Welcome back to The Naked Leader with Annie Gibbins — the podcast that strips leadership back to what truly matters.
Today Annie is joined by Amy Tyler, founder of the Institute of Oncology Massage. Amy has trained hundreds of therapists and touched the lives of countless patients — but behind the professional success lies a deeply human story of courage, challenge, and resilience.
In this raw and powerful conversation, Amy shares:
✨ What first pulled her into oncology massage and the awakening that made her step into leadership.
✨ The toughest setbacks she faced in building her institute — and how she kept going when doors closed in her face.
✨ The personal qualities she had to grow into, and the wake-up calls that shaped her leadership style.
✨ The impact stories from therapists and patients that remind her why this work matters.
✨ Her reflections on what leadership really is — and the legacy she hopes to leave.
🎧 By the end of this episode, you’ll be asking yourself:
