I've Got Your Back – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Hey pal! Welcome back to I’ve Got Your Back the podcast.

🎉 Two years. 34 episodes. Over 2,000 downloads across 8 countries. 🎉

What a journey it’s been.

We’re celebrating a big milestone on the pod – and to mark the occasion, I thought it was time to flip the script and put me in the hot seat for once! For this special anniversary episode, I was interviewed by the amazing @megmcleanuk – my dear friend and host of the She Can Podcast. If you don’t already know her, go check her out. She’s a total gem.

It was also my first time recording in a professional studio (can you believe it?!). Huge thanks to Mark Edwards at @flatwhitemusic for making us feel so welcome, relaxed, and completely at ease.

In this episode, Meg and I dive into:

• How the idea for the podcast first sparked (on a bus in Sydney, of all places!)
• My very wobbly beginnings, the nerves, the handwritten scripts, and that iconic first “hey pal”
• What “I’ve Got Your Back” really stands for
• How intuition has shaped this podcast (and my life) — and what happens when we finally slow down enough to listen
• The incredible guests who’ve joined me along the way — from friends and mentors to strangers who became soul connections
• The South Africa trip that changed everything and sparked some of my favourite episodes yet
• Dreams for the future — from monetising the pod to giving back to grassroots communities doing powerful work

We also talk about fear — the kind that shows up when you're about to do something brave. We explore what it really means to take a first step (even a tiny one), the importance of asking for help, and the magic that unfolds when you just keep showing up.

This space was always about something bigger than downloads or charts. It’s about creating a place where you feel seen, safe, and encouraged to take that leap — whatever it looks like for you.

It’s for the ones who are figuring it out. For those standing at the edge of something new. For anyone who’s ever wondered, can I really do this? I promise, you can. And I’ve got your back while you do.

Whether you’ve been here since episode one, or this is your first listen — thank you. Truly. You make this all worthwhile.

Hello everyone, and welcome to episode eight, Season three of I've Got Your Back The podcast. This season has been all about wellbeing, and today I’m going to be speaking to you about environmental wellbeing.

My intention with this episode today is to share with you things that I've implemented into my life over the last six years that has made me feel less shame & guilt, to feeling more inspired and passionate about things that I can do to help make a more positive impact on our environment.

These things have empowered me to take personal responsibility for my actions and for the impact that I have on the environment everyday. Even though I'm one person, I have an impact on the environment, we all do. 

Essentially humans are part of nature, we have evolved from nature, we are one. 

There seems to be this disconnect that's happened over many generations where humans have completely ruined the environment and our planet so… 

I want you to take note of these questions: 

• What more can I do for myself to improve my own wellbeing?
• What more can I do for my family?
• What more can I do for the community?
• What more can I do for the planet? 

Really ask yourself those questions every single day. That's what I've done for the last three years. I wake up every day asking myself those questions because when I listen to the answers, they take me to a place that takes my wellbeing to a whole other level, and I know that it can do it for you too.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle x

Hey pal! 

Welcome back to I've Got Your Back the podcast. 

This season is all about wellbeing and I am delighted to have a very special guest on with us today, Andy Fell. 

Andy and I have known each other for many years and he was actually my business coach back in 2020 at a very pivotal time. 

This episode is all about one of the 8 key dimensions of well-being that I believe is so important - your work & career. 

Some of you listening are perhaps in a job or have fallen into a career that you’re deeply unhappy with. Or some of you earn great money but are deeply unfulfilled. 

My hope is that this conversation will spark feelings and emotions or questions that give you hope that you can get paid to do work you love and to develop a career that lights you up! 

In this episode, Andy shares how he did a 180 in his career aged 50! He spoke about finding stillness in your life, slowing down so you can hear yourself think. 

When you do this on a consistent basis, it's amazing what will emerge for you. You'll gain clarity. Because unlike what most people believe in society, being slow creates the flow you crave. It allows you to be in alignment with your heart & values and to take intentional actions. 

Tune in to this episode to hear more tips from Andy when it comes to your work & career including how to set goals! 

I am so excited for you to hear Andy’s wisdom and his inspiring journey.

I've got your back,

Michelle x

Hey pal! Welcome back to season three, episode six of I've got your back the podcast. This episode is all about community and why community is so important to our overall wellbeing.

Over the years, the definition of community has developed beyond just a physical group being together. The introduction of technology, social media, online courses and Facebook groups has allowed the world to form communities all around the world, not just in one physical space.

When we have these different communities in our lives that accept & empower us, and make us feel that we belong no matter what, that's when it becomes really powerful and the spirit of belonging comes in.

Which is why I'm so excited to invite you to my new "I've Got Your Back" Facebook community and Michelle's Weekly Wisdom. 

Every Wednesday receive a weekly dose of all things wellbeing, wisdom, business, entrepreneurship, wonder and adventure - sign up HERE.

I can't wait to see you in our community.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle x

Hello everyone, and welcome back to season three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. This is episode five and I'm excited to bring you a topic that I'm so passionate about, and that is gut health. 

7 years ago my gut was in a complete mess and as a result my physical health was at an extremely low point.

I wanted to share some of my wisdom and learnings from my journey so far, because the more I learn about myself and the more I mentor people with their wellbeing - the more I understand why so many struggle with their health. 

Some of you may or may not know this, but essentially your gut is like your second brain and whatever you're putting into your body can affect your mind and mental health. Which is why it’s important that you are mindful about what we're putting in our bodies.

Your body is a temple, you've been given this body. It's so important that you look after this vessel because this is the body that's going to carry you through life, hopefully for a very long time.

For more info about the Thrive Gut Health Programme - DM me.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hey pal, welcome to season three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. I am so excited to introduce Melissa Browne on today’s episode, because I have learned so much from this woman over the years! Financial wellbeing is such a critical part of your overall wellbeing, but it's one of those subjects that I was never taught in school.

Melissa shares her inspiring journey with us today from having less than zero in the bank to owning multi-million-dollar businesses and being financially independent. Her passion is to help women to become financially empowered and financially literate in both their finances and in their businesses.

Having the financial knowledge, empowering yourself and choosing today to take that first step is pivotal for improving your financial wellbeing. It is possible to still look after your future self without scrimping and saving.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hello everyone, and welcome to season three, episode three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. I am really excited to be talking with you today about one thing I'm very passionate about and something that I truly believe positively and negatively affects all aspects of your well being, and that is alcohol.

Some of you may not know this, but I've not drank alcohol since the 1st of January 2017. I wanted to share with my story with you and the events that led up to this. Alcohol is something that's heavily involved in our culture and who we are. It's been very ingrained in us from a young age, especially growing up in Scotland and living in Australia.

This isn't me saying you mustn't drink alcohol ever again, but I believe it's so important to talk about it, so you can decide for yourself.

Remember - I've (always) got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hey pal! Welcome to season three, episode two of I've Got Your Back the podcast, which is all about wellbeing. I've invited my good friend Mark Purser on today’s podcast to talk about emotional wellbeing and mindfulness.

Mark is a Meditation and Yoga Teacher, he is passionate about teaching from the Indian lineage. He is full of wisdom and full of fun, and I had the pleasure of completing my yoga teacher training with him in Byron Bay. Mark shares his journey with mindfulness and how it’s shaped his life.

We carry so much tension in our bodies because our minds are so active all of the time. Through practicing breath work and yoga, it gives you the reset you need and helps to reprogram subconscious patterning.

It's so important that we lean into these practices more to help us focus on our overall wellbeing.

I've got your back!

Love, Michelle.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to season three of I've Got Your Back the podcast. This season is all about wellbeing, I believe this is the number one thing that all of us must master to really live a fulfilled life.

I’ve been on my own wellbeing journey for the last seven years and learned the tools that have helped me have a balance with connection to my mind, my body and my soul. When your body, mind and soul are in a good place, you can move mountains and do anything you want to do.

In this season I’m going to be speaking from my lived experience and sharing all of this with you!

The eight dimensions of wellbeing we will be covering in this season are:

Career, relationships, financial wellbeing, health and physical health, emotional wellbeing, personal development, community and belonging, physical environment... I want you to start looking at these different areas of your life and rating yourself from 1 to 10!

This is going to be a brilliant season - I love anything that can contribute to us being better humans. Enjoy... and remember, I've got your back.

Love, Michelle.
