In this inspiring episode of the Premature Menocast, we welcome Jess Harvey, founder of The Female Mentoring Alliance, to share her incredible journey from the high-pressure world of corporate banking to a life dedicated to coaching and empowering women.
Jess’s story is one of courage, transformation, and purpose. After climbing the corporate ladder to Managing Director at JP Morgan, Jess realised that success didn’t feel the way she expected. When her husband’s sudden illness prompted a life reset, she left her high-flying career to follow her true calling: helping women reconnect with themselves, rediscover their passions, and embrace their full potential.
In this episode, we discuss:
Jess’s journey from corporate banking to women’s mentorship
The challenges and realities for women in male-dominated workplaces
How menopause and hormonal changes impact confidence and careers
Finding your true purpose and aligning with your values
Overcoming imposter syndrome and breaking free from “good girl” conditioning
Practical tools like “powerful pauses” and stakeholder mapping to regain control of your life and career
Jess shares heartfelt insights, personal stories, and actionable advice for any woman feeling stuck, lost, or ready to embrace her next chapter.
