For Tyler, motherhood has played a key role in helping her to better understand herself and what she’s capable of.

“My favorite thing about being a parent is that I learn so much from the push-and-pull dynamic of mother and child,” she toldMoremagazine in 2015.“Having children, I learned about my own strength.”

“I feel like I’m conducting a giant orchestra, because there’s so many moving parts. It’s like, ‘Over there, you guys do that!’ And then, ‘Over there, you do this! All together now!’” Tyler explained. “It’s kind of what it feels like to be a mom, isn’t it? In the modern world?”
