You might know Kate Forster for her sharp TikTok opinions, but who was she before becoming a popular author and our favourite fashion critic?
In this episode, we revisit Kate’s childhood, growing up with a father battling severe alcoholism. She shares how his struggles led to a suicide attempt, one she witnessed firsthand, and how alcohol ultimately took his life just 11 weeks after his diagnosis.
This is a conversation about love, loss, and the lasting impact of addiction, told with the raw honesty Kate is known for.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses themes of substance abuse and suicide.
