KATHERINE RYAN: HOW I CHANGED MY MINDSET & MADE A LIFE FOR ME & MY DAUGHTER
About this episode
<p>Katherine Ryan is a brilliant comedian, actress, writer and podcaster who says it exactly how it is.</p><br><p>I first met Katherine a few years ago and I’ve always admired her energy and determination to succeed. Long before she became one of the UK’s biggest comedians, she was working on the stand-up circuit while raising her daughter Violet as a single mum. Now, with an incredible career and her fourth child on the way, she’s still doing it all completely on her own terms.</p><br><p>We cover:</p><ul><li>How Katherine navigated life as a single mum in her twenties</li><li>Shifting her mindset: overcoming insecurities and embracing gratitude</li><li>Her journey to succeed in a male-dominated industry</li><li>Why she treats her kids as capable individuals, not babies</li></ul><p><br></p><p>I love every conversation I have with Katherine - and this one was no different. It reminded me how we can always learn more about ourselves and the way we approach life.</p><br><p>Listen to Katherine’s new show, Write Me Dirty, where two comedians write FILTHY fiction about each other, here: <a href="https://lnk.to/WriteMeDirty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OUT NOW!</a></p><br><p>And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: <a href="https://open.acast.com/networks/611e511b4ec6dc00134bced2/shows/boysdontcry.co.uk%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">boysdontcry.co.uk</a></p><p> </p><p>If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: </p><p>Instagram- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcast/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@greatcompanypodcast</a></p><p>TikTok - <a href="www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcast " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@greatcompanypodcast </a></p><br><p>And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: <a href="mailto:greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</a> </p><br><p>THE CREDITS </p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone </p><p>Producer: Helen Burke</p><p>Editor: Dan King</p><p>Assistant Producer: Rhoda Abrokwa </p><p>Video: Jake Ji & Josh Bennett</p><p>Audio: Rafi Amsili </p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan & Anthony Barter </p><p>- </p><p> </p><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
