Susie Taaffe, Founder of Skanties, Discusses How Comfort In Clothing Supports Healthy Body Image and Her Anti-Shapewear

Courageous Wellness

Today we welcome Susie Taaffe, Body Confidence Expert and founder of Skanties, Anti-Shapewear, dedicated to empowering women to embrace their natural form, reject unnatural beauty standards, and celebrate their unique and beautiful bodies. When Susie’s marriage dissolved in 2015, she took it as a massive call to action. Suddenly a single mother with three young kids under the age of 5, Susie used her manufacturing contacts and design experience to turn her anti-shapewear idea into a global business. Popular in Australia and now hitting the U.S. market, Skanties rejects traditional shape wear’s prolonged body compression and the use of non-breathable synthetic materials that can have harmful effects. We have a great conversation on Susie’s own journey with confidence, body image, and discuss all things shape wear. Enjoy the episode!
