Hey everyone, it's me, Rebecca. I'm currently on maternity leave, and while I'm away, we picked out

some of our earlier episodes from the No Limits Vault so that you can get caught up and enjoy

while I'm off. And just so you know, I pre-recorded this, so I actually am spending time with my baby

right now.

Every time they would call me about it, I'd get this like sharp pain in my stomach and in my chest.

And I was like, oh, no, that my soul's saying no.

It's saying no.

Now, it would have been amazing for us financially, for my work, for whatever, for her to see that mommy does this.

But I was like, oh, no, my body's saying no.

So I said no.

And they're like, you're kidding.

And I'm like, I got to hang out with her for the summer.

It's too important to me.

From ABC, it's no limits.

I'm Rebecca Jarvis, and each week we're talking to the most bold and influential women playing at the top of their game,

trying to demystify success and what it really takes to get there and all of the tradeoffs.

Whether you're looking for answers or you just want to hear a good story,

you're in the right place. On today's episode, Christina Applegate has built a decades-long

career in the entertainment industry. She's performed on Broadway, on television, of course, on

film as well, and it all started out before she could even speak. Really, as a little baby, it started. And she's been working ever since. On this episode, we talk about why she decided to take a step back from the spotlight, what she's learned about herself along the way, and her favorite role yet.

Christina Applegate, welcome to No Limits. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm a real fan of you and your work and your story. You started acting so young.
