A Letter to the Wife Struggling to Believe Her Body is Fearfully and Wonderfully Made // Rebekah Olson

Letters to Women - Exploring the Feminine Genius

In this second episode of the Letters to Wives season, Rebekah Olson and I are talking about what it looks like to run a business with your spouse—and her business, Ginger and Peach, happens to be a model-free lingerie company that she started out of her one room bedroom apartment.

Now she and her husband run a team of seamstresses all sewing from their homes in the US - and they partner with an ethical manufacturer in Nepal to bring fresh starts and fulfilled lives to women living in the margins.

We’re talking about her company, her advice if you’re listening in and think that there’s no way you could ever be confident in lingerie, and she’s dismantling some of the lies that we believe about our bodies as wives.

So if you’ve a wife looking to ditch the comparison and embrace your true worth as wonderfully made and loved, this letter is for you.

Topics we cover:

• Rebekah’s story as a woman and a wife

• The origin story of Ginger & Peach Lingerie

• How Rebekah honors the dignity and beauty of each woman by running a model-free lingerie company

• Why you don’t actually need lingerie to heal your body image or to have a great marriage - and what DOES bring healing in your heart

• How Rebekah’s husband, Andrew, spoke the truth over her desire to start a business and inspired her to become a lingerie designer

• The lies that we believe as women when it comes to our bodies and shame
