When Ama was 10 months old, Parvati returned to Survivor for Winners at War and later opened up about how she navigated the game as a parent. "I have changed a lot from 10 years ago, and being a mom has been the biggest transformation of my life," she said to Entertainment Tonight. "Even before the game started, when we were in pregame and doing press, if someone asked me about my baby, I would break out into tears."
"It was the call to adventure. I wanted to be out there on my own, because I had just had a baby. "I had been in this mom mode, where my identity was all caught up in being a mom, and transitioning from not being a mom to being a mom, and giving all I had to that new role," she said in the same interview, adding that six weeks away presented an opportunity for Ama to bond with her father "in a really unique way."
What Parvati Shallow has said about being a mom
Parvati is honest about the ups and downs of parenting, sharing on Instagram, "Being a mom is the privilege of my life. I LOVE being a mom. It’s also the hardest I’ve ever worked in every way. It’s emotionally, physically, & mentally exhausting."
She also opened up about finding a "chosen family" among friends, writing online, "When I got divorced, I knew I would have to create a very different kind of family than I had imagined. I didn’t know what that would look like, but I just started to build it one brilliant, beautiful, kind, funny person at a time. Now, I know I am the luckiest person in the world to have these incredibly loving, supportive people in my big happy growing family ❤️."

Parvati and Ama love the outdoors
On Instagram, Parvati often shares her adventures roller-blading, skiing, and hitting the beach with her girl. "Three days in Colorado and we’ve officially merged with nature," she once joked.
