Speaking at Hello Sunshine's second annual Shine Away event in Los Angeles on October 5, the Sweet Home Alabama actress responded to a question about finding her voice, via PEOPLE . Reese noted, “There are so many moments before sharing that what I love about Hello Sunshine is that we look for stories that women saved themselves.

” “Because every woman in this room has saved herself, be it financial situation, an education situation, a bad relationship, you had to save yourself,” remarked the 48-year-old. The Legally Blonde star mentioned, “There's a moment in all of our lives when you realise, no wait, no one's coming to help, no one's coming to make that decision.” “For me, I have to make that decision.

I've had a lot of those,” she continued. Reese added, “Being a single mom when I was in my late twenties, I had to make a lot of decisions for my two kids and a lot of financial decisions, too.” The mother-of-three opened up about a moment of realisation in her life, explaining, “I had four employees and I couldn't keep the lights on.

I remember the accountant calling me going, you didn't make enough money producing those three things to keep four employees.” “And I was like, ‘I'm doing something wrong,” stated The Wild ac.
