This One’s Personal: The Wellness Junkies Story + A Big Year of Change

In this solo end-of-year episode, Amy gets on the mic to reflect on the journey behind Wellness Junkies, from a lifelong love of products and wellness, to navigating vestibular migraines, to leaving corporate America and stepping fully into a new chapter.

She also opens up about this past year’s professional pivot, launching her marketing consultancy, and why she’s doubling down on the podcast moving forward.
