In the debut episode of Thriving in the Messy Middle, host Amy Wilkins sets the tone for a podcast dedicated to women leaders navigating life's in-between moments. This show is especially for those who look successful on the outside but feel scattered, stretched, or stuck on the inside. Amy begins by sharing her own experience as a former media executive. From the outside, her life looked like a highlight reel. However, on the inside, she felt fried, questioning, and lonely. As she tells it, the messy middle was not a detour—it was a wake-up call. More importantly, it became a turning point. Because of this, Amy chose to work with a leadership coach. That decision changed everything. It helped her reconnect with her values, reframe her path, and embrace the messy middle. This experience led her to pursue the path of coaching and eventually launch Choose Awe, a coaching practice that supports women leaders just like her. This first episode introduces the podcast's core themes: self-awareness, purpose, alignment, and the power of intentional pause. Amy reminds us that the messy middle is not a failure—it's a signal that something new is emerging. And rather than pushing through, what if we leaned in? Each episode promises practical tools, personal stories, and soul-nourishing strategies. The goal? To help women shift from simply surviving to powerfully thriving in all areas of their lives.
