My five-year-old was like, blue Jasmine and started screaming her name. I was like, oh no, they didn't take it that hard, but that was their first time. I think I even heard him say she's dead and I've never heard, you know, it's like, you know, it's hard. It's hard. Oh, my heart goes out to your son. Give him my name.
I'm sorry. Thank you so much. He's starting to do better. So thank you very much.

Okay, Nana. What does balance look like to me? Balance looks like, and I'll say this, and it may sound crazy, balance looks like failure, and I'm okay with it. Meaning, I know I cannot balance it all, and I know I cannot be 100% in all things at all times. And I have learned this year and a little bit of last year to be OK with that.

If my son has, you know, a big project for school and that's what we're focused on, that's what my priority is this week. So if I have to, you know, cancel some of my hits for TV because my son needs me, then so be it.

If I have a week that is a big debate that's coming up and I have to study for it and make sure I have all of my talking points, then, you know, that week Grubhub is going to be my best friend and I may not be mommy of the year cooking dinner. So balance means me realizing that some things I'm going to have to put to the side for just a short period of time until I handle upcoming deadlines.

And I'm okay with that. Before I used to do it all. And I have a daughter that just turned one. And I literally like beat myself over the head just to make sure, because I know she's my last one. And I just wanted to make sure I breastfed her and I had to go to one. And so many times I wanted to stop because I would have to pump before a segment. I will pump in between takes.

But I just feel like I always run myself into the ground trying to make everyone else happy that I realized in order for me, Wendy, to be okay, I have to be okay letting go of some responsibilities and not being super mom sometimes.
