FEARNE COTTON: How I Set Boundaries & Stopped Being a People Pleaser

FEARNE COTTON: How I Set Boundaries & Stopped Being a People Pleaser

So many of us grew up watching Fearne Cotton on children’s TV and then later listening to her on Radio 1. She’s a broadcasting icon, bestselling author and someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time.


At just 15, Fearne was thrust into the public eye when she began her TV career on Disney Club. With that came a huge pressure to be liked and she felt like she needed to change parts of her personality to fit in and keep people happy.


In this conversation, she opens up about how, despite her success, she often felt she didn’t deserve the opportunities she was given.


In this episode, Fearne shares:

  • How she has learned to let go of people pleasing
  • Her 10 year battle with anxiety which forced her to step away from live radio and TV
  • How she began working on TV aged just 15
  • Working with incredible artists like Eminem and Amy Winehouse
  • Why it’s important to push boundaries and care less about being likeable


This conversation is an important reminder that when you stop worrying so much about what other people think of you, you give space for the real you to shine.


Fearne Cotton is Great Company.
