Every day is different. Every hour is different. They\u2019re my North Star, my compass.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love that in the life that I got to live before I knew them, my priorities were different. And ever since I came into the world, I understand what the purpose of my life is. It\u2019s wild.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The talk show host added that she became &#8220;humbled &#8221; when she realised she was having a second daughter because she knew she was always meant to raise daughters. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I found out I was having a daughter with Olive, and I thought, \u2018Oh right, ok karmically that makes sense.\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of, \u2018Ok, I\u2019m having a girl,&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When I found out I was having Frankie, my second daughter, it humbled me in a way that I\u2019ve never known and I\u2019ll never forget the moment because I realized I was put on this planet to raise girls. And that everything in my life was captured and a butterfly net to try and get this right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Never Been Kissed&#8217; star noted that she initially lacked confidence in her ability as a mother, but that has grown over the years. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;If you don\u2019t grow up in a perfect way with a perfect family, you fear the blueprint and you go, I want to do things differently. I felt unconfident, like this was the stakes of my life and it took a few years, honestly, to have that confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/drew-barrymore-reveals-becoming-mother-changed-life-1412944.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 January 2025 Drew Barrymore only found &#8220;purpose&#8221; in life once she became a mother.
