Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters
Michelle Walters
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.
Press play now and let’s “Talk on to Walk on” together, and see where it leads...

Midlife Muddle
Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters
11/05/23 • 39 min
Have you ever heard anyone actually say, "I can’t wait to get to 40, 50 or 60...”?
Whatever age you are, are you in denial about the prospect of midlife, or refusing to acknowledge you’ve hit midlife let alone begin to embrace the opportunities that midlife presents?
Regular listeners will recall us asking our guests about their midlife mindset so we thought we would share our own midlife perspectives and experiences in a sub series called “Our Midlife Muddle".
Our plan is to talk about topics which touch all of us as we work our way through what can be either an overwhelming or empowering stage of our lives.
Future episodes will take a dive into our habit changes, physical and mental wellbeing, careers and how relationships often alter as we navigate our midlife.
Even if you’re not close to 40 please do still listen, to prepare for life when your 40 plus era comes knocking on the door. I had no idea what to expect and was definitely in the denial category!
As always, we will be underpinning our stories with reminders about how the power of meaningful conversations can contribute to our midlife mindset reset.

My Start up Story: Birl
Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters
03/21/24 • 48 min
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.

Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters
06/04/23 • 1 min
Leaving school at 16, Donna did not go to university but worked as a legal secretary knowing she wanted more...
This is not your normal legal career podcast. Please pause and take a listen the fabulous Donna Scully.
Yes, Donna is a lawyer of incredible standing, with many accolades but what jumps out is her less than conventional route to qualification.
Her positive energy combined with her warm Irish charm and wit shine through from the minute we begin to chat.
Donna openly shares her challenges and tenacity she demonstrated as she moved from Dublin to Newcastle then London to fulfil her qualification dream by the age of 30. Moving to Liverpool soon after, alongside her husband John she built leading legal practice, Carpenters Group, which employs around 1,000 people in 6 UK locations.
A quick scan of her vibrant twitter feed provides a wonderful flavour of Donna’s social values and beliefs. Donna is vocally passionate for social justice, social mobility, diversity and gender balance not only via her industry platform, but in her roles outside of law including as a mentor working with young females and as an ambassador/volunteer for 'Fans Supporting Foodbanks'.
Other highlights include her take on and experiences with imposter syndrome as well as her refreshing outlook on midlife.

My Start up Story: Gaia Learning
Talk on to Walk on with Michelle Walters
03/06/24 • 53 min
Everyone knows a child who struggles in school. CEO of Gaia Learning and TEDx speaker alongside her cofounder, Kirsten Coughtrie are personalising learning experiences for neurodivergent children worldwide.
Gaia Learning have created a global online school that supports neurodiverse children through personalised education, which parents and educators can monitor via a dashboard that provides insights into a child’s learning experience. The model leads to reduced anxiety, more personalised learning, and better overall learner experience.
Kate exudes passion when she shares her absolute belief that Gaia Learning will change the world of education and is incredibly honest about the realities of building a business.
Some of her highlight shares include:-
- Her feelings when she realised that her daughter, Poppy was different from most other children and how mainstream education doesn't adequately cater for 20% of the population who are neuro-divergent
- Why the world needs to understand the potential for online learning (which is not sitting your child in front of a computer for hours)
- How techniques such as using dinosaurs to teach maths and designing a dream house to teach English can revolutionise a child’s learning, confidence and creative thinking.
- How the Baltic Ventures Accelerator gave her headspace, a sense of community and an opportunity for meaningful conversation
- How her early childhood traumatic events gave her an absolute belief that everything will be alright
- What she has learnt in terms of accepting support from others
Following a competitive process, Gaia Learning have completed the Baltic Ventures Tech Accelerator 2023 programme and are currently fundraising for their next phase of growth.

Want to hear from the woman who has played a major contribution to the renaissance of Liverpool?
Since winning European Capital of Culture in 2008 Liverpool’s transformation as a national and international visitor destination has accelerated to 71 million visitors to our city in 2022. At the centre and now at the helm of delivering world class events has been Director of Culture Liverpool, Claire McColgan CBE.
Alongside her incredibly loyal team and in partnership with stakeholders, Claire has delivered iconic moments embedded in the memories of the masses in Liverpool and beyond. Highlights include:-
- 2008 - a Giant Spider sprayed us with water as she walked around our city centre
- 2012, 14 and 18 - we watched in awe, and took to our hearts, 50 ft Giants immersing ourselves in the magic of their story
- 2015 - "The Three Queens” Victoria, Mary and Elizabeth cruise liners danced on The Mersey to celebrate 175 years of Cunard’s presence in the city
- Liverpool FC end of season parades with images of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront shared across the world
- 2016 - The city united on the steps of St Georges Hall and the words “Truth" and “Justice” reflected the emotion of the affected Hillsborough families and fans who, after almost 30 years, were finally and formally exonerated
- 2023 - Liverpool hosted an unparalleled Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine when all of Claire's exceptional diplomatic, creative and leadership skills delivered something extraordinary for the UK.
We also talk about how during the pandemic Claire and her team courageously put Liverpool’s hand up to mass testing and crucially led on ensuring large scale events returned to the UK and Europe - which you will hear was an incredibly stressful and emotional time for Claire personally.
Today, Liverpool’s cultural confidence is booming so let’s talk on to walk on with the woman who has been instrumental in making it all happen, Claire McColgan CBE.
