Kate Lawler prioritizes mental health and mindful exercise

Kate Lawler, the first female winner of Big Brother, reflects on her life and experiences in a recent interview. The 44-year-old shares her thoughts on parenting, mental health, and staying active. Lawler describes herself as energetic and open about her life. She talks about her recent micro-needling treatment and laughs about how it has her looking a bit like Donald Trump. She is frank about her experiences with postnatal depression, which she detailed in her bestselling book, "Maybe Baby: On The Mother Side." Now, as a mother to her four-year-old daughter, Noa, she finds joy and challenge in parenthood. Lawler emphasizes that it's normal to love your child while still feeling overwhelmed. She appreciates how much Noa's curiosity about the world brings her happiness. To support her mental health, Lawler practices mindful exercise like hot yoga and Pilates, instead of traditional meditation. She has reduced her alcohol intake and focuses on being present. Despite her busy life, she prioritizes her family’s well-being. Lawler and her husband, Boj, face challenges in balancing work and family commitments. They both tend to be workaholics but are trying to improve their work/life balance. They have even started a podcast together, which keeps them busy. In her playful approach to life, Lawler embraces silliness. She believes this quality strengthens her bond with Noa. “I don’t know why I can’t grow up,” she jokes, highlighting the fun they have together.
