Listen "S6 E18 - Learning From Those Who Have Done It Before & Why I Wanted To Chat With Michelle Ryan"
Episode Synopsis
If you grew up in a family business, you learn early that rest has to be earned but I don’t believe that anymore.In this minisode, I’m reflecting on my chat with the brilliant Michelle Ryan, founder of The Holistic Leaders and a woman who’s helping business owners blend strategy with soul - without burning out.Michelle’s story brought me right back to my own - growing up in a pub, hiding from the phone when it rang because we knew it meant we’d have to work. We talk about that early conditioning, what it means to "work hard," and how choosing a different path isn’t just brave - it’s necessary.This episode is a love letter to the women doing business differently – who believe in nervous system support, sauna days, and the power of saying no.✨ In this episode:What I learned from growing up in a pubWorking like it’s yours (even when it’s not)Michelle’s move from corporate to conscious leadershipRest, cold dips & why I take a mini-break every monthWoo vs. woo-woo – finding your own version of spiritualityThe power of values-based businessWhat Michelle’s work taught me about leading with easeYou can find Michelle here: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | Email____BeBelle is a podcast hosted by Sian Horn that dives into the stories of remarkable people behind their businesses.
