In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with Karina Irby - founder of Moana Bikini - to uncover the real story behind building one of Australia’s most recognizable swimwear brands.
But behind the confidence and success was a young girl struggling with severe eczema, bullying, and feeling completely different from everyone around her.
Karina opens up about growing up with a skin condition, dealing with trolls online, building confidence through vulnerability, and how she turned her biggest insecurity into the thing that helped millions of people feel less alone.
We dive into: Growing up with severe eczema Being bullied at school Building Moana Bikini from scratch Responding to online trolls Confidence, resilience, and body positivity Turning pain into purpose This episode is funny, emotional, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that the things we struggle with most can become our greatest strength.
