THRIVING IN THE MESSY MIDDLE
A podcast to help women leaders find clarity in the chaos & reconnect with what matters
Hosted by leadership coach and former media executive Amy Wilkins, this podcast is your weekly exhale and power-up. It’s for the ambitious, big-hearted leaders navigating change, craving clarity, and ready to rise—even when it’s messy. Thriving isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment over achievement, peace over proving, and growth that feels good. Tune in for candid conversations and mindset shifts to help you lead with purpose, alignment, and, most importantly, to thrive.
I invite guests who don’t just talk about resilience—they live it. If your path has pushed you to grow in unexpected ways, if you’ve learned to stand steady in the gray areas, if vulnerability has become one of your greatest tools, or if you’ve discovered creativity and courage right in the middle of the mess, we’d love to hear your story. To be considered, please complete this form and show us how your experience fits into the conversations we champion on the show. Your journey just might be the inspiration someone else needs.
