squishy and lovely. i love it. >> tamron: how has it been juggling the careers quest mike you going back to broadway and the waitress which is a phenomenal musical. >> yes. [applause] >> tamron: what is that like? how do you juggle motherhood? >> to be honest i don't know. i think it day by day. i don't think we ever find the balanc in things. i think some days it's 70/30, some days it's 50/50, some days it's 40/30, you never know. you take the moments as they come. i really try to live my life like that. in this present moment what can i deal to either have to focus on my script or focus on my son when i came home and i was rehearsing. >> tamron: does he travel with you? >> he comes to pretty much every work thing i've ever done since he's been bored. it is good with me leaving the room he doesn't mind. he's like my mom. it's an interesting when was

rehearsing it was insane. jenna touches a lot of props in the shell. i think about 300 plus during the show. my character in the show and i was like what did i get myself into doing this trying to remember this i can't remember anything after my son was born. and the like okay when i come back from her rehearsal i would try and rehearse and it, i just couldn't do it. i couldn't do that and be present with my son at the same time so i'd put my script away and let it live and play with my son and then go to a rehearsal next day. >> tamron: when i saw a headline like a year after you had him i saw these headlines saying jordin sparks is opening up about postpartum depression and i clicked on the interview and you were explaining the journey so many women go through. some call it baby blues, others are diagnosed with postpartum. what was going on in your life? >> for me i think it was misinterpreted when i was talking about it. i was researching to figure out

what was going on with me. it's about a couple of weeks after the baby is born, uncontrollable crying, and anxiety goes through the roof, just not being able to control the emotions and feeling kind of nervous about everything. postpartum depression is a lot more intense and deeper than that so i don't want that to get misconstrued because i know there is a distinction. >> i cried a lot at the beginning. i was just forever crying. i did not have postpartum but recognizing that both are difficult struggles for women as a part of this conversation. >> are so many things that we as women don't know or aren't the conversations aren't had about our bodies and how amazing we are by the way.

why? >> i did go to a hospital to visit a doctor there and it just didn't feel right. it felt very cold, it felt like i was another number on the list. i was like i don't want that to be how my son is welcomed and how i feel. all women should be listened to your your birth experience should be whatever you wanted to be into somebody trying to tell you that it should be something else than what you are comfortable with, it's time, don't talk to them. you need to be comfortable. >> tamron: how did you prepare for it? i wouldn't deliver early and then i hit the floor on my knees and i was like i'm in labor. did you go to a class question what did you meditate? >> i had a dula. >> tamron: what's a dula? >> a dula is someone who helps walk you through your birth from the time that you can see if or whenever you find them really throughout the whole thing and she would come to my house and

she would run us through meditation techniques and she would tell us all about how the body opens up and we call it the waves instead of contractions because you hear the word contraction and you think negative. we want to think about it positively. my husband has been the most supportive person come he was there most every single time unless he had something to do. he's been so great come he's my best friend. is the best thing that ever happened to me because if he wasn't around we wouldn't have dj. >> tamron: your husband commute been married for two years, how did you meet? >> that's a very long story but i'm going to try and keep it very short for this. essentially i did, i would follow the super bowl around each year and i would try to shine a spotlight on organizations that were making a difference in the city before all the major parties would come in. so 2017 were in houston and that's where his family was and that's their organization is what we were going to talk to them about china laid on them.
