Monica Lewinsky

And so you, you went and it, because they ended it, you went in with a plan of one thing and came out with a plan of another, right?

So we were, my makeup artist was there and, you know, she had touched up my mastectomy scars previously for, um,

like the Academy Awards events that I had gone to, which was right before I had spoken about it, about my breast cancer.

And so she was on set touching them up.

And I just was like, it takes a long time.

And the lighting, it was just... And then it just hit me that I was just... I was tired of being insecure about them because I was really insecure.

There are some other spots that I'm insecure about.

There are some like...

where they had to really dig out some tumors.

It's just concaved in some spots.

But the mastectomy scar is the big one.

And I was like, you know what?

I was thinking about all the other women who have the same scars.

And

that I was probably insecure about them because it's something that so many women are insecure of and that had kind of gone into my subconscious and I just thought, this is going to be proof of how hard I fought.

And I'm proud that I fought hard.

I fought really hard to be here and I fought hard for my baby and I came out the other side

dropping a lot of emotional baggage and being kinder to myself.

And this was just another moment that I said, I'm not going to carry any more emotional baggage if I have the strength to.

Because it is strength to let go of that emotional baggage.
