Nicole Kidman<\/a> has shared the tough-love advice she gave the two teenaged daughters that she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old movie star made the comments when at the University Of San Francisco on Saturday during the college’s\u00a0Silk Speaker Series.<\/p>\n

‘I told them that the decisions you\u2019re making now will affect your life, but also things will change as nothing is set in stone,’ said the Oscar winner at the event attended by The Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

‘And primarily trying to create emotional stability is important for them so that they can feel like the world is your oyster,’ noted the actress who finalized her divorce from Urban in January.<\/p>\n

She finished with, ‘I told them you\u2019re going to have an incredible future, but it can be incredibly overwhelming.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sunday Rose is already working as a fashion model. Her first runway show was Dior\u2019s Paris Fashion Week<\/a>\u00a0presentation in November 2025.<\/p>\n

The movie icon also has daughter Isabella, 33, and son Connor, 31, with ex-husband Tom Cruise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Australia native also reflected on the advice that her father Antony Kidman, who died in 2014, gave her when she was younger.<\/p>\n

‘He said you need to have grit, you\u2019re not going to be the smartest person in the room so you have to use your wits,’ said the star who was dressed in a pale pink pantsuit.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the conversation, Kidman said that she has grown from the difficult times she has experienced in her life.<\/p>\n

‘Sometimes you\u2019re going to have to take it on the chin and that\u2019s OK. It\u2019s your life and you define it. Who cares what someone else thinks? Don\u2019t give your power to anybody else. They don\u2019t get to define you.’<\/p>\n

Kidman shocked the audience when she revealed she wants to study to become a death doula after the passing of her mother Janelle in September 2024.<\/p>\n

The actress admitted that it ‘sounds a little weird’ but she has an intense desire to help others during their last few weeks of their lives on earth.<\/p>\n

‘I am looking to expand myself. I am looking to become a death doula,’ said the actress at the event.<\/p>\n

A death doula is a non-medical professional who provides holistic, emotional, spiritual, and practical support to terminally ill individuals and their families<\/a>, according to the International End Of Life Doula Association.<\/p>\n

‘My father was very involved with palliative care. There are birth doulas and recently I learned about death doulas. As my mother was passing, she was lonely, and there was only so much the family could provide.’<\/p>\n

The Moulin Rouge actress explained that she and her sister have so many children between them and are busy with their careers that they could not spend enough time with their mother so they hired a death doula.<\/p>\n

‘That’s when I went, “I wish there were these people in the world that were there to sit impartially and just provide solace and care,”‘ said the star.<\/p>\n

‘I feel it\u2019s really important to have care on earth for the beginning and the end.’<\/p>\n
