Summary

Sutton Foster is a Tony Award-winning actress, singer, and dancer and yet she says the hardest thing she's ever done is getting her 2 and a half year-old daughter ready for school on time. Sounds like a perfect Mom Brain guest! Sutton has performed in 11 shows on Broadway, has won 2 Tony’s and is the star of the TV Land show, Younger. She has 3 albums out, most recently 2018’s “Take Me To The World”. More importantly, she is the mother of her 2 year-old daughter, Emily Dale Griffin.

Sutton opens up to Hilaria and Daphne about deciding to be a mom later in life and the challenges she had conceiving. Plus, her difficult experience with IVF, which ultimately led to the decision to adopt. It's an emotional rollercoaster of a conversation that ends with a fun game of "How Well Do You Know Your Kid?"
