The Colour me Kate Podcast - who are you, really?
Having recently been diagnosed with a Functioning Disorder (which led to the temporary shut down of my business for three months), I've become even more fascinated by the 'real' person behind the 'socially masked' person.
A Functioning Disorder is an umbrella term for a group of symptoms in the body that stem from the emotional processing in our brains. In other words, if you screw the lid too tightly on all the feelings for too many decades, the body breaks out in complaint.
My diagnosis, subsequent research and therapy has piqued my interest in digging down into the core of who other people really are. Because my theory is that understanding others helps us to understand ourselves.
Helloo! I'm Kate Bird, 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 on the outside - and now I'm having a good old dig around to discover who they are on the inside.
Who are you, really?

The Colour me Kate Podcast - who are you, really?
Peta Fissioli (51) tells how she has more respect for her body now because she's fallen in love with clothes again. This is Peta's story.
My very first guest on this podcast is Peta Fissioli.
I met Peta a couple of times last year when she joined one of my Discover your Colours workshops, and then shortly afterwards, The Body Shape Rules workshop.
Peta (51) grew up in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia and lived a happy, country life with her parents and older sister.
Although never a slave to fashion, and despite (or maybe because of) being dressed in her sister's hand-me-downs, as a teenager Peta took her fashion influences from Vogue magazine - when she wasn't wearing WHAM! t-shirts!
Sill living in WA's Wheatbelt and now 51, Peta has been married twice, divorced twice, has two grown children, and two jobs which, you'd be forgiven for thinking, surprisingly seem to contradict each other.
Peta chats about her life so far, and how entering into menopause and middle age threw a spanner into her wardrobe.
If you'd like to get in touch with Peta, you can find her on Instagram here: Cornerstone Health Wellness.
