"I felt completely connected to Cy after he was born," Lawrence said, describing her bond with her first son. She acknowledged the challenges of balancing motherhood and career, explaining, "I understood the world wasn't designed around that relationship."
She elaborated on the conflict of returning to work after childbirth:
"Suddenly, you're like, Wait, how am I supposed to go back to work? Get on an airplane and fly away from my baby? Like, what are you talking about? Everything looks different after that."
