Wilson is enjoying a new lease of life in 2026, having launched her own podcast, After Dinner Thinks, and collaborated with film-maker Barbara Hall on the forthcoming documentary In My Voice.

The film, which is narrated by Wilson, traces her journey from childhood to stardom with Heart, and draws from her archive of home movies, photographs and journals as well as previously unseen footage from her years with the band.

"This film is my story in my own words, told the way I’ve always wanted to tell it,” says Wilson. "It’s about finding my voice, keeping it alive, and sharing the journey with the people who’ve been part of it all along."
