This week’s guest is a real go-getter - the determined, inspiring and hilarious Kath Sheeran. Kath was a finance broker in her 20s and 30s, before reinventing herself in her 40s and becoming Australia’s shopping guru. Kath ran a popular blog and online directory, Shopping Confessions, which led to her becoming a regular on our TV screens and in the media, including a column in the Sunday Telegraph. But one reinvention wasn’t enough for Kath. At 50 she decided to make a big tree change and buy a farm with her husband Mike. Kath is now a happy flower farmer who owns a shop in Burringbar, and she’s also a close girlfriend of Di and Nicola. 

In this episode, we hear about Kath’s incredible career journey from finance broker, to shopping guru, to flower farmer and why Kath thinks it’s essential to always follow your heart and have passion for what you do. She talks about what it was like growing up as the daughter of Greek immigrants and how that contributed to her work ethic and go-getter attitude.

Kath shares the funny story of what happened the first time she was asked to appear on live television for The Morning Show, which was such a success that it became a regular shopping segment on the show. 

We hear why Kath and her husband Mike decided they needed a change and made the big call to buy a farm in Burringbar, despite having always been city folk. We get an insight into how much life has changed for Kath over the past few years and the steps along the way in her journey to becoming a fake farmer (as she lovingly refers to herself). Kath also opens up about her beautiful relationship with her husband Mike and what she thinks is the key to their happy marriage. 

We absolutely loved having Kath in the studio. Her enthusiasm is infectious, she is full of funny stories and we hope you enjoy laughing along with us.
