I was like, just wear the shorts, wear the damn shorts.

The only person who's got a problem with your legs is you.

And I actually posted on Facebook and LinkedIn.

And the amount of comments I had from other women who were like, oh, my God, I feel the same about my legs.

Or, you know, people were like, what's wrong with your legs?

And it's like, no, I know you don't think there's anything wrong with my legs.

It's all me.

It's me sharing from a place of discomfort because I knew that other people would be able to relate to it.

And for me, you know, I talk about being short and curvy all the time and

And for me, it's not necessarily to prove that I'm body positive, but it's to say to other people, embrace who you are.

Because society will try to shrink you.

They will try to keep you small.

They will try to keep you silent or shame you for having opinions.

And it breaks my heart when especially female entrepreneurs hold themselves back because they're worried about what other people will think, not recognizing that that vulnerable moment actually opens the door.

You'll have people in your DMs.

It will at some point come back to you in dream clients wanting to work with you because they've seen the real you, not just this kind of perfectly polished, you know,

I don't turn up to my client calls with like 50s pinup hair and a red lip.

So I think it's that, I guess, self-trust that how you show up is what is really going to magnetise clients to you.

Now, you've done something that not a lot of people would normally have access to you.

And you actually had your own documentary filmed, didn't you?
