Do you rely on addictions to food, alcohol, work or other survival tools to cope with anxiety or trauma? Do you hide your true self behind a mask? Are you ready to embrace vulnerability and thrive? In this deeply personal talk, Katherine Baldwin shares her experience of emotional overeating and binge drinking while working as a high-flying Reuters journalist, along with her journey of recovery, suggesting that when we are brave enough to connect to ourselves, to others and to the world, we find freedom from our traps and flourish.

Katherine Baldwin is a wellbeing and mental health speaker, a trauma-informed coach specialising in self-love, healthy relationships, addictions, #selfsabotage and burnout and the author of ‘How to Fall in Love’. Katherine shares her struggles with an #eatingdisorder, dysfunctional relationships, stress, imposter syndrome and breakdown, as well as the tools that helped her to transform, to support and inspire others to love themselves, grow in self-esteem and confidence, create fulfilling lives, find healthy love, and achieve their full potential while staying well. Through her work, she aims to break the #stigma around mental health and addiction and inspire people to live authentically and wholeheartedly.
