Like if you go to Trinity College, and I'm just using that as an example because I work there,

A lot of the women will run.

They'll be in Ashtanga.

They'll be yoga-ing.

They're very, they have, you know, there are obese women or bigger women, but a lot of them are very good at controlling and engaged in wellness.

I am saying that in inverted commas because wellness is not like,

over-yogaring when you're really tired and you have three kids at home just to keep your body small.

Wellness is loving yourself and listening to your body and saying, okay, maybe I don't need to do that practice today.

And so I make reflections on the different things that we're all influenced by the beauty standard.

But what we do...

The girls that I grew up with are taking trips to Turkey, are booking flights, are booking surgeries on Facebook to go to Turkey to unregulated medical practices to get plastic surgery.

And I think we need to all be a bit more responsible in how we communicate what beauty is and what it isn't, because there's some women that are willing to die, actually.

I think it's the same for all of us.

I think what you're willing to do is different.

So most women I know, it's very rare that you'll meet a woman who does not want to be...

that she wants to get back into, or an old outfit, the way she wants to get back into, or that she's trying to control her body.

Maybe she's smaller and she's trying to control it.

Occasionally you meet women who are smaller who want to get bigger, but they're still aspiring to be different in their own bodies.

So I don't think any of us escape it.

And just to say, this is not a women-only issue.
