Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters

Michelle Walters

I am Michelle Walters, creator of “Talk on to Walk on”. In 2020, I stepped back from 30 years in the corporate world. I now know I had burn out. The global lockdown timing was fortuitous giving me permission to pause for longer than I thought I needed.  And so began my healing process - a story I have still yet to fully share but, “Talk on to Walk on” was born and you hear glimpses of my story during my shared conversations throughout the podcast episodes.  Be it by circumstance, habit or fear of judgment, we are all guilty of keeping true feelings and desires buried. As a result we then limit ourselves in the life we want to lead.  “Talk on to Walk on” which has evolved into a coaching, mentoring and talks offer, is my way of addressing this.  My husband, Patrick, an accomplished corporate leader, business and life mentor now joins me and you on our joint, life journeys. We met and changed our careers while navigating midlife. We are passionate about sharing our ongoing mindset lessons as well as inspirational life stories from guests who, through simple conversations and positive 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 and this is our offer to you. Please do subscribe, rate and review. You are helping us to share our mindset messages, supporting our community and encouraging more people to share how they really feel and to take the steps towards their dreams. “Talk on to Walk on” supports Liverpool community causes and charities both financially and through our voluntary talks and flexible payment coaching offer. If you like what you hear and wish to take the smallest steps to create the life you really want, whatever your age, then please do connect with us.  Press play now and let’s “Talk on to Walk on” together, and see where it leads...

    #45 Midlife Milestones: Rethinking Birthdays

    🎙️ Midlife Milestones: Rethinking Birthdays  If you’ve ever blown out birthday candles with mixed emotions or wondered how to embrace midlife with more humour, grace and gratitude this conversation is for you. Together, Michelle and Patrick explore the emotional mix that comes with getting older; the fear, the gratitude, and the realisation that ageing, at its core, is a privilege. They dig into the mindset required to hold both truths at once: acknowledging the reality of how we feel about getting older, while also choosing to appreciate what each year brings.  Some practical mindset tips, including the power of surrounding yourself with young people whose energy can shift your perspective in all the right ways. Deciding that it’s actually “cool to get old” their discussion invites their listeners to rethink how they view birthdays and ageing by “counting your blessings not the candles.”  Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or watch on You Tube.
