Dahlia is joined by Lauren Currie to discuss the why women supporting women is a radical idea, the key to building confidence and why we should never be scared to show we are trying.

Lauren has coached over 10,000 women on what it means to build your confidence through her online programme UPFRONT Bond. In the conversation she explains that whilst no-one ever graduates from the university of confidence, we all have ways that we can build our confidence, get comfortable in the skin that we are in and critically - get comfortable with truly celebrating the success of others around us rather than seeing their success as our failure.

Lauren and Dahlia discuss the link between clothes and confidence and Lauren gives her perspective declaring 2025 the year of miniskirts and cowboy boots - because WHY NOT!
