22/100 TAKE 2: Andrea Rowe. Author with a post it note Andrea Rowe has the super power of crafting words that will hold a child's attention with their eyes, and their minds. 

The super power to help adults process a situation. 

The super power that gave a young girl permission to be fearless. To not be afraid to jump off her bed.... or jetty. 

Even after reading at Parliament to all the important decision makers and children invite to this special occasion; I asked- where is your favourite place to read? 

Andrea said- in a Regional area out on tour with young minds.

Andrea has an imagination and a post it note waiting for the next yarn but it was her story that held me captive and I hope yours too.

Love Kate

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.

Working from her studio just outside Port Campbell is an artist of Millinerary. 

Susans (or Sue) hats aren't just a hat but a peice of art.

From teacher to creator this is a story that starts in the class room, fills the kitchen table and ends with an extra room being built at the house. 

It's a story of making something with your hands and trying, and placing and rejigging until it is just right.

It's about choosing to follow a passion. Even if it means travelling 3 plus hours every week to learn a new skill.

It's a story about evolving. 

This is a special edition of the 100 Women in 100 days that celebrates the women in dairy and the land in Southwest Victoria.

Caz Rowland decides to start her own label. 

After working with women, going back to study to really understand the blocks that women put up around their bodies she set out to change the narrative. 

Caz is so full of energy. A passion and there is something (like many of our women of influence) that have had to learn and fight and find a path their own way that is so captivating. 

Caz is an open book. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I love bringing it to you. 

Love Kate

21/100 TAKE 2: Caz Rowland. If can start at 50 & you can too

When was the last time you asked yourself if you are happy? When was the last time you asked yourself 'am I happy at work?'

This is Dr Kat Page and she explains and talks about being Happy. Well, that's where we start. But not like happy skipping around the place more about the; am I feeling content? Am I challenged just enough?

Kat is an organisational psychologist, researcher and leadership advisor, and the author of Good Work: Transforming Your Work from the Inside Out (Wiley, 1 April 2026).

And, again. I'm sorry not sorry! But I thought talking to Kat would be like talking to Wendy from Billions. I quickly found out no. That's not really where her research and work is grounded in. 

For Kat, it is about Happiness. 

I actually think I had the wind knocked out of me. I couldn't remember the last time I thought about being Happy at work. For me I just love it. And I loved this chat with Kat because she challenged my thinking. 

I hope it will, yours too. 
Her book isn't designed for the managers and leaders but to empower you. 

Loved it! 

Also note her book and work includes- burnout is a systems failure, not a personal one  and the next era of leadership isn’t about training people for resilience to cope; it’s about redesigning work so performance and wellbeing can coexist. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. 

Wow. I want to go back and listen again. 

Love Kate
