Smart, thoughtful and warm, actress Kristen Bell has discovered the key to happiness is simply embracing who she is. “I’ve come to realize that I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to be better than I was yesterday,” she tells Woman’s World. It’s a message she emphasizes to her daughters, Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9, whom she shares with her husband, Dax Shepard.
And though she’s been acting since she was 13, becoming a mom has been her greatest role. “When I look at my stretch marks or weight gain from having kids, I view it as a superpower,” she smiles. “When my girls call my saggy, small boobs ‘sloppy joes’ I say, ‘These sloppy joes fed you for the first years of your life!’” Here Kristen shares her tips for harnessing your superpowers.
Catch Kristen’s new Netflix series
“The universal love story is what appealed to me most,” Kristen says of her new Netflix comedy series Nobody Wants This, premiering on September 26. Kristen plays Joanne, an outspoken agnostic woman who becomes involved with Noah, an unconventional rabbi played by Adam Brody. “I like the idea of exploring similarities and differences and watching humans work through them,” she says. “I am of the personal belief that there are a lot more similarities between us than differences.”
