Becoming FD, Building Confidence & The Career Dilemma Ambitious Women Face

Guest: Jo Stubbs, Finance Director

What does it really take to become a Finance Director—and how can you enjoy the journey instead of just chasing the title?

In this episode, Jo joins Phoebe to break down the different routes to FD, the critical career choices along the way, and the hidden challenges ambitious women face in their 20s and 30s.

💡 Are you unknowingly holding yourself back? Jo and Phoebe discuss how fear, biases, and "what ifs" stop talented women from reaching their potential—and what to do about it.

🔥 Plus, Jo shares how she built unshakable confidence, why stepping outside your comfort zone is non-negotiable, and why saying “yes” to scary things is the key to long-term success.

If you’re a finance professional with big ambitions, this one’s not to be missed. Hit subscribe and let’s get into it! 🎧✨
