Reese talks about the three types of individuals you will encounter in life and the advice she gives her children about these people.

She said: “You're going to be three different kinds of people in life. There's going to be a third of the people who are going to lift you up. They're going to believe in your dreams, they're going to encourage you, you're going to encourage that.”

Reese added: “A third of the people are going to be totally neutral. They're just neutral. And you don't care about them. They don't care about you, no harm, no foul. And then the other third are going to try and drag you down.”

At this moment, both Abby and Glennon agreed with The Big Little Lies star.
