Welcome back to another episode of MOO BOU’s Fashion Unplugged. This week we are bringing the high street to the podcast...we’ll be talking about changing room dilemmas, the items you need in your wardrobe and shopping in store vs online. And to help with this we have our very special guests from the MOO BOU shop Michelle and Tina!

Michelle and Tina tell us about the community that surrounds the MOO BOU shop, building trust and relationships with customers as they offer their expert styling knowledge. They chat about heart-warming encounters and funny stories that show just how important it is to have the face-to-face interactions at the shop.

Imparting their wisdom on styling body shapes, sharing the key pieces from MOO BOU that everyone loves and helping you get the most out of your wardrobe by restyling the items you love.

Fashion unplugged is back and this week we are talking about the very important topic of boundaries. We have a very special guest, Pauline, who can talk us through the relationships we hold with others, the notion of people pleasing and protecting ourselves with boundaries.

Pauline has had a career as a director in Human Resources for many years and 10 years ago changed her career into executive coaching. Then after the pandemic Pauline reevaluated this and decided to become a personal coach, helping many people to uncover what’s getting in the way, aligning who you truly are to live the life that you want to live.

We chat all about the fear attached to boundaries and how we overcome this so our relationships in our work and personal life can thrive. Pauline and Jen will be sharing their own experiences of how boundaries can be set, and delve into how we need to set boundaries in the changing rooms too! Questioning why we seek validation from others in what we wear and why we need to set these boundaries in order to feel truly positive and confident in ourselves.
