Kris Jenner Opens Up About Motherhood, Hysterectomy Decision, & Building a Family Empire

In this special Mother’s Day episode of SHE MD, Kris Jenner sits down for a raw, emotional, and deeply insightful conversation about motherhood, resilience, and building a life you’re proud of. From raising six children to navigating divorce and launching a global empire at 52, Kris shares the real story behind the woman the world thinks it knows.

The conversation dives into everything from her highly publicized hysterectomy and approach to proactive health, to how she built an unbreakable bond with her children. She opens up about the hardest moments of her life, how she pushed through them, and why surrounding yourself with strong women is one of the most important decisions you can make.

This episode is ultimately about perspective: motherhood as a lifelong journey, success as something you build step by step, and the reminder that it’s never too late to start over. Whether you're a new mom, navigating a tough season, or redefining your purpose, Kris shares the mindset shifts that helped her turn challenges into opportunities and create a life filled with meaning, connection, and joy.
