Meet Molly Hopkins: The Woman Behind LiviRae’s “Let Us Lift You Up” Movement
By ASI EFROS
In my latest Intimate Talks interview with Molly Hopkins, the owner of LiviRae Lingerie, we explore the heart, history, and vision behind her store. Its motto, “Let us lift you up,” is far more than a tagline. It’s a promise.
In the world of intimate apparel, few boutiques have created a movement as powerful or as heartfelt as LiviRae Lingerie. Founded in Kennesaw, Georgia, it’s a space where women can finally experience bras designed for them, not forced onto them, where confidence is restored, stories are shared, and bodies of every shape and size are celebrated.
Molly’s story begins long before television, fame, or national recognition. Her early years working at Intimacy revealed a major gap in the industry: women with larger busts, post-surgical needs, or unique fit challenges were often overlooked. Determined to change that, Molly followed her intuition, her craft, and the sewing skills handed down from her grandmother. In 2006, LiviRae Lingerie was born.
From the beginning, LiviRae was built on inclusivity. The philosophy was simple and radical: “No bust too big or small, we fit ’em all.” Molly’s vision extended beyond racks and bra sizes. She wanted to create a place where women felt safe enough to exhale, where fittings became conversations, where laughter, vulnerability, and emotional connection were just as important as measurements. Over the years, her boutique evolved into something unique, a sisterhood-like community that returned generation after generation.
That authenticity eventually caught the attention of television producers, leading to the hit Lifetime series Double Divas, where Molly’s charisma and humor made her an instant favorite. Filming came with challenges, but it also introduced millions of women to the possibility of a life-changing fit. More importantly, it gave Molly a platform to show what LiviRae had always stood for. As she shares in our conversation, the impact of the show is still felt today, with families who watched together still making the journey to her boutique.
But LiviRae’s magic is not only in its fittings, it’s in its thoughtful approach to business. Molly uses customer insights with intention, creating personalized experiences, building community partnerships, and connecting women across cities through her “Boobs on Tour” mobile pop-up events. She is also candid about the importance of legal due diligence, financial literacy, and building a trusted team, lessons she learned the hard way and now openly shares to support other entrepreneurs.
She speaks passionately about the upcoming fashion runway show “Bravolution” organized and curated by Molly and her team. It features an extraordinary 80-piece lingerie collection inspired by the vintage designs from the early 1900s, mixed and matched with the pieces from lingerie brands she carries in her store.
Today, Molly is expanding her creative wings even further. In our interview, she reveals her plans for a stand-up comedy variety show and a journey into writing and performing music. She is also developing “mini bratiques”, a blueprint for low-investment, women-centered businesses meant to uplift communities and give more women access to the economic freedom she’s built for herself.
If you want to be a part of a movement, one built on confidence, connection, and the belief that when a woman feels supported, she becomes unstoppable, reach out or simply stop by the store and begin your evolution.
