CBS Sunday Morning aired Johansson saying work-life balance "does not exist," adding there is always a "deficit" in some part of her life.
Johansson said accepting that imbalance has helped her be kinder to herself, arguing no one can do everything all the time and that "good enough" matters.
The 40-year-old actress said she is juggling marriage to Colin Jost, raising 2 children, running a skincare brand and continuing her acting career.
Forbes said Johansson earned $43 million in 2025, making her the year's highest-paid actress even as she described success in parenting as getting it right about 75% of the time.
