🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Rita Ora and Steven Bartlett, Rita Ora: “I Lived With Constant Anxiety”…After Being Signed By Jay-Z At 18!!! explores rita Ora Reveals Hidden Anxiety Behind Fame, Family, And Reinvention Rita Ora traces her journey from Kosovo refugee to record-breaking UK pop star, revealing how early family struggle, immigration, and her mother’s cancer shaped her resilience and work obsession. She explains how chasing security and external validation drove her to overwork, rebel in her 20s, and experience severe anxiety and panic attacks at the height of her success. Through therapy, routines, and redefining success, she’s learned to separate her worth from career outcomes and focus on stability, relationships, and creative longevity. The conversation frames her new album as a rebirth: owning her masters, embracing marriage and stepmotherhood, and deliberately crafting a long-term, multidimensional career.
