The Gig: I love my career but what’s most important to me is my family. I partnered with Flu Mist Quadrivalent to launch Mom Nose Best, a campaign to encourage moms and families about flu prevention and making sure that we all get the flu vaccine annually.
The Journey: For me art imitates life and life imitates art. When I was working on The Game, I was a little bit like Melanie. She had a boyfriend and she was supporting his career. That’s how I was with Corey and still am today. It’s the same thing with Instant Mom. I was new at being a mom when I got that role. It’s the same thing with the cooking show. Everything that I do, I’m authentic to myself. I’m true to who I am and nobody can force me to do something that I don’t want to do.
Her top flu season tips: Make sure you wash your hands and carry hand sanitizer everywhere you go. The flu virus survives on surfaces for six to eight hours. Wash your door knobs, counter tops and faucets and be mindful of interactions with others. Whenever my husband meets people, he never really shakes their hand, he daps them.
Her lesson learned: The only mistake I’ve made is not forgiving yourself. We live in a society that’s so obsessed with perfection. With that comes regrets, comes you being unhappy. If you’re constantly looking at your flaws and kind of not being okay with them, it puts you in a place that’s not healthy. I think I’ve learned to just let things go. At the end of the day, if you’re working hard, if you’re being true to yourself, and if you’re putting your best foot forward, it will work itself out. Trust your instincts.
