The Oscar-nominated star of Little Women and Marriage Story has a simple self-love rule: no more self-deprecation.

“The greatest consideration to me might be how we speak to ourselves about ourselves every day,” Laura Dern has said. “I try to be organically minded, farm to table, consider the food I eat, consider the food my children eat, not have chemicals in the home, not have wall-to-wall carpeting, not use lead-based products.

“Yet, we all very casually will put ourselves down 20, 30 times a day,” she continued. “So, if we’re considering our health and the health of our children, the one thing I need to work on more is how I honour the person I’m privileged to be, the voice I’m privileged to have, the health I’m privileged to hold, the children I’m privileged to parent.

“It’s really easy to be self-deprecating all day long, but it’s getting a little boring!”
