'My Mom Taught us WE CAN have it ALL: Kim Kardashian

Hot on the heels of PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi's candid and controversial admission that she doesn't think women can have it all, Kim Kardashian has weighed in on the debate.

During an interview alongside sisters Kourtney and Khloé with CNBC's Closing Bell on Monday, the mom-of-one was asked her thoughts on whether she believes women can raise a family and have a successful career at the same time. 
'I mean, I think that's just not really, like, a positive outlook,' she said of Nooyi's declaration that women simply 'pretend' they can have it all. 'My mom kind of taught us girls we could have it all.' 
'You know, [my mom] works hard. She taught us that if you work hard, it's just all about prioritising,' she continued.

'I think that, yeah, it could get tough after you have a baby. There are so many times when I just didn't want to get up and work on something and I just wanted to be home with my baby, but, for me - and I think I can speak for my sisters - it makes us feel good when we are out working.'
She added: 'If anyone really feels like they can't do it all, I feel like it's a little bit discouraging to say that. Even if I couldn't and it wasn't possible, I would try. And I would, you know, try my best to do it all.'
