From Corporate Life to Creative Freedom: The Confidence to Reinvent Your Career with Jess Kelly

What would happen if you actually backed yourself? If you stopped waiting for the “right” qualification… If you stopped worrying about what people might think… If you trusted the creative pull you keep ignoring? In this episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I sat down with luxury fine artist Jess Kelly, who pivoted from a successful corporate marketing career into becoming one of Ireland’s most sought-after artists with celebrity clients and global collectors from Ireland to the US. This conversation is about far more than art. It’s about confidence, courage, identity shifts, and what it really takes for women in leadership to build something meaningful on their own terms. If you’ve ever felt the nudge to pivot, grow, or go all in this episode will speak directly to you.
