Style for Life

Diabetes is rife in New Zealand and with so many people presenting with it I thought it was time to chat to an expert on this and fill in the gaps.   

Clara Fergus is a dietitian who has embarked on a PhD looking at the efficacy of continuous glucose monitors and other diabetes-management strategies such as insulin pumps.

She shared some very enlightening insights on diabetes and also some great tips and tricks to give yourself the best possible chance to prevent it happening to you.   

If you want to contact her for a consultation or for more advice she can be reached by email on:

In this episode I interview my husband David Rumble about his experience of marriage and being married for 30years and I share my thoughts.  

We lament on the challenges and highs of being together so long and we both offer some insights that have worked for us.  

This episode is dedicated to him and the life we have created.  

 

Many thanks to our premium sponsor Clare from Image Innovators

This week I interviewed Maxene London.  She is an expert in all things podcasting and I wanted to share  how the journey and business of podcasting  has evolved over time. 

Maxene is only 29 and has worked in some really interesting places and has so many insights that open up the discussion about podcasting and also help dispel  any myths.  She is a podcast consultant and has also been a judge at the New Zealand podcast awards.   

I interviewed her because many of you have been curious about why I do this podcast and what is in it for me.  Maxene and I explain the altruistic nature of podcasting and how we both see it as a very progressive and fast moving industry with so much potential to grow and expand.

Sometimes I find that clients are not sure which fashion brands will suit their life,  body and even personal preferences.   In this episode I unpack what to look for in a fashion brand,  how to choose a fashion designer (brand) that you you resonate with and give you some industry insights into our New Zealand fashion industry.   

Please note that I have done my best to mention all the brands I have come across and worked with in some capacity.  I acknowledge that I may have left someone out. 

I also want to say how much respect and love I have for our New Zealand designers.   We are a tough market and they all strive to provide excellent and beautiful choices for everyone.  Please do support them.  

I also want to correct my error as Trelise Cooper has four brands and I said she had three.   The four brands are:  

1.  Trelise Cooper

3.  COOP and 

4..  Curate 

I mixed this up in the podcast and want to apologise.
