Recovering from People Pleasing

My guest this week is Kate Okello Tarrant. Kate is a Voice Artist & Actor; Founder of Mrs. OT. After years of establishing a successful career as a voice artist and stage/film actor, motherhood took Kate on an unexpected plot twist as the pandemic hit alongside the birth of her first born. Recognising the lack of support for mothers during this time, she used the career 'pause' to train as a breastfeeding specialist as well as an ante-/postnatal & birth advocate. This has snowballed in tandem with her own mama journey and now exists as an online platform focusing on maternal mental health and wellbeing, as well as hosting in person luxe 'mama only events' across the capital, oftentimes with special guests / industry professionals.In this episode we discuss;The roots of our friendshipThe importance of supporting each otherKate’s background and experiences in her early life and career how that has shaped herThe need for validation and approval in life and how it can lead to people pleasingHow people pleasing can be a form of controlHow to start setting boundariesConnect with Kate:https://www.mrsot.com/https://www.instagram.com/_mrs.ot/Connect with Emily:Emily is an Accredited, Certified Advanced EFT Tapping Practitioner specialising in Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating, with a background in movement and fitness.
