Show Notes
This week on the Women in Safety podcast, Alanna Ball sits down with Amy McKie for an honest conversation about navigating the twists and turns of a career in health and safety.
Amy shares how her journey into safety wasn’t planned—but it turned out to be exactly where she was meant to be. From early experiences with imposter syndrome to carving her own path in consulting, Amy reflects on what it truly means to grow, lead, and stay grounded in a profession that constantly evolves.
This episode touches on something many of us can relate to—feeling unsure if we belong, especially when stepping into new or senior roles. Amy talks about learning to trust herself, asking better questions, and the importance of finding your learning style so you can grow with confidence.
You’ll hear how building genuine relationships, advocating for yourself, and embracing curiosity can open doors in unexpected ways. There’s also a powerful reminder that being you—fully and honestly—is one of your greatest strengths in this industry.
If you’ve ever questioned your place, juggled work and life, or considered taking the leap into consulting or leadership, this episode is for you.
Let’s keep the conversation going. What’s helped you push through self-doubt in your career? Share your thoughts and tag @womeninsafety on LinkedIn or Instagram—we’d love to hear your story.
