The 37-year-old insisted that she loves being a parent to 3-year-old Liam and 2-year-old Stella but said that having children has not lessened her desire for success with outside projects.
"I'm still working on trying to balance it all, and it's a struggle I deal with every single day. I want to do it all!" she told US Weekly.
"I'm passionate about everything in my life. Obviously my family and my kids are my priority. I want to be that stay-at-home mum, but I want to build an empire at the same time."
She also admitted that parenting has at time caused strains on her relationship with husband Dean McDermott.
"Four years into a marriage, we never thought we'd be having these issues and having problems. But you never think ahead what it's like to have kids, and a lot of our issues came from different view points on parenting," she explained.
"We had communication breakdown, but we've worked through that. We're still working on stuff, but I think relationships are a work in progress. It all takes work, but if you love that person, you're willing to do the work."
