Journey to Finding Self Love
Pear Collections has had the privilege of working with some inspiring women who are celebrating their artistic passions and have turned them into businesses. While our mission is to help women love their curves and feel comfortable in their clothing, our other mission is to support fellow women in business who are going after their dreams. After all, that’s what owner and lead designer Angie Martin did when creating Pear Collections.
Our latest collaboration is one that the team has been quietly working on behind the scenes for a while now, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. For this project, we partnered with another incredibly inspiring woman, Christine Innes from The Corporate Escapist.
Who is Christine Innes?
In her past life, Christine was a corporate superstar, earning a great wage and climbing the ‘success’ ladder. However, corporate life wasn’t sustainable for her as it took a toll on her both mentally and physically until she eventually hit rock bottom. Instead of staying there, Christine decided to pick herself up, rebuild her life, and follow her true passion – helping fellow business owners achieve their goals.
Today, Christine is an author, speaker, coach, and founder of The Corporate Escapists Program and Magazine.
Journey to Finding Self-Love
By following her passion for helping others, Christine created The Corporate Escapists to provide a safe place for others to learn, grow, and be supported, helping them escape the 9-to-5 life and embrace their true callings. The stories shared through this great community help individuals like you and me understand what it’s like behind the scenes of creating passion-project businesses and following their dreams.
Christine has gone from broke and broken to creating a life she truly loves. She can now wake up every day, living life to the fullest, and it is her mission to help you do the same. Throughout this journey, she has also been able to look inside and focus on loving and valuing herself. Because at the end of the day, she knew she couldn’t create the life of her dreams until she knew she deserved it.
By finding self-love, Christine has been able to build an empire that helps others become the best versions of themselves.
Collaboration and Joining Our Community
As you would have guessed, Pear Collections instantly connected with Christine when we first met at a business event a year ago. With our two missions being all about supporting others in loving and valuing themselves, it almost seems as if we were meant to discover each other.
Due to this connection, the two brands have participated in multiple projects together this past year. Together, we have been supporting one another while also supporting each other’s communities the best way we know how – sharing our stories. The projects below are just the beginning of this partnership, so make sure you stay tuned for more, much, much more!
The Project (Part 1)
For this collaboration, Christine and the Pear team got together and featured Pear Collections in The Corporate Escapist Running Wild magazine.
We were thrilled to be a part of such an important edition, as Running Wild was focused on promoting inspirational stories to help you live your best life while following your dreams. Ultimately, running with your life and business. Topics discussed in this feature included:
- Kathi Tait: How I Found My WILD
- Ana Angelique: Be Uniquely You…ALWAYS
- Ingrid Galloway: Allow Yourself to be Free and Wild
- Amanda Sanders: Mindset and Business
- And of course, us! Pear Collections: Learning to Love Your Curves
Besides these headline features, there were many more inspirational titbits discussed throughout this edition to help make the most of 2022.
For our Learning to Love Your Curves feature, our team discussed how and why our community was created, the concept of prioritising Capsule Collections as a more sustainable option than Fast Fashion as a clothing brand, and what can be expected from us in the future
