Every morning you answer a question - consciously or not. Who do I have to be today? Or, if you're lucky: who do I want to be today? Saskia Marjoram has spent over two decades helping women get back to the second question.

Saskia Marjoram is the founder of Saskia's Flower Essences, a former professional gardener, and spent a decade as assistant florist to the then Prince of Wales before building her own brand from the ground up. She now has a thriving online business and a retail shop in Somerset.

Her world is botanicals and vibrational medicine. But what she's really talking about is the same thing I talk about every day: we're being photographed, filmed and expected to show up as our own personal brand more than ever, and that has changed how women relate to their own image. This conversation is about the gap between who you are and how you're coming across. And what it takes to close it.

We explore:

• How flower essences work and what they actually treat
• Why being constantly photographed has changed how women relate to their own image
• The Speaking with Confidence blend and why Saskia took it before we hit record
• Growing into a piece and what it means when the world finally sees you in it
• You don’t ‘have nothing to wear’ you have nothing to wear for all the things you have to do today
• The energetics of natural fibres, colour, and dressing as a daily act of self-expression
