Speaking withPEOPLE in March 2023, Turner-Smith shared, “I feel that to be fulfilled is being my best self for my child.”
“And I try to involve her in my life, not let work be this thing that exists outside of her, but that she also gets to be a part of. And so that she sees me being a working mother and being fulfilled and wanting to mother at the same time.”
“There’s so much guilt and pressure on women and mothers to just act as though you haven’t just gone through this deeply transformational process, this life-changing, earth-shattering, body and perception-shifting transformation,” she says of childbirth and motherhood. “The pandemic smacked me in the face and forced me to slow down, and I’m so glad it did.”
