Show Notes

In this episode of the Women in Safety podcast, Alanna Ball sits down with Amy Morris to talk about her unexpected but fulfilling path into health and safety. Amy shares what it’s like to build a career in a male-dominated industry, the moments of self-doubt she’s had to push through, and the role community plays in lifting women up.

The conversation covers everything from work-life balance to why communication matters as much as technical skill. Amy also highlights how context can change the story behind data, the need to keep learning, and the importance of finding joy in small wins along the way.

This is a candid, encouraging look at the realities of professional growth, gender dynamics, and the resilience needed to succeed in health and safety.
