She continued: “The minute I thought, ‘Oh, I’m three weeks in, I’ve got this,’ I cried every day, all day long... It was like every church and state. It was the messiest plate I’ve ever held in my life to be the teacher, the parent, the disciplinarian, the caretaker.

Elsewhere in the interview, the mom of two stressed the importance of choosing to be happy, calling it "a war you fight every day, and the victory is if you accomplished any of those wins, that is a win.”

It’s about the way you treat people with dignity and take a quick exchange as a moment to connect... I march in the army of optimism and I’m looking for recruits, but I’m very real about it. I am not some vapid hippie who’s like, ‘You just gotta be happy, man.’ This is the way and the direction I will point my compass."
