Margaret Gardiner went from international cover girl at 16 to Miss Universe at 18, then spent decades inside fashion as the Fashion Editor @goldenglobes.com. With a psychology background, she speaks candidly about how culture and social media frame our worth — and the self-talk, boundaries, and habits that help women see those stories clearly and stay grounded in an image-obsessed world.

When you read "Miss Universe," were you more or less likely to book me? Either way, notice what just happened — that instant read is social framing at work, the same reflex we all use on each other (and on ourselves) every day. It's exactly what my novel digs into, and what I love talking about on air. Let's talk.

I've done everything from co-hosting the Miss Universe pageant to interviewing stars on my Youtube channel to radio and television — most recently for my novel, Damaged Beauty: Joey Superstar - unfortunately I've never saved any of the links - but here's a link to my Youtube Interviews of A-Listers: utube.com/@MargaretGardinerUniverse
