in my early 30s, I would say.
Boundaries are something that I didn't grow up with.
And that was a kind of a beautiful thing and a terrible thing all at the same time.
And I've learned, I think maybe now that we are, that mental health is more of a discussion in life, you know, people are having therapy a lot more and being honest about that.
And therapy for me has always been a massive thing.
And boundaries is the first thing that I learned about in therapy.
So part of who I am will always be that I forget the boundaries.
But it's something I really, really try to every day practice, having my own boundaries and not worrying about upsetting people when you create those boundaries.

But then what she meant was...
She said, what I mean by that is that you can't really kind of put you in any of them because you're relatable and personable to every kind of class.
And I think I grew up in a very mixed way like that.
Even though my parents were who they were and we were privileged in a lot of ways and we had a big, beautiful house and we went on nice holidays.
We didn't go to private school.
