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.
