age.
Let’s “Talk on to Walk on” together, and let’s see where it leads...

This episode puts a fresh perspective on the cliches and stereotypes that surround the term midlife crisis.

Midlife Muddle - Let's check in
Do you ever take the time to stop for a minute, and think about the last few weeks or months and what’s happened in your life or more precisely what you’ve achieved?
There are no rules with timing and we can be rubbish at remembering but we want to get better and help you do the same.
So this is our offering based on the first half of 2024. To help us add value we’ve linked our reflections to Patrick’s Midlife to 100 life pillars that he’s chosen as key to living a long and healthy life. They are:- physical health, mental wellness, sleep, nutrition and social interaction/relationships.
We discuss how we’ve stayed connected with family and old friends, both at home and abroad; we reflect on some personal achievements and how the simple things in life, like gardening, dogs and sleep keep us sane in our busy world.
So have a listen and then take a minute to think about what you’ve achieved during the first half of the year. We promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised plus it will help generate thoughts and ideas as to your plans for the year ahead.
So let’s ‘talk on to walk on’ and see where it leads…

My Start up Story: Ittybit
IttyBit has created software that simplifies the handling of rich media in applications, providing developers with easy ways to upload, store, transform, and extract data from video, audio, and image files, while ensuring compatibility across different formats and browsers. They have built a media intelligence engine which helps developers to add uploads in minutes, to extract rich data from files, and to deliver media at 10x lower cost.
As well as detailing the unique elements of the Ittybit offer, Paul talks about: -
· Dropping out of university to start, scale and sell his YouTube coaching channel
· His love of travel and his time in Silicon Valley being exposed to people who were "better than him" and thought "bigger than him”
· His socialist values; how he is driven to grow to give back to society
· The importance of a cofounder and community so you're not doing it all alone
· How his 18 month old son, Finn, makes him appreciate the use of his time and energy
· His love of Elon Musk and why...
Following a competitive process, Ittybit completed the Baltic Ventures Tech Accelerator 2023 programme and are currently fundraising for their next phase of growth.

My Start up Story: Birl
On average the UK spends £27bn on clothes, sends 300,000 tonnes of clothes to landfill each year, when it is believed 95% of those garments could be re-worn or upcycled.
Birl is making resale easy and profitable for purpose-driven brands by offering a single button on a brand’s product display page to allow customers to trade in and receive credits to purchase new products whilst then handling the logistics, resale & recycling of all trade-ins on the brand’s behalf (think Klarna, but a force for good).
Our conversation with Peter Lydon, co-founder, includes:-
· how he has already secured Birl's first fashion brands to offer the trade-in process to customers.
· The opportunities and frustrations of being a tech disruptor in the fashion sector
· Who he turns to when he has a wobble
· How, as an adopted Scouser, he is now giving back.
· how the power of the collective, rather than going alone, can help you go further.
· his unique working routine as he juggles work and family life (believe us, it is quite unique!)
· "Don't just take the money": Why aligning values and morals are important for co-founder and investor relationships to thrive.
Following a competitive process, Birl has completed the Baltic Ventures Tech Accelerator 2023 programme and is currently fundraising for its next phase of growth.
