The 33-year-old actress, who followed her mother into the acting business, told Glamour magazine that Hawn encouraged her to focus on her sons, 9-year-old, Ryder, and 20-month-old, Bingham, because that’s where she would find happiness, the Daily Express reported.

Hudson added that her mother taught her to step back and actually experience things that are happening – and this made her realise it’s possible to do the things that makes her happy and still raise a wonderful family.
