In this episode, we peel back the layers to reveal ‘The Person Behind the Profile’ with Nat Harvey (CEO Mamamia).
Have you ever wanted to take on a new challenge but felt anchored and loyal to your current role, which you still enjoyed?
In our latest podcast, Natalie “Nat” Harvey, CEO of Mamamia, shares her journey of “uncomfortable growth,” when she left Seven West Media to be the Chief Revenue Officer at Mamamia – a mission-driven media company focused on making the world better for women and girls.
For Nat, this wasn’t just a career move—it was a chance to find deeper purpose. But taking the leap wasn’t easy. She opens up about dealing with imposter syndrome and learning the power of self-belief and supportive networks. As well as what great things can happen unexpectedly when you change things up by taking a chance and doing what you love (the founders loved her so much they promoted her to CEO within 4 months).
This episode isn’t just about success; it’s about the importance of cultural fit, the evolving role of leadership, and finding balance in a fast-paced world. Nat’s insights on personal growth, work-life balance, and the joy of meaningful work offers inspiration for anyone at a “comfort zone” crossroads.”
“I’ve always been someone who works incredibly hard, but probably underestimates themselves,” she says in the episode.
“I think my energy and dreaming about the future and what could be is just perfectly suited for what the business needs right now.”

Episode 9: Unmasking the CEO: Jess White’s Journey from Insecurity to Quiet Confidence
In this episode, Rowena interviews Jess White (CEO, Kinesso, Mediabrands), on her Uncomfortable Growth story.
Jess’s story is as heart wrenching as it is inspiring. She opens up about her childhood, marked by the responsibility of caring for a disabled sister and the loss of another. These early experiences instilled in her a fierce independence that was, in reality, a facade for crippling insecurity. It’s a profound reminder of the complexities behind the faces we see in the boardroom, and the hidden battles that shape each leader.
