Building Confidence and a Bikini Line Empire with Karina Irby

Meet Karina Irby…

Today’s guest could not be more perfect for this time of the year when the sun is out and our buns come out! After being dissatisfied with the quality, cuts and prints available in the Australian bikini market in 2011, Karina Irby decided to do something about it!

Fast forward 10 years and Karina is the head of Team Moana, who are driven by the desire to create the most bright, bold and comfortable swimsuits for women of all shapes and sizes, all around the world. With a strong focus on community, empowerment and body positivity, Moana has grown into a truly international, cult brand with a legion of fans and customers around the world – dubbed ’The Moana Army.’ Now, she uses her personal brand as well as Moana to spread a message of self love and confidence to women all over the world.

Today we are talking about how and why she decided to launch her swimsuit line, we’re diving into a convo around body confidence, the bold new move Pinterest has just decided to make, and her struggles around eczema and showing up with confidence around it.

Hang on to your seat and let’s dive in! This is a good one.

Huha

Is it just me or does your underwear drawer need a major overhaul? I recently discovered Huha, a female-founded line of mineral underwear infused with zinc that promotes healthy bacteria while eliminating odor (bonus: they’re also biodegradable and compostable!). The best part? They’re genuinely comfortable, flattering, size-inclusive… and I actually want to wear them! xo Erin

Life seems to be getting busier than ever, and with summer on the horizon I’m looking for quick, easy ways to fuel my body with nutrient dense foods.
