Last month, whileattending DSW’s “Best Foot Forward” panel luncheon eventin honor of Women’s History Month on Wednesday, the mom of two was asked to speak about balancing the different areas of her life.
“I would’ve dramatically suffered, had I not brought my mom and my sister with me,” she said of her recent promotional tour for her latest book, on which mom Maria Shriver and sister Christina Schwarzenegger joined her to help care for daughters

“I’m a big believer — I feel like on Instagram we see all these moms that are like, ‘I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all on my own,’ blah-blah and I’m like, ‘I don’t want to do it all on my own,’ " Schwarzenegger Pratt leveled.
She continued, “I want to lean on my sister, I want to lean on my mom, I want to lean on my girlfriends, my mom friends. I want to be honest and transparent and also say, ‘I can’t make this today. My kid’s sick. She was up all night teething. I need to be a mom right now.'”
“So I think being able to be open about the fact that you don’t have to do it all, you can lean on people, you can enlist help from others and being okay with that. That, I feel, is such a big struggle for women in general, but I think especially if you’re balancing multiple roles, is saying, ‘I need help today,’ and that’s okay,” she concluded.

Speaking with PEOPLE when she announced her new children’s book in November, Schwarzenegger Pratt talked about how she’s beenthrilled to watch the bond between her own daughters growsince welcoming Eloise in May.
“It’s really interesting because, of course, I’m a year and a half older than Christina, so I don’t remember everything about when she came home from the hospital and our dynamic right away,” she explained. “Butmy momanddadsay that it’s very similar to the dynamic between Lyla and Eloise.”
The mom of two said that Lyla fell into being a big sister almost immediately.
