The Colour me Kate Podcast
Who is the woman behind the clothes?
As a Personal Image Stylist, Kate Bird's job is to help people dress their physical selves to look and feel their best.
But her work is just as much (if not more) about getting to know the person on the inside as it is about dressing the person on the outside.
This podcast has been born from Kate's love of probing and personal chats with people from all walks of life. Listen as she takes a rummage behind her guests' public masks and discovers their private personas on the inside.
Kate's styling philosophy is: once we understand ourselves on the inside, we can start to dress more aesthetically comfortable on the outside. And dressing authentically results in making better connections with those around us.
What we wear impacts how we feel, everything we do, the choices we make, the life we lead.
Let's take a look at the women behind the clothes.

Karen Beale has gone from penniless single mother to our next Labor candidate in the 2025 State Elections. This is her story.
Karen Beale (52) has just been nominated as the Labor Candidate to represent Kalamunda and surrounding Perth Hills areas in the 2025 State Elections.
A fourth generation Perth Hills girl, Karen grew up clearly understanding that expectations of her were to get married, have children and look after her family.
So that's how Karen's life began: she married at 20, then again and 25 and again at 44 - all whilst raising three children.
Karen found herself a single mother with a toddler and six month old, with not even enough money to buy nappies. She's helped her parents through the devastation of losing everything to bushfire - but through all this she appears only to have grown stronger.
I can confidently say that Karen's drive for social justice has seen her taking on roles in the community that have well exceeded those early expectations of her.
This is Karen's story.
If you'd like to get in touch with Karen, you can email her at: karen.beale@bigpond.com
