Michelle Williams shares words of wisdom for working mothers

Michelle Williams is diving into the balance between her duties as a mother and her busy career.

During a podcast appearance on a recent episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Michelle talked about how raising kids changed her and forces her to put her best foot forward.

"Kids are such great life checkers. They force you to put your best self in front of them," the Dying for Sex star said.

"You can't abdicate your life and your work and your own desires, but you do have to put them in check and figure out which master you're gonna serve," continued the mom-of-four.

"Because the truth is, if work is going well, somebody else is taking care of the kids, and if you're in a high point with your kids, the work is shoved to the side," she added.

For Michelle, it’s important to work after spending long periods at home.

"You can't be equally good at them at the exact same time, and you have to allow for that give and take, but then also replenish the other things. If you have a big period of being at home, you need to go back to what you've left unattended and put some light over there," she reflected.

"So, I think it's just this constant back and forth, but making sure that you don't leave one of them unattended for too long," she continued. "My best day with my children is better than my best day at work. I am more thrilled with that high than I am with a work high."

"I want them to see their mom working, all of my kids, so it's not something that I want to neglect for too long, but the kids really pull at you more convincingly," concluded Michelle Williams.
