When actress Jordana Brewster rocketed to fame in The Fast and the Furious franchise in her 20s, she says she second-guessed every move she made. Over the years, as she continued to land major roles in movies and on TV, she became a mom to two sons, and these days, she finally knows what she values – as a person and a parent. 


On the show, Jordana opens up about her Mom wins and woes: unexpected insecurities that bubbled up from having kids through surrogacy, pushing back on today’s insane expectations for kids to pick a lane early on and the freedom that comes from ditching perfection.


Jordana is currently starring in the psychological thriller Cellar Door as a woman who struggles with infertility. 


In This Episode:

  • Navigating modern pressures for kids to find their passion early on. 
  • Negotiating insecurities that can emerge after becoming a parent through surrogacy. 
  • Processing failure.
