I\u2019m like, \u2018You got two houses, girl.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJodie admits it&#8217;s tough to strike the right balance as a parent and a divorcee.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;You got to walk this line between, obviously, being age appropriate and child-centered in the way that you talk about it. But also keeping it real, so that she has an understanding of what this means.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress has leaned on some expert advice to help to navigate the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: &#8220;I read her so many books about divorce, about what that means. About what that new world is, about what is supposed to be happening, what\u2019s not supposed to be happening. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Children\u2019s books have been helpful as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Jodie previously explained that she&#8217;s loving the challenges of motherhood.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress insisted that motherhood is her &#8220;favourite&#8221; thing in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring an appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna, Jodie explained: &#8220;Honestly, it\u2019s my favourite thing about myself is that I\u2019m that girl\u2019s mother. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m just so grateful that she chose me to be her mom; that I got to have that gift in life. It is my favourite thing. I mean, I just, it is an honour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJodie ultimately feels that it&#8217;s her &#8220;birthright to mother&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I feel like it was our birthright to mother &#8211; whether we bring our children or not, I think it&#8217;s is a woman\u2019s birthright. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We hold space for those around us. It has shifted everything about me. It has only enriched me. It has shown me, number one, how powerful I am. Like, whoa! It\u2019s like, supreme being &#8211; wow!&#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\/jodie-turner-smith-discusses-divorce-struggle-1446710.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 June 2026 Jodie Turner-Smith has been careful while discussing her divorce with her daughter.
