Gwyneth Paltrow admits she has insecurities about her physical appearance in an episode of her new Netflix series Sex, Love & Goop, but she’s working on that.

The Oscar winner and entrepreneur behind the Goop beauty and wellness brand opens up in the six-episode series aimed at improving the relationships and sex lives of six courageous couples.

When some women on the show cited body image as an obstacle to sex, Paltrow shared her experience. She explained that, after growing up in the public eye since she was 22, she was always trying to fit some ideal.

“I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman that feels completely great about her body, and that’s a real shame,” Paltrow said in a recent interview. “That means that we’re holding ourselves to some other standard that’s been prescribed to us and it’s very external as opposed to internal.

“At this point in my life, I’m definitely not a perfect person, but I’m always on a journey toward self-improvement. I really like myself. I know my faults. I don’t think I have blind spots any more, and I’m trying to sort of cultivate that same feeling about my body.”
