Hello everyone and welcome back to season three of the She Nets Says podcast. We were actually

about to start two weeks ago but I had a bit of writer's block like I was just like do

you know when you like are out of whack so So I'm a little bit out of whack.

So let me like ease into it. I'm going to try and keep it short and sweet today because it's the first episode. So I thought, you know, it's Christmas time. People aren't going out for long walks anymore. It's too cold, so I was like, I'll keep it short and sweet.

I mean, I always intend to keep it short and

sweet and then here I am like an hour into a podcast but anyway I try to keep it short and sweet

so I'm currently in ballet at this moment in time we're staying here for Christmas which I don't know

I'm kind of sad about as well because we were we are we had booked the flights home and we booked a return

flight and we were going to go home for Christmas given that there was no quarantine on the

way back to um indonesia which has now tuned up to 10 days if it was three days or five days

you probably would have went ahead but like to do to another 10 days in quarantine i mean i feel like i spent this whole year

in quarantine what it's like but um so yeah i'm really i'm really sad about that but at the end of the day

me and jack are gonna try and have really fun christmas we're actually decorating today there's glitter

everywhere like i'm literally there's i can't even describe how much it's all over my face. But, um, so yeah, that's just like my little life update. Um, not that you asked, but, um, you know what? I toyed with the day today, like what we're going to talk about. I think I was going to talk about identity and like how to change your identity.

I just felt this was a really important article, especially this time of year, Christmas time,

when we are eating a little bit more, we're a little bit more insecure about our bodies. And,

you know, we, yeah, so I thought this was a great opportunity to talk about the way we talk about

other people and the way we talk about

ourselves. So I did write a few emails and articles on this before and it was really sparked by

what trolls and stuff were saying to me about like, you know, how I looked or how my friends

looked or anything like that. And it was really sparked because I was just like, how is this

normal? So yeah, like some of the things that, you know, you read on your friends, Instagrams or, you know, any bloggers, something like that, obviously they're a bit more prone because they've got a bigger audience, you know, you know, things like, oh, I don't like her lips or she's too pale though, isn't she? You know, you know things that let people say in passing, You know, oh my God, did you see her outfit? What about her handbag? Oh my God, no. All right. So there's things like that, like, you know, oh my God, who's think she's got such a flat ass? But she's too bulky or she's too skinny. Oh my God. Like, have you seen her eyeliner?
