I've been wanting to have this weeks guest on the podcast for awhile so I'm delighted she managed to join me.
This week I'm joined by Emma Parker, the founder of Playful Promises. If you haven't heard about this brand then you're in for a treat. Playful Promises is a lingerie and swimwear brand that is ground breaking it's wide range of sizes (+90) and use of diverse models.
Featuring in their Ageless Fashion campaign was definitely a career highlight of 2021. I love that Emma is committed to include the older woman in to the lingerie conversation. We had a lot to talk about!
Subjects covered
How Emma moved from Law to the fashion and lingerie industry
Why representation matters
How lingerie can cost your confidence
Societies judgement on older women who express their sensuality
Societies fear of ageing
The importance of seeing older women in lingerie advertising
Clearing out your lingerie draws and make sure the fits right
Don't save your lingerie or clothes for best
What book inspires you? 1984 - George Orwell

With a new year comes new plans and I'm excited to move the Liberte Free to Be platform forward in 2022.
I have now created a FREE "Step Liberte Free to Be" private group.
Last year has really shown us all the benefit of making new connections and gaining support from one another. Whilst I love sharing all the inspiring women on this page I am missing that interaction from you all and am keen to expand this to provide a platfrom where you can all interact and share your own midlife journeys to inspire and help motivate other women.
A safe space to share and feel part of a community of women all finding their own way through midlife.
Where you get to hear from amazing women who are embracing life and leaving a trail of inspiration along the way.
Encouraging women after 40 to try something new and step out of their own bubble.
A group to share, celebrate wins, encourage and support other members.
It's your time to shine! Join here
