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.

🔔 How to reframe anxiety as a signal to act

In this reflective episode, Michelle and Patrick explore the lasting social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, five years on from the first lockdown.
With honesty, humour, and insight, they unpack how our communication habits have shifted and what we risk losing if we don’t reclaim the art of real conversation.
Key talking points are: -
🗓️ Looking Back: Five Years Since Lockdown A trip down memory lane to 2020 to those surreal months staying home adjusting to isolation.
💬 Has the Art of Conversation Declined? From Zoom meetings to Snapchat voice notes and self-service checkouts, is digital convenience leaving human interaction behind?
👥 Generational Divide
💼 Changing Work Culture has the rise of tech replaced real, meaningful workplace connection? Hybrid models are here to stay but what did we lose and gain?
🏙️ The New Normal the growth of co-working spaces and companies like Adidas doubling down on in-person culture, highlights our need for human contact.
👁️ Why Face-to-Face Still Matters
· The role of hospitality & performing arts: How real-world experiences shape communication skills and confidence in young people.
· Eye contact, body language, the magic of spontaneous moments can’t be replicated with social media "likes", emojis or voice notes.
📢 Call to Action: Intentional Interaction - Michelle and Patrick urge listeners to reconnect, make time for good conversation and actively seek out uplifting social connections. Stop putting off the coffee meetups, the catch-up calls, and those awkward but essential conversations.

What does the term "Midlife Crisis" mean to you? Are you going through one or been through one? Is it something we all go through as we navigate midlife?
Midlife is a time when we have increased responsibilities and can become overwhelmed with decisions whilst often distracted with other people’s problems. We also begin to question the life choices we’ve made.
Patrick and Michelle discuss their different interpretations on the midlife crisis label and offer tips on what has worked for them including, how to ignore inevitable judgmental eye-rolls and Michelle’s approach to the topic with her coaching clients.
This episode puts a fresh perspective on the cliches and stereotypes that surround the term midlife crisis.
So let's "talk on to walk on" and let’s see where it leads....

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.

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.
