Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Amy sits down with Ify Walker, Founder & CEO of Offor, to explore the disorienting phenomenon she calls the "Work Twisties" 🌀—those moments when grief, burnout, or loss leave you feeling completely unmoored.

Ify shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father and how it shook the foundation of her leadership, identity, and self-trust. But she didn't abandon her path—she rebuilt it with vulnerability, courage, and intention 💪🏾.

From trusting her team like never before to learning how to talk to herself with compassion, Ify offers heartfelt wisdom for leaders navigating uncertainty. Whether you're in the thick of the twisties or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen đź’ˇ.
