“I love that being a boy mom has really informed my fashion. I have to always be able to go from a serious business meeting to, like, a basketball court. You have to be able to play pickup basketball at any point, in any outfit,” she said.

She added a humorous take on parenting unpredictability: “So [I tell myself]: When you get dressed in the morning, dress wisely because you 100 percent are going to have a projectile thrown at you probably by the end of breakfast,” she added.

Elsewhere, she reflected on her pregnancies, saying, “I just feel very lucky. I know that not everybody who wants to be a parent gets to be. I’m just blown away by how fortunate I am. It went really well for me twice, and that’s really lucky,” describing motherhood as “this beautiful ongoing poem that I get to live inside of.”
