On episode 123 of The Diet Diaries I’m talking with plus size model, digital creator and founder of the Properly Fitting Bra Club, Caralyn Mirand Koch.

I’ve been inspired by and learning from Caralyn for several years on Instagram  and am thrilled to have her on the podcast as a resource for our community. 

Caralyn shows up in a way that is real, relatable and authentically herself and that’s why I have followed along on her journey for so long. I have tried and loved not just bras, makeup and clothes she’s suggested, but also learned so much from her about living confidently in a fuller body.

This conversation is packed with so many incredible insights and tools including:

• How Caralyn separated using her body for her work as a model from her own self worth
• The core values of the community she has created
• Caralyn’s perspective on evolving her business and how she connects with women at all life stages
• How Caralyn navigated the constant feedback about her plus size body as a model
• What the definition of plus size is and the meaning that’s been assigned to the term
• Why Caralyn is proud to represent the “in betweener” sizes (and what that means)
• The idealized plus size shape and how that’s evolving over time
• The important of representing all types of plus size bodies
• The power of simply witnessing someone existing and living their life in their body as a way to normalize different body shapes and sizes
• How Caralyn became an expert in undergarments and why they’ve been such an integral part of feeling good in her skin
• Caralyn’s perspective on hair and makeup and how it impacts body image
• Caralyn’s number one skill for creating body confidence and how she works through body insecurities 

I hope you feel seen and connected by listening to this conversation and know that you are never alone in navigating how to find your own body confidence and feel at ease in your own skin.

You can find Caralyn on Instagram, her website where she shares so much useful and helpful fashion, beauty, lifestyle and mindset content on her blog and on Facebook in the Properly Fitting Bra Club.
