Getting Dressed Again: Style, Confidence & Finding Yourself After Kids with Holly Elgeti
About this episode
<p>Today we're talking about something I know so many mums will relate to... getting dressed again.</p><p>Not getting dressed in the sense of throwing on whatever's clean before the school run, but genuinely feeling excited to open your wardrobe, putting something on that makes you feel good and reconnecting with the person you are beyond motherhood.</p><p>Because I think for so many of us, having children changes our relationship with style. We spend years dressing for practicality, comfort and everyone else's needs, and somewhere along the way we stop dressing for ourselves. Our bodies change, our priorities change and often our confidence changes too.</p><p>Today's episode is proudly sponsored by M&S and celebrates the launch of their new Body by M&S collection. Throughout today's conversation we'll be exploring why confidence often starts with the foundations, how the right fit can completely transform the way we feel, and why getting dressed should never be about changing who we are—it's about feeling comfortable, supported and confident in the body we have today.</p><p>Joining me today is the wonderful Holly Elgeti. Holly is a personal stylist and content creator who has built an incredibly loyal community by helping women simplify their wardrobes, rediscover their personal style and, perhaps most importantly, feel confident in themselves again. Her approach isn't about following trends or buying an entirely new wardrobe—it's about making fashion feel accessible, wearable and realistic for real women living real lives.</p><p><br/></p><p>Find Holly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollyelgetistyle/</p><p>Find us on instagram: @wearemothertongue</p><p>Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mothertonguethepodcast</p><p><br/></p><p><b>THE MOTHER TONGUE PODBOOK</b></p><p>The Mother Tongue podbook is a collection of interviews with experts on everything you need to know about parenthood from pre-conception all the way through to when your kids starts school.
