Moms can learn a thing or two from actress and mompreneur Jessica Alba about juggling work and family.

While the 34-year-old mom-of-two runs her own billion-dollar business, The Honest Company, she’s raising two lovely daughters Honor, 7, and Haven, 4, with husband Cash Warren.

But balancing it all isn’t always a breeze.

In a recent interview with Parents Latina magazine, she confessed to sometimes feeling “mom guilt” whenever her thriving business takes up most of her time and energy.

This is something many moms can relate to. Her advice? “Don’t be hard on yourself. Doing your best to be present wherever you are is what’s important.”

Whenever she feels this stressed out, she knows it’s time to pamper herself.

“Make time to eat healthy and stay active,” Jessica shared. “It’s worth it to recharge once a week: Get sleep, have a date night or girls’ night in, and drink some wine!”

As for moms who dream of making the foray into business? She says, “Don’t get overwhelmed trying to do everything at once. Lay out what you can get done now and what will take longer.”

Her Latino heritage was a big part of how she values family as well as being a strong, independent woman.

Although she thinks that may not easily identify with being Latino. Unlike her, who grew up with her Mexican-American grandparents, they don’t really know how to speak Spanish.
