'I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but i needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents ❤️' She ended her post by stating that 'I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now. therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now ✨ anyway sending love and please be kind.'
