Karina Irby On Being A Childfree Woman And The Opinions That Come With It | Let's Be Real

Karina Irby is choosing to be childfree. And the opinions? Loud. In this episode of Let's Be Real, Emilee sits down with Karina Irby, founder of Moana Bikini, to talk about body confidence, the cost of people-pleasing in business and what it's like to build a life that doesn't match what everyone else expects. Karina gets candid about the Moana rebrand that brought her to one of her lowest points, the eczema post she nearly didn't share that accidentally started a community, and why she names and shames her online trolls instead of taking the high road. She also shares what real confidence actually looks like when the pressure to look, act and live a certain way is constant. 0:00 Welcome Karina Irby 0:50 The Moana Rebrand and What Went Wrong 3:43 Tariffs, Manufacturing and Business Survival 9:14 Body Confidence and the Eczema Post 17:11 Naming and Shaming Online Trolls 19:49 The Truth About Influencer Culture 22:12 Choosing to Be Childfree 29:42 Building Real Confidence --- Welcome to Nova's YouTube Channel!
