The 38-year-old welcomed her first child, a boy, with husband Matthew Webster - a 38-year-old Singaporean of British-Chinese descent who works in corporate branding - on Jan 30.

She officially returned to work in July and is now filming a new English drama.

"Every day is a new adjustment. I'm relearning to find joy in the little things and to see the world through a fresh perspective," Lim tells The Straits Times over e-mail.

"I am thankful for good help at home - my mum, in-laws - and I have a great helper too," she adds.

Lim also gleaned parenting and marriage advice from experienced mums through the second season of the variety show she hosts, With Love, Becks.

Premiering on Channel 8 on Nov 18 at 8pm and also available on mewatch, the six-episode series sees the Mediacorp star enjoying a girl's day out with local personalities such as MacPherson Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling and actresses Fann Wong, Yvonne Lim and Sheila Sim. Each guest also shares tips on balancing motherhood and career.
