Like we begged for revisit shows because people would fundamentally change their lives after that moment in the mirror.

They'd leave no good fiancés.

They'd buy camper vans.

They'd set up businesses.

They'd go travelling.

All this great stuff happened because they were empowered.

They had empowered themselves and given themselves permission to thrive.

So then I thought, well, I that's kind of amazing.

And I started getting pulled into kind of working to support charities and nonprofits and stuff like that.

And it was all a bit haphazard.

And I thought, well, actually, I come from privilege.

I always have a double privilege of not wanting for anything, but also being loved and trusted by the family that created me.

And I think that's a solid gold gift that I have an opportunity to kind of leverage and use in a way that can help others.

And I read about Dress for Success, which was kind of like...

grassroots makeovers.

It was like, get out into the trenches, see the women who really, really need support, give them the permission, the tools, the clothing, the guidance to get sustainable careers, moving towards economic independence.

And then that changes everything.

And I was initially attracted to children's charities because I thought they're the most vulnerable in our society.

And I read a piece of research, a very depressing piece of research, which I've been pilloried for before, but I'm going to say it again.
