Ep.91. Out of the Bubble with Emma Parker, Founder of Playful Promises.

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 Her anti-establishment streak is drawn to this book and it's interesting to see possible similarities over the last few years of the pandemic! What song motivates you?  - Anything by Leonard Cohen Who inspires you? Emma shared her love for designer Thierry Mugler who sadly passed away last week, he really was a creative genius.  www.playfulpromises.com Instagram @playfulpromises https://www.playfulpromises.com/blogs/news/how-to-accessorize-and-style-lingerie-by-our-founder-emma Don't miss any of the inspiring Out of the Bubble women, you can go and subscribe at www.rachelperu.co.uk and come and say hello on Instagram! With a new year comes new plans and I'm excited to move the Out of the Bubble platform forward in 2022. I have now created a FREE "Step Out of the Bubble" 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 the podcast, I am missing that interaction from you all and am keen to expand this to provide a platform 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 I'll be back next week, so in the meantime, .... Keep being fabulous Rachel x (Music credited to Scott Holmes- By Big Adventure)
