Brenda Song received valuable advice from Kate Hudson regarding motherhood, as the award-winning actress shared insights urging Song not to “get lost in being a mom.” Song, who is a mother to sons Dakota, three, and Carson, two, with her fiancé Macaulay Culkin, reflected on the important lessons she learned from her Running Point co-star, Hudson.
In an interview with E! News, Song emphasized Hudson’s advice, saying, “Kate always says, ‘Don’t get lost in being a mom. You still have to be you.’ She always pushes that with me, and I’m so grateful because it’s something that we forget. We’re working so hard to focus on our kids, and you feel so much mom guilt when you take a second for yourself.” This heartfelt acknowledgment underscores the pressures many new mothers face while trying to maintain their individual identities.
Song elaborated, “To be the best mom, we have to be the best version of us. And Kate was really good about being like, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it. Let it go. It’ll be OK. Remember, you need to focus on you.’” These words of wisdom have proven essential for Song as she navigates the challenges of motherhood.
Recently, Hudson reflected on her own journey through motherhood and how it altered her perspective on life and her career. “I had two pregnancies in the same calendar year. It was a lot,” she shared with Bustle, revealing how motherhood prompted her to question her role in the industry and societal definitions of beauty and youth.
The significance of this advice cannot be overstated. As mothers like Brenda Song seek to balance family life with their personal identities, insights from experienced peers like Kate Hudson remain invaluable in fostering a healthier, more fulfilling approach to motherhood.
