Grief, Growth, and the Midlife Reset How Loss Redefines the Way We Work

With more than two decades in media, business, and public speaking, Amy Scruggs has built a career around helping others find their voice. Following a deeply personal chapter as a caregiver to her father, she now shares a powerful perspective on reinvention, resilience, and redefining success in midlife—offering insight for anyone navigating both career and family in this stage of life.

Over the past year, Amy experienced one of the most profound transitions of her life—losing her father while also stepping fully into the role of caregiver. That season didn’t just change her personal life… it reshaped how she saw work, success, time, and purpose. 
As Amy reintegrated back into business, she realized she is no longer operating from the same mindset she had in her 30s and 40s. This chapter—midlife, the “sandwich generation,” balancing family, legacy, and career—requires a different kind of leadership. A more intentional one. 
In this conversation, Amy shares what it really looks like to: 
• Rebuild professionally after deep personal loss 
• Let go of outdated definitions of success 
• Redesign your work to support your life—not compete with it 
• Step into a more aligned, meaningful version of success in midlife
