“A common conversation I’ve been having since my eldest started school, one I’m constantly hearing from different moms, is: What’s the appropriate amount of time to be at work and what’s the appropriate amount of time to be at home?” Nicole told People.

She continued, saying: “First of all, I think it’s so incredible that we’re in a time when we can be open about these things; be vulnerable with each other – because I know my mom didn’t have that… Women are no longer ashamed to say, ‘Oh, this is so hard! I’m worried I’m not doing a good job.’ Women are supporting each other in that space, which I think is so awesome.”
