  Honouring the interconnectedness of our True Self and our profession.

  What we do for a living feels a bit more emotional than it used to. Restrictions to our freedoms have made many of us question what actually makes us feel happy and fulfilled. A sneaky sleep in. A long walk before the workday starts. A home-cooked lunch. Creating just because not for. The time to think more deeply and even change our mind.Many of us are also questioning if we're using our gifts and skills in ways that make us feel truly useful in the world. Is it time to start something that means something? Could we lead more consciously? And how much money is enough? We’re evolving, and this podcast is evolving with us. I’d love to share Offline’s Manifesto with you. I hope this season helps you on your way.

  Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with Keep It Cleaner (KIC) co-founders and friends, Stephanie Miller and Laura Henshaw. What started as an ebook and a hobby has since grown into a multi-platform offering spanning recipes, workouts, mindful guides, community events and a podcast. But how did they do it? Have they had investment? How did they know who to hire? And what advice do they have for anyone with ambition to start a movement? Alison asks it all. The trio also discuss social media in all its usefulness and complexity, and Alison asks for their opinion on gifting. Is what was once an interesting and organic way for brands to expose their products to new audiences becoming more harmful than helpful? Steph generously opens up about how she’s feeling five weeks into her new role as Harvey’s mum, and Laura gifts us with invaluable insights about growth, evolution and confidence.Follow Steph and Laura on Instagram Explore Keep It CleanerMORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self StudyIf you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, become a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses. Book a coaching session Offline’s host, Alison Rice, is an award-winning leader and conscious coach.

  Doctor and zero waste life advocate Anita Vandyke on living in alignment with your values.

  5/15/2021

  1:03:41

  Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with doctor, rocket scientist, author and zero waste life advocate Anita Vandyke. In this episode, Anita challenges the dogma surrounding living a zero waste life, educating us that it’s not about being perfect. It’s about effort. Have you ever found yourself wanting to reduce your personal waste but feel totally overwhelmed when it comes to how? Or maybe you’re scared that if you try, you’ll fail. And then there’s the fear of the judgement that can come with trying to live more consciously. . . 2020 taught us that cancel culture is real and while sometimes very valid, it also stops us from speaking up and out about the ways we’re trying to be better. Anita is here to help us take a step forward. She explains that living a zero waste life often starts with living a low waste life. She also shares how she personally handles criticism for her choices, why she implements spending bans and what she discovers when she does, easy zero waste strategies that absolutely anyone could implement today, why spirituality and science do co-exist and what motherhood and a major health scare taught her about herself. Follow Anita on Instagram Buy Anita’s new book, A Zero Waste FamilyMORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self StudyIf you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, become a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses. Book a coaching session Offline’s host, Alison Rice, is an award-winning leader and conscious coach.

  Storyteller Jess Molina is pioneering what it means to influence consciously.

  4/17/2021

  1:18:47

  Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with conscious influencer, storyteller and founder of Loudly Quietly, Jess Molina.  Have you ever wondered how influencers choose projects and for the more conscious creators out there, the vetting process they go through when deciding whether or not to work with a brand? Jess is a guiding light on these topics.  In this honest conversation, Jess shares openly and honestly across a broad range of topics related to fashion, writing, influencing and inclusion —including the day she saw the Jess in her mind reflected back at her in the mirror — financially supporting her family and the subsequent guilt that can come with spending on herself, her advice to people who want to write but are struggling to find their voice, transparency around gifting on Instagram, how she’s navigated pricing herself for influencer projects, moving beyond diversity and inclusion as an initiative and into an ethos, reclaiming the word fat and her advice to anyone who is struggling to develop a loving relationship with their body. In a reality where influencing has become a viable career path, Jess is the example of the type of influencer we should be following and celebrating. Follow Jess on Instagram Read Loudly Quietly MORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self StudyIf you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, become a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses. Book a coaching session Offline’s host, Alison Rice, is an award-winning leader and conscious coach.

  JANE Magazine’s Annika Hein on backing yourself and self-funding your idea.

  4/3/2021

  1:33:42

  Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with fashion magazine co-founder and creative director, Annika Hein. In this episode, Annika shares the importance of backing yourself and self-finding your idea, the risks involved in starting your own business and how to maintain your creative integrity — especially when there’s real money on the table. JANE Magazine is a Melbourne-based, biannual fashion and fine art publication shot on film and printed on paper. The magazine explores the disciplines of art, photography, fashion, philosophy and poetry. Sounds a bit intimidating, right? Turns out Annika is anything but. Get ready to hear from a funny, down-to-earth, thoughtful and generous woman who isn’t scared to say what she really thinks. Alison and Annika cover some incredible ground in this honest conversation, including Annika’s pregnancy, a 36-hour home birth that ended with an emergency transfer to hospital, what she and partner Odin learned from living slowly in country Victoria, navigating perfectionism and a sometimes brutal examination of self, how she maintains her creative integrity while building and funding a business, the risks they took to launch issue one of the magazine and what starting her day with rituals helps her to achieve. Please note: Before they get onto business, Annika is an open book about her home birth experience.

  Over 3.5 million people follow The Holistic Psychologist on Instagram, here’s why.

  3/20/2021

  59:27

  If you aren’t one of her 3.5 million followers, Alison is very excited to introduce you to Dr. Nicole LePera. She’s The Holistic Psychologist on Instagram and through her conscious protocol, is pioneering a new pathway to healing which starts and ends not with doctors and medication, but with us. Her community identifies as Self Healers. If you’re seeking out knowledge and experiences with the intention to heal, you’ll be familiar with the phrase “doing The Work”. We hear it often, but rarely can anyone define it for us. What is it? What does it involve? And how do we know we’re doing it right?  Dr. LePera responds to our collective needs with her first book, aptly titled How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self. Available now, she describes it as an accumulation of the knowledge of the interconnectedness between our physical bodies, our mental or emotional worlds, and the very thing we explore here on Offline — our True Self. Our soul. It’s quite literally the bridge between spirituality and clinical psychology so many of us have been searching for. In this episode, Dr. LePera and Alison explore the book and what it has to offer, and Alison also gets Dr. LePera’s advice on the topics listeners sent in when she asked what they’d want to unpack if they had a session with a therapist today. Reparenting and inner child work, anxious attachment, navigating low self esteem, self healing after sexual abuse, how to establish boundaries with your boss, overcoming generational trauma and so much more.Follow The Holistic Psychologist on Instagram Buy Dr. LePera’s debut bookMORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self StudyIf you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, become a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses. Book a coaching session Offline’s host, Alison Rice, is an award-winning leader and conscious coach.
