That could also mean that Adler will grow up to be multi-faceted. In addition to acting and directing, Fishel recently added \"beauty entrepreneur\" to her resume, as she just launched her own vegan and cruelty-free hair care line, Be Free by Danielle Fishel.

The new job took her away from home to New York City for a few days, and to Fishel, leaving her baby was another exercise in managing \"mom guilt.\"

\"Every day I have to re-keep myself in check,\" she said.

It helps that she has a supportive partner. Although Fishel said that her marriage has shifted a bit since welcoming a baby -- spontaneity has gone completely out the window, she noted -- she also said that it's deepened her bond with Karp.

\"I have no doubt in my mind that there's nothing we can't overcome together,\" she said. \"There will be more dark days, but I know now that nothing is too big to test us. We can definitely get through anything.\"
