How Katherine Ryan turned grit into greatness. Katherine Ryan might just be the funniest person on Earth. She’s a brilliant comedian, actress, writer and podcaster who says it exactly how it is.

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.

We cover:

• How Katherine navigated life as a single mum in her twenties
• Shifting her mindset: overcoming insecurities and embracing gratitude
• Her journey to succeed in a male-dominated industry
• Why she treats her kids as capable individuals, not babies
• Overcoming the challenges of maintaining intimacy during pregnancy

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.

Listen to Katherine’s new show, Write Me Dirty, where two comedians write FILTHY fiction about each other, here: OUT NOW!

And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: boysdontcry.co.uk
