She admitted, “The process of seeing him grow from being a little baby that didn’t speak to having words, opinions and a personality is incredible.”

The Good Fortune star shared, “He’s teaching me — most importantly, I think — just how to relax and how to live, you know what I mean? Like when you see your kid, it really is a mirror to you with your own life, but you’re able to give them … what you need to give to yourself. So, it’s been a real blessing.

Reflecting on balancing motherhood with work, she joked, “There actually are three of me.”

“It’s a lot. I feel like after [having] my son, I’ve become even more intentional with what I choose to do, how I choose to spare my time, you know? I love everything that I do, but I think [I’m] always conscious to have a good team, to make sure that I can handle it all, and be able to organize it, ’cause it is a lot, but I do love it,” Palmer explained.
