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
Maya Polanski (41) was given a shock breast cancer diagnosis last year but coped by self-distraction, taking control and always having fun with her personal style.
Straight after recording this episode, I picked up the phone and booked myself a mammogram. When was the last time you had yours?
Imagine yourself as a fit and healthy young woman in your prime - in fact you've just celebrated your fortieth birthday.
You're a successful engineer, working on a mine site in a remote part of Western Australia for much for the year.
And then you feel a lump.
This is what happened just last year to my colour client, Maya Polanski.
At the age of just forty, Maya discovered that she had breast cancer and her life went from the controlled environment of a mine site laboratory, to putting her body and future in the hands of surgeons and oncologists.
During the scary following months of treatment, Maya found ways to distract her mind and regain some control on her life.
Throughout it all though, Maya found that distracting herself and taking control of her spiraling life was never at the expense of her creativity and her unusual sense of personal style.
This is Maya's story.
