She introduced us to the term “smize” but that’s not all Tyra Banks is known for. After welcoming her first son a year ago with now ex-boyfriend Erik Asla, the 44-year-old America’s Got Talent host has spent the last 12 months embracing motherhood, starting a new gig, and focusing on both her family and career.

The America’s Next Top Model creator recently got candid about motherhood, saying that it’s changed her perspective on work-life balance. Her son taught her to focus on each obstacle, as it comes.

“My secret to balance is to focus on one thing at a time. I used to be the most amazing multi-tasker, doing three things at once,” Tyra revealed to People. “Not anymore, now that I have my son. I think that’s Mother Nature’s way of saying this life you created takes all of your brain power.”

Though Tyra and baby York’s daddy Erik have since split up after five years together, a source says that the former couple is doing everything they can to co-parent amicably. “It came drama-free,” the source explains of the breakup.
