🌴83. I got styled by Cate Massi: Here’s the inside scoop


Hey, it’s Leanne, and today’s episode is a little different—I just wrapped up a personal styling session with the incredible Cate Massi, and I had to bring you along for the debrief.
This is actually the second time I’ve worked with Cate, and once again, she absolutely nailed it.
In this episode, I chat with Cate about:
✅ How she got into styling and the life-changing conversations she’s had in fitting rooms
✅ The biggest mistakes we make when shopping for ourselves (guilty!)
✅ Why identifying your personal style genre is key to feeling confident
✅ The three pillars of great style: fit, functionality, and flair
✅ Why shopping with a stylist is actually a money-saver, not just a splurge
✅ The standout pieces we picked up—including my new favourite sneakers and the ultimate trench coat
Cate has a gift for getting you to try things you’d usually walk straight past—and making them work perfectly.
She also breaks down how to shop with purpose so you build a wardrobe that actually works for your lifestyle.
If you’ve ever stared at your closet thinking, I have nothing to wear, or you’ve fallen into a style rut, this episode is for you.
