Kate Mansi explained that in order to portray her character as a mother she had to change her whole perspective. She noted that in the scenes of delivering her baby boy, she changed how she viewed motherhood. “It changed my whole perspective on life—really,” the talented actress explained.

Kate went on to state that thinking back at her scenes becoming a mother, she reflected on her own relationship with her mother, grandmother, and friends [who have children].

“Once you are a mother, you are that forever. Nothing ever changes the fact that you are a mother. From the moment your child is born, you two are tied to each other for the rest of your lives. Nothing in life is more powerful than that,” Kate reflected.

Kate explained what she found most interesting about motherhood is how it affects women in a different way. Some women became super moms and can do it all—all on their own. Other’s need help from friends, family, or hired help. There is no right or wrong way, as everyone deals with the stress of motherhood in a different manner.

Kate noted that it was such a humbling experience to learn what makes mothers, especially new mother’s think differently.  The experience has brought her closer to her mother and grandmothers and instilled an excitement in her about becoming a mother—in a few years.
