Menopausing in Style with Colour me Kate
Join me while I chat with inspiring middle-aged, menopausal women who share their mid-life achievements and personal behind-closed-door stories - whilst I take a look at how their personal style has evolved along the way.
I'm Kate Bird and I'm a Personal Colour & Stylist at Colour me Kate, located in the Perth Hills of Western Australia. And for more than a decade I've helped women to feel good about how they look in the clothes they wear - and then show them now to go forth to reclaim their identity.
I am also a menopausal, middle-aged woman, and I reckon that THIS can actually be the best time of our lives!
The stories on this podcast will inspire other mid-life women who feel they've lost their identity and that they no longer have much to offer the world.
These stories reveal the exact opposite to be true.
It's time to throw off our invisibility cloak and start talking.

Menopausing in Style with Colour me Kate
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.
