What could you be doing instead?
I want to talk about something with you. It’s about the way that women invest so much energy into controlling our bodies. You know the story; food, dieting, exercises, surgeries and all that beauty standards b.s. Patriarchy, blah, blah, blah.

Last year I was pretty impressed with myself for becoming a morning person. It had been a lifetime struggle resetting my body clock.
