The new mom said motherhood was a “second chance at life with a kid of my own.”

“The way my mother parented me is definitely not the way I’m going to be,” said Blanchard. “We always say for the next generation, we want to be better than we were raised.”

“‘And so, for me, I think that couldn’t be any more truthful. I have learned from the experience of the trauma of everything not to do,” she continued.
