Alice McMullin is the founder and creative director of McMullin, an Australian furniture studio founded upon the principle of simple, considered, timeless and sustainable design.
I had no less than 20 questions ready for Alice, but it turns out I didn’t need them. We didn’t need them. This, to me, is the sign of an honest conversation. It’s something that unfolds. Two people who trust each other enough to go where they’re being led.
We had a very long chat so I’m running this conversation in two parts. Part one is all about the tensions and complexities we carry as mothers, founders, business owners and creatives.

This episode is for everyone but it’s most especially for the conscious builders, makers, creators, service providers, founders, freelancers (or soon-to-be because I know you’re thinking about it and yes, I think you should!), business owners and leaders.
It’s for those who want to stay true in a world that increasingly feels false. Pre-generated. Automated. Streamlined. Optimised. Without soul.
We are being asked to build, create, serve and lead in a time of massive technological change.
Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon. It’s here in the room with us and as much as we might want to avoid it because of what it could mean for humanity, the highest call right now as awake and aware individuals is to turn towards it fully, allow ourselves to stretch to its edges and see what we discover there.
Join me.

It’s officially time to walk ourselves home to ourselves and our own, individual definitions of success. It’s time to get explicit about how we want to live and how we want our lives to feel.
I'm here presenting an alternative lens to view success through, and it's called A Little, Rich Life.

The best episodes are the conversations where I don’t ask any of the questions I had on my list. This is one of them.
Megan deBoer is a wealth doula, mother, maker and caretaker.
In this episode we explore what it looks like and feels like to land in our innate deservingness. What does that mean? It means closing the gap between what we're currently receiving and what we intrinsically deserve. More money, more opportunities, more responsibility, more impact.
Megan is a light in an otherwise pretty dark corner of the self development space: Money.
I hope you adore our very honest conversion and if you want to join a future season of Off—, express interest here.

Whether or not your boss approves your pay rise request can feel so personal, but is it? In this episode, I offer a reframe and also some advice that will put you in a strong position to get paid what your contribution is worth.
I hope my advice helps you or someone you love that deserves more than they're currently getting.

This episode was recorded live at Sundays Offline, Brisbane on November 11, 2023. Jasmine and I catch up on what we've both moved through in the four years between honest conversations. We explore the lessons life has offered us and Jasmine shares some very good news. We hope you adore our chat and that you feel like you are right there in the room with us.
I’d love to send my sincerest thanks to:
Cass and Newstead Studios for hosting Offline once again in your beautiful creative spaceMy cherished co-creator Kymberly Louise for your effortless and calm event management style. You are literally the reason I could just roll in and do my thing Lunae Sparkling for our crystal-infused refreshments, so very OfflineThe stunning and interesting Miss Midgely’s for hosting me the night before the event. Miss Midgley’s is a 160 year-old heritage home that has had many lives. The house was recently reimagined as a heritage guesthouse by mother and daughter Lisa and Izzie. It’s perfectly positioned on James Street in New Farm so if you’re looking for somewhere just that little bit more special to stay, you’ll adore Miss Midgley’s Zoey from Senncha Studio for the incredible event images — you can see these on the @getoffline.co Instagram account Another cherished co-creator Jess from Hanako Studio for creating such a perfectly abstract floral arrangementAlison xo

Goodbye Girl Boss. The new era of entrepreneurship is here and it's service-led, life-giving and seasonal.
We are not here to work more than we live or to be contained to a rigid 9-5 schedule that leaves us very little free time to follow our bliss. We are here to experience everything our one, big life has to offer and to contribute to the evolution of all things along the way.
The system we've been conditioned to subscribe to simply can't support our fullness and our wholeness. It can't move with the natural and intrinsic seasons and cycles that exist within a diverse and expressed life.
So it's time to build our own system. It's time to believe in our innate resourcefulness and our ability to successfully work for ourselves.
I hope you say yes to my annual 12-week business program, serve. Enrolments open at the beginning of every year.

This episode is part of my long-running Self Care Sundays mini-series in partnership with Estée Lauder. For the past four years, I’ve sat down with some of the brand’s local ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care, skincare and success.
In keeping with this season’s theme of checking-in with past guests, today I am curled up on the lounge with Nadia Fairfax-Wayne — a leading Australian creative, fashion influencer and the editor of Fairfax Journal.
A lot has happened in the four years between honest conversations. She got engaged, married, converted to her husband’s religion, bought a home, renovated and decorated it, broke up with a close friend (a life event that led her to therapy) and so much more. I wanted to talk about it all.
We hope you love it and that it feels like you’re in the room with us.

Imagine a professional reality that is entirely unsubscribed from hustle culture, comparison and the relentless pursuit of a definition of success that no longer feels true for you. Imagine waking up every single day feeling like you’re living a life you’ve chosen, and that the shape of your day is weighted evenly between meeting your own needs, the needs of the people you love and the needs of the business you work for or the one you own. And that on some days, there’s no need at all. There’s just rest. Play. Pleasure.
This can be real and I know this to be true because I am living this professional reality. I’ve gone from hustling and grinding to a level of grounded that makes me walk and talk slow. From pushing my career in a particular direction to simply letting it unfold. From over-analysing my next move to trusting that what's meant for me won't miss me. From feeling like I was compromising my values to now leading a thriving business that is built on my values.
The moment I realised what I was doing for a living was no longer a fit with how I wanted to be living and what I wanted my life to represent, I knew I had to be an agent of change. I knew I had to define my own highest vision and move in the direction of it despite what other people might think.
What is your Highest Vision and will you let me help you realise it?

An honest conversation with Maeva Heim. When Maeva Heim and I first sat down for an honest conversation in 2019, her texture-inclusive haircare brand, Bread, was still an idea yet to be realised. She was halfway through Seophora’s Accelerate program and four years later, we’re having a very different conversation.
Maeva went on to secure investment and launch Bread (during the pandemic no less) and is now stocked exclusively in Sephora in Australia and multiple beauty retailers in the US including Ulta and Cult Beauty.
She shares so many rich insights and learnings from her journey in this episode. Some highlights include:
Why she believes it is actually about who you know not what you knowWhat she did to build her network from knowing no-one in the industry to meeting the haircare buyer at Sephora in the StatesWhat investors are looking for in pre-launch businessesHer take on the role our work should play in our livesWhy not everyone is built to work in a start-upStepping up as a leader and CEOWhy operating in 2022 was harder than operating in the pandemic Her observations on the VC space right nowWe had a lot of fun the second time around. Hope we offer you a lot of insight and also some giggles.

If you’re an entrepreneur or business leader, you’ll know how many business mentors, coaches and courses are out there selling you success. It’s noisy and a lot of the advice is conflicting.
This episode is an opportunity for us to lean out of all of that noise and learn from an elder in conscious and ethical business. Jeannie Bourke has been running her beauty and body lab Venustus through the lens of her ethics, her morals and her values for over 30 years. It has been a heart-first business with a deep and intentional why long before people were writing entire books about it and calling it a strategy.
There’s so much goodness in this one:
How to attract, train and retain a 10-year teamHow she’s taken the wisdom, tools and techniques she’s learnt over 40 years and literally infused them into the walls and floors of her new space (which opens this month!)How she uses her body as a compass in businessThe benefits of conscious business owners getting comfortable with money and earning itWhy not everything needs to scale and how this can actually become a barrier to our long-term impactUnpacking the concept of failure when our ideas are channeled — did we fail or were we early?Thank you for being here.

The first time I sat down with doctor, rocket scientist, author and zero waste life advocate, Dr. Anita Vandyke, she was looking ahead to a bright and exciting future with her husband James and daughter Vivian. She was close to graduating from medical school and had just written her second book, The Zero Waste Family.
But just two years on, things look quite different. Today, Anita’s list of titles includes widow. Devastatingly, she lost her husband James to cancer in late 2022. He was just 40 years old.
If you’re a regular listener of this sweet and stable podcast, you’ll know that some of my most connected episodes are the ones birthed during or after a significant life experience. At the time of recording and releasing this episode, that life experience is the passing of my beautiful mum and the grief that has followed.
This honest conversation is dedicated to James and to my mum. It’s also dedicated to every person who can no longer smell, touch and hear someone they love. It’s for anyone who wants to learn how to be someone to the person left behind. What to say. What to do. How to be there and catch them in the oceanic swell that is loss.
Thank you Anita for allowing the deep well of grief you hold for James to spill over so we can hear it and feel it and hopefully, help you carry it.
P.S. I am sorry about the interference… we recorded in person at Anita’s home and I think our pesky mobile phones tried to get involved.
Thank you for being here.

This episode is a bit of a full circle moment for me. Caitlin and Anna interviewed me back in 2018 for what was then a soon-to-launch podcast but is now the very well established Lady Brains. I was still working in publishing and I had begun recording for Offline but it was still my little secret so to be sitting here five years later having an honest conversation about the texture and terrain we’ve all moved through as podcasters and founders is a real honour.
Like, we did it! We're still here!
We had what I think is a really uncommon and kind of complex conversation about being a founder while also helping other founders. While we serve very differently, we share many of the same challenges and experiences.
I am proud of this conversation because it feels like the antidote to polish and shine of typical founder interviews. We don’t talk in grabs and we take time to think about what we want to say. There’s lot of purposeful pauses.
Maybe it is just me, but this feels very compelling and encouraging as we come out of the era that hurt more of us than it helped — Girl Boss and the grind culture that came with it.
We hope you love out very honest conversation and that it allows you a moment to lean out and make contact with something real and unscripted.
Thank you for being here.

A gentle warning upfront. This episode covers difficult topics like pregnancy loss, infertility and navigating the death of a parent while becoming a parent.
I never expect the stories and experiences my guests hold closest to their hearts but I am always grateful when they gift them to us. This episode is no exception — Leigh and I really go there on some pieces and while an emotional listen at times, I know we both believe so necessary to bring the context and complexity to lives that otherwise look perfect and pain-free from the outside.
We hope you love our chat and know you’ll hold us in our shares. Some are sweet, some are silly, some are brave, some act as an example of our privilege and some are so raw they make us want to take it back.
Thank you for being here.

If you follow Nadine Jane Astrology on Instagram, you’ll know that she went away for a little while. Her absence was very felt on my feed and I thought about her often. I wondered if she was ok, and I hoped she’d be back creating her signature style of intuitive, soft and highly emotive astrology content.
So you can imagine the smile on my face when I was presented with the opportunity to sit down with Nadine once again — three years after our first honest conversation. She’s such a joy to interview but I was also just so curious to ask her about the last couple of years. Where has she been? Why did she take a break? What did she do and how did it all feel?
As you’ll soon learn, our favourite New York City astrologer (currently residing in country Maine) experienced the very thing she’s guided many of us through — her Saturn Return. For Nadine, this significant astrological event brought with it something unexpected. It turned the lights out on her love affair with astrology and as someone who channels, what that meant was she lost her signal.
Nadine and I explore what that was like, the other areas of growth her Saturn Return brought on, how it impacted the book she’d signed on to write and has since been published (Magic Days, her 800-page masterpiece), her evolved relationship with astrology and her body, and her cosmic weather report for this year.
If you’ve been thinking about making a brave decision, you’re going to like what she has to say.
Thank you for being here.

Eleanor Pendleton, Sara Crampton and Beck Wadworth are three of Australia’s most successful women’s lifestyle influencers but they’re also three women I am grateful to call my friends.
It’s been years between honest conversations and like so many of you, the four of us have moved through a lot — sustaining businesses during a global pandemic, pregnancy and sadly, pregnancy loss, birth, the first months and years of motherhood, terminally ill parents, the death of someone we love and the grief that follows — all while doing our best to show up for our teams, our communities and business’ missions.
The girls and I put it all on the table and we hope in doing that, we provide you with a rich entry point into feeling more seen and heard within your own life experiences.
Thank you for being here.

A very warm welcome to season eight of this beautiful and ever-evolving podcast.
This episode is part of a brand-new series called Checking In With, where I touch base with some of Offline’s earliest guests to hear how they’re doing today, what they’ve moved through since we last spoke and of course, how their definition of success has evolved in and around the rich texture of their life experiences.
This very first checking-in episode is with one of my best friends, Zoe Marshall. She was Offline’s fourth guest way back in season one. Zoe is my emotionally safe friend and while I didn’t realise it when I asked her to record with me, that’s really what this episode is about – friendship – and how important it is as aware and ambitious people that we have those emotionally safe relationships that we can fall backwards into when we’re being stretched to a new edge.
I hope you adore this season’s honesty. I hope you feel the joy and the pleasure and the play I’m actively seeking following what has been a really hard couple of years. I also hope you adore the explorations into the darker spaces life leads my guests and I into as we seek to land more deeply into our True Self.
Thank you for being here.

Off— is a conscious professional development space that exists to help you live out a professional reality that feels nourishing, sustainable, purposeful and true.
You deserve this. We all do.
Our work isn’t supposed to leave us feeling burnt out, disappointed or hopeless. What we do for a living should be a productive outlet for our fulfillment, not the source of our fulfillment itself.
This is one of the biggest lessons I teach inside this expanding professional development container — how to create space between who you are and what you do, and how serving from that place will evolve and elevate your definition of success.
You set the pace. Everything is recorded.
Off— is professional development like you’ve never experienced it before. No more hustling. No more grinding. Just simply arriving at your highest professional expression.
