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?
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.
