Rethinking Success is where Amy Green asks the questions that sit underneath everything else, about the stories we've inherited, the definitions we've never actually chosen, and what it would look like to build a life and a way of working that's genuinely fit for how we want to live now. This isn't a show about recovering from burnout or optimising your morning routine. It's a show for people who sense that something in the current model is fundamentally misaligned, and who are ready to think about what comes next. Bold, warm, and intellectually honest, Rethinking Success is a different kind of conversation about what it means to live and work well. Amy Green is a futurist, keynote speaker, and author of The Wellness Paradox — a book that interrogates the six paradoxes keeping us trapped in a version of success that was never designed to make us well. She is the founder of The Wellness Strategy and has spent years studying the intersection of work, life, and the systems that shape both.
Why I'm Happy to Be Called the Anti-Wellness Wellness Speaker
Why I'm Happy to Be Called the Anti-Wellness Wellness Speaker
Description Someone recently called Amy Green the anti-wellness wellness speaker, and she is leaning right into it. In this solo episode, Amy explains why she isn't against wellness, but is against the way it has been designed, priced and pitched to workplaces and people. She also unpacks the difference between wellness, self-care and wellbeing, and why we need to move from symptom to cause.
In this episode, you'll explore
• You'll hear why Amy takes "the anti-wellness wellness speaker" as a compliment and what she means by it.
• You'll explore how wellness has become tied to beauty standards and cost, and why that makes being well feel like a luxury.
• You'll hear how wellness, self-care and wellbeing differ, drawing on Amy's book The Wellness Paradox.
• You'll find out why morning teas and Friday yoga classes lift how we feel for a moment, and why they don't change the workload underneath.
• You'll explore how to start from wellbeing and filter down to the domains and self-care that matter to you right now.

What Do We Actually Mean by Workplace Conditions?
What Do We Actually Mean by Workplace Conditions?
Description
Everyone is saying workplace wellbeing comes down to the conditions, but what does that actually mean? In this solo episode, Amy Green breaks down her four lenses of feel, work, team and lead well, with a personal and a workplace version of each, so the word conditions becomes something you can build. She also explains why a wellbeing framework contextualised to your setting is where conditions start to become clear.
In this episode, you'll explore
• You'll explore why "it's the conditions" is everywhere right now, and why the phrase needs a proper definition.
• You'll hear the four lenses of feel, work, team and lead well, and the personal and workplace side of each.
• You'll explore how role clarity, workload design and a clear picture of what done looks like help people work well.
• You'll hear why leading well means designing systems rather than adding perks.
• You'll find out how a wellbeing framework turns conditions into something you can keep working on, not a checklist.

In 2027 We're Back
Description After a hard year, Amy Green went looking for a different kind of work, and a CEO told her she was too skilled to apply for the role. In this solo episode, she shares what that conversation showed her about intimate, bespoke work in a world built for scale, and why deciding what comes next can start with the life we want to live. It is also Amy's announcement that she is not going anywhere, with three free masterclasses to start 2027.
In this episode:
You'll explore why saying we should be more open and actually being open are two very different things.
• You'll hear what happened when Amy explored hybrid, in-house and portfolio work, and what a CEO said when she asked about a role.
• You'll explore why bespoke, relationship-led work rarely fits a program designed to be repeated at scale.
• You'll hear why decisions about work can start with the life we want to live rather than the job we hold.
• You'll find out what is coming in 2027, beginning with three free masterclasses.
