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.

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.
