There was really such a lack of diversity.

So when I entered into it, my beauty standards that I was held to was, yeah, like I wanted to and needed to be like the thinnest I could possibly be because that's how you booked more work.

And I feel like it's changed so much over time, not only because like society has changed, but just me as a person, like as a mum, you know, I feel like I've just become more relaxed around things because the reality is I'm not going to be able to go out and get a skin treatment, you know, every week or a couple of times a week, just the way that my life is set up right now at the moment.

It doesn't mean that it's going to be like that forever.

But

Yeah, it has been an evolution and just to have grace.

I was just – and like give myself grace.

I was talking about this to a journalist just on the way here.

I've shot a Mother's Day campaign for jewellery and I shot that six weeks postpartum and I was like, oh –

I really don't feel like I want to be in front of a camera.

You know, I'm 25 kilos heavier than what I usually am.

I'm putting on weight breastfeeding, but the most important thing to me right now is like the health and wellness of my baby.

So like pushing aside kind of my own vanity, so to speak, you know, to be a mum and that's just part of it.

I think you kind of, as a woman, you go through, you know, waves and phases in your life and just to be

kind to yourself in whatever phase that you're in.

Like, I honestly can't wait to be fit and healthy again.

I can't wait to go and get my regular facials and use my retinol and do all of those things.

But it's just not where I'm at in life.

So like being okay with that.

And that's been really hard.
