Carla Dunareanu Instagram – As the conversation continues, I’m realising it’s bringing back a lot of buried emotions I first had when I entered the industry. Extreme feelings of anxiety, self doubt and hating my body. As a woman it already takes so long to fall in love with who YOU are. It’s takes years of internalising and active work to embrace our bodies. And I’m finally in a place where I can truly say “my body is amazing”, so to be confronted with a comment from a producer I don’t know, at a time where I’m vulnerable as I’m coming back from a 2 year break, was really, really arresting. As if being away from the media for 2 years wasn’t nerve wrecking enough. “Will I be forgotten? Will I still be relevant? But I look different now, will people still hire me?”. These are all real thoughts I had on a daily basis. And I finally felt confident enough to step back into the industry and to make an effort to be at a party where I could meet “like-minded” people. It’s just a rude reminder to never let our guard down.
