Explaining her decision to take a step back from her career while chatting to Gwyneth Paltrow on the Shakespeare in Love star's wellness podcast, Cameron said: "I got a peace in my soul, because I finally was taking care of myself.
"It's a strange thing to say, I know a lot of people won't understand it, I know you understand it, but it's so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there."
Cameron, who shares daughter Raddix with husband Benji Madden, added: "There's a lot of energy coming at you at all times when you're really visible as an actor and doing press and putting yourself out there."

Speaking about her return to the big screen during an appearance on The Tonight Show last year, the Shrek star said acting felt "different" following her hiatus. She told Jimmy Fallon: "I did that for so long, it’s kind of like the process, I kind of just fell back into it. But it feels a little bit different.
"The last movie I made was Annie with Jamie, and so the first movie back is this film with Jamie. He’s so great, he’s so easy, he’s so professional, he’s so talented, and just being able to work with him."
