I sat down with Nichole after her recent appearance on Hallmark’s Home and Family to talk about the inspiration behind her new book. She says she wrote it for her son Charlie’s 5th grade graduation and was encouraged by her manager to record it. The response was overwhelming. It quickly went viral as parents all over the world connected with the message. Now she’s taken that message and fleshed it out into essays for her book. In the book she talks about how there’s no time machine, or button to push that would make time slow down so our kids will stay small. Instead we should take it upon ourselves to slow down and enjoy as much of the present with our kids as possible.

This week I talked to Anna Borden, first AD on the show Castle Rock and countless other shows. Once I completely got over my brain fart of forgetting JJ Abrams' name, we actually had a wonderful conversation. Seriously, I worry about my brain sometimes. Anna is filming on location in Massachusetts and amazingly found some time to break away from set to chat with me. I enjoyed talking to Anna so much because she has a different perspective on managing breastfeeding on set, on-location filming with her child, and how her career was challenged when she became a mom. She describes what it was like looking for, not just female mentors in her position, but mothers in her position who could lead by example. She admits there aren't many women AD's and she hopes to be a mentor someday to other women in her position. Don't forget to subscribe to Motherhood in Hollywood on iTunes.
