Dahlia is joined by Kate Reardon, Editor in Chief of the The Times LUXX Magazine to discuss clothes, confidence and what it really means to live a life of luxury.
Dahlia and Kate discuss the true meaning of luxury and why it is often something that money cannot buy. Included in the conversation is Kate’s own journey to feeling confident – and her view of why having confidence is a luxury in itself. The discussion includes the link between luxury, gratitude and contentment and why a life of luxury is often about making choices that create pleasure not pain.
Kate shares her top tips on seeking out luxury – in the places where you may not expect to find them!
