Kim Kardashian is a business mogul, trainee lawyer and reality TV star — but her most demanding and rewarding job is being a mom, she says.
The Skims founder and mother of four opened up about the challenges she faces as a parent in a clip from her upcoming appearance on the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
“Everyone says the days are long and the years are short and that couldn’t be truer,” Kardashian said. “Especially when they’re babies and you’re breastfeeding and the madness is on.”
“But it’s chaos at its best,” she added.
Kardashian has four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West.
They wed in a lavish European ceremony in 2014 before Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021. The divorce was finalized in 2022.
“There are nights I cry myself to sleep,” Kardashian admitted in the clip, adding that playing “good cop and bad cop” is another challenge for her while working on “a to be a little tougher” when her kids fight.
She said her early morning workouts, which are often documented on her social media accounts, prepare her for the “craziness” of the day, but there are also evenings when she “goes in hour by hour to see if.” we survive.” ”
There are lessons to be learned from the chaos, according to Kardashian, who also said parenting has taught her more about herself than she could have anticipated.
“You’re never prepared, but you’ll make it,” she said. “It will make you so proud of yourself for figuring it out and making it through the day.”
Still, Kardashian said she wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything. “It’s the most demanding and most rewarding job on this planet,” she said.
