Speaking at the University of San Francisco during the Silk Speaker Series, the 58-year-old Oscar winner reflected on the life lessons she is passing on to her daughters, emphasizing the importance of resilience, perspective, and emotional grounding. She encouraged them to understand that the choices they make now will shape their future, while also reminding them that life remains fluid and ever-changing.
Kidman, who finalized her divorce from Urban in January, told the audience that she focuses on helping her daughters build emotional stability so they can face the world with confidence and possibility, even when things feel overwhelming. She stressed that despite challenges, they have a bright future ahead and should not feel limited by uncertainty.
The actress shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, with Urban. Sunday has already begun building a career in fashion, making her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week in 2025.
Kidman also reflected on wisdom passed down from her late father, Antony Kidman, recalling his advice about resilience, intelligence, and self-belief. She shared that his guidance helped shape her approach to navigating both success and hardship throughout her life.
Beyond parenting, Kidman spoke openly about personal growth, urging others not to let outside opinions define their identity or limit their confidence. She emphasized the importance of owning one’s life choices and maintaining personal power in the face of criticism.
In a surprising revelation, Kidman also expressed interest in training as a death doula following the passing of her mother in 2024. She explained that the experience inspired her to explore ways of providing emotional and spiritual support to people at the end of life, highlighting her belief in compassionate care at both the beginning and end of life’s journey.
