Miranda Kerr Says Her Mom Taught Her to 'Give It Your All' No Matter What You're Doing
Miranda Kerr has gotten some good advice from her mom when it comes to parenting.
“It’s beautiful to help them be who they’re meant to be. Give them the nurturing to be who they want to be and [are] meant to be, and not project onto them who you might want them to be," the model, 40, who shares son Myles, 4, and Hart, 5, with husband Evan Spiegel as well as son Flynn, 13, with ex-husband Orlando Bloom, said while appearing on Bumpsuit's "The Village" podcast. "It’s really who they are that you’re nurturing, and really encourage their own spiritual journey and uniqueness within that."
“From the moment that they’re born, they have their own little soul. And sometimes we think, is it conditioning, or is it who they are? It’s obviously a combination of both, but they do have their own [personality]," she continued.
Along the way, the brunette beauty, who is pregnant, shared some advice her mom has taught her that she keeps close to her heart.
"Shine your light in this world and don’t be afraid to walk in the way that you want to walk. Always be true to yourself, follow your intuition," she noted. "Another thing my mom taught me is whatever you’re doing, give it 100 percent. For me, that is whether I’m changing a diaper or washing the dishes, or doing my PNL or developing a product. Always give your all."
Since Kerr is with child, she makes sure to go easy on herself.
"I’ve also been investing extra time in myself this pregnancy, particularly in this last trimester. Taking a little extra time for myself each morning before the boys wake to sit quietly and meditate — usually with my Noni Glow Sleeping Mask on to make up for the lack of beauty sleep — take a bath or do whatever it is that my body is telling me it needs," Kerr shared.
"Taking time for yourself, listening to your body, and prioritizing self-care is important to feel your best so you can give the best of yourself to others," she continued.
