15: The Mid Year Style Check-In

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 • Duration 42:36

It’s the halfway point of the year—can you believe it? If you started 2025 saying, “This is the year I’ll finally sort my style out” or “I’m going to find my colours and feel confident in what I wear,” now is the perfect time to pause and reflect.

In this episode, I guide you through a gentle but honest mid-year check-in. It’s not about guilt or should-haves—it’s about tuning into how you're really feeling about your style, your wardrobe, and your confidence.

You’ll hear reflective questions like:

Do you feel more like yourself in your clothes now than you did in January?
Are you still defaulting to black because colour feels too hard?
Is your wardrobe supporting your lifestyle—or stressing you out?

And we’ll chat through practical, doable steps you can take in the second half of the year to move closer to your goals:

How to make small shifts without starting from scratch
The difference it makes to know your colour palette
Why now is a great time to refresh, reset, and reframe how you see your style

Wherever you're at—whether you’re feeling stuck, inspired, or somewhere in between—this episode is for you.

14: What Exactly Is Colour Analysis and Why Does It Matter?

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 • Duration 33:19

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on colour analysis — what it is, how it actually works, and why it’s so much more than just holding up a few colour swatches.

I’ll walk you through the full process I use with my clients, from the first impressions to the technical details I’m looking for when I figure out someone’s season. We’ll get into things like undertones, depth, clarity, temperature — all the nerdy (but fascinating!) parts of how colours interact with our natural features.

I’m also sharing some of the common mistakes people make when trying to guess their own colours, and why professional analysis can make such a huge difference.

If you’ve ever wondered how colour analysis actually works behind the scenes — and why it's about so much more than just “what looks nice” — this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the power of finding your best colours.

13: Champagne, Style & Skincare with Kirsten Smith founder of Bettyquette

Wednesday, April 23, 2025 • Duration 54:36

In this episode of Life in Colour, I'm joined by the fabulous Kirsten Smith — wife, mum, midlife cheerleader, and founder of Bettyquette, a skincare brand born from resilience, honesty, and a whole lot of heart.

Kirsten and I chat about everything from business beginnings and travel tales to juggling motherhood and prioritising health — and how, through a season of adversity and illness, the idea for Bettyquette was born.

We talk about what it means to age with grace and grit, the surprising upsides of midlife, and why a good serum and a splash of champagne can go a long way.

Kirsten is a former early childhood teacher turned content creator and accidental founder of the award-winning skincare brand, Bettyquette. Based in Brisbane, Australia, she has spent the past decade sharing authentic, relatable life and style inspiration with her online community. Kirsten’s life took an unexpected turn when, at the age of 42, she began losing her eyesight and was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The daily cocktail of medication she relied on to save her eyesight left her skin dry, dull, and dehydrated—yet nothing on the market provided the deep hydration her skin so desperately needed. Determined to find a solution, she created her own: a hydrating face oil. That one product became the foundation of Bettyquette, a natural skincare brand dedicated to helping women achieve healthy, glowing skin with products that truly work.

12: What You’ll See in Stores This Autumn—And How to Wear It for Your Season

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 28:50

There’s a lot hitting the shelves right now—rich autumn colours, layered textures, and accessories that look great… but don’t always feel great when you try them on. In this episode, I’m talking through what you’ll actually see in stores this season and how to make it work for you—without the overwhelm.

I’ll walk you through these colours, cuts, and must-have pieces, and more importantly, how to figure out which versions of those colours will suit your season. Because olive, rust, burgundy—they’re not one-size-fits-all. And the right shade makes all the difference.

So if you’ve ever stood in a change room thinking, “Why doesn’t this look right on me?”, this one will help you shop with more confidence, more clarity—and way less guesswork.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Jo Clark takes over the mic to interview me as I share my story of living with endometriosis since I was 14 and the life-changing decision to have a hysterectomy at 41.
