In particular with my mom, how she raised us.
So for me, I really try to be a present parent.
And sometimes that's hard, especially with the lives that we live, it's very hard to be present.
I try to be extremely present.
How do you manage that?
Everything is around my kids.
If I have to do something, I'm gone more than 24 hours ever.
I didn't leave Olympia until she was six for 24 hours.
So that was...
That may have been a little extreme, but that's who I am.
And so for me, I show up as much as I can every single day for the girls.
Because I feel like they mean the most to me and I feel like they need me and they need to make sure.
I want to raise my children.
I'm a person that's raising my kids and that's teaching them how I want them to live and how I want them to be.
That's beautiful.
As you know, I've always wanted to be a mom.
I've only wanted girls.
I could have 10 girls.
I would be happy.
I grew up with four sisters.
