Get Changed with Kat Farmer
“Menopause took over my wardrobe choices” (ft Kate Thornton)
In this episode I sit down with TV, Radio & Podcast Presenter Kate Thornton for a candid conversation about the fashion influencers of our childhood from Sade to Queen Elizabeth and the stylist Kate has kept by her side for decades. And with startling honesty, Kate also describes her menopause journey and how it affected the way she felt walking into her wardrobe. Through Kate’s blend of warmth and realness about her symptoms, she opens up on her experience with the menopause, how she lost herself in the process and finding herself again.

50:58||Season 1, Ep. 5She’s a mother, a wife, a TV presenter (with 35 years under her belt), radio broadcaster, fellow podcast host, a wellbeing warrior and very good friend of mine - Gaby Roslin joins me for some throwback chat and lots of laughter. We talk about our sewing mothers, manifesting through fashion and our male fashion influencers from John Travolta to our husbands. Listen as she tells me about how her love for movies and enthusiasm for repurposing old buys has played a massive part in her outfit choices and about that awkward moment Liza Minnelli nearly made her cry!

42:04||Season 1, Ep. 4With a successful TV career spanning three decades from presenting to acting as dozens of characters, Tazmin Outhwaite is a pro when it comes to playing dress up. We throw it back to discuss her Essex girl style and trying to match outfits to her fringe. Moving on, we also share tips on dressing like an organised woman. Tamzin unpacks how recycling your wardrobe can provide the same dopamine as retail therapy – a perspective so relevant to today’s times and one I love!

46:06||Season 1, Ep. 2If there’s anyone who isn’t afraid of a flamboyant, maximalist style it’s the ever so talented Siobhan Murphy aka Interior Curve. You’ll know her from BBC2’s ‘Interior Design Masters’ with her unapologetic approach to home style tearing up the rulebooks and celebrating every colour of the rainbow. This ‘More is More’ (also the name of her upcoming book) attitude is quite obviously mirrored in her dress sense from multicoloured wigs to wild clashing prints. There’s never a dull piece in sight! In this podcast, she joins me to chat about experimental fashion, being a magpie, the effects of toxic relationships and the dark and dingy corners of plus size clothing.

47:54||Season 1, Ep. 1Ever got more excited about finding a good pen than you did about sex? Or found more joy in getting changed from your day pyjamas into your night pyjamas? Then you, my friend, understand MIDULTHOOD. Annabel Rivkin and Emilie McMeekan (as a pair known as The Midults) are the popular agony aunts who do cutting the c*ap better than most. They look at the inner monologues of women, tracking the panic and the potential; the anxiety and the wisdom; the hunger and the horrors of all our emotional lives. In this episode of Get Changed they join me to talk about decades of fashion sins, unexpected wedding items and relaunching yourself with clothes.You can buy the book that inspired this podcast, Get Changed: Finding The New You Through Fashion by Kat Farmer at Amazon and several other booksellers.Get Changed with Kat Farmer is created and hosted by me Kat Farmer and edited by Joel Grove.
