A s I write this foreword, I m on a plane. I just packed up my New York City apartment and am thrilled to be spending time with my kids before I move and start filming a new show called The Perfectionists. The title of my new show and this book, Unfiltered , have one thing in common-they remind us of the overwhelming pressure so many people face to showcase a picture-perfect life.
I know that burden all too well. As a kid, my family moved around a lot. I was often an outsider at school, observing different cliques, trying to figure out where I belonged. I spent my 20s, figuring out who I was and how I was different from my parents. I also started the journey of accepting myself, and my body. It s a journey I m still on to this day.
My 30s were really about work, love, and becoming a mother, the greatest gift of all.
My 40s have shown me to be thankful for my health and well-being, and to be grateful for everything I have. As I approach 50, I can tell you, I ve loved; I ve lost; I ve learned; and, I ve grown. I ve been blessed with a career many actors dream of, but I have to tell you, some days were hard.
If you follow me on my social media, you know I don t shy away from posting on those hard days and try to use my platforms to lift up other people. I do it because you may be a having a #FML day while everyone else seems to be having a #YOLO day and I want you to know you re not alone. Life is a beautiful, imperfect mess-and that s OK. My only wish is that more people would embrace their real lives.
That real life-the one beyond the filters we use on our pictures before we post them-that s the good stuff. Your life is your own authentic experience, and you should be proud of your
