Upton also revealed her desire to disconnect a little more; not completely, but dial it back. "I want to be enjoying my life, enjoying my family, not constantly trying to take the perfect picture,” she said. But if Verlander had his way, he'd be tossing her phone away. "We talk about it in the house all the time: 'Let's have a phone-free dinner.' We don't want [our daughter] thinking being on the phone is all that life is."Kind of ironic for someone who became famous after her attempt at "the Dougie" made her a viral sensation, followed by the "Cat Daddy" video, which has over 27 million views. Of course, that was when she was 18, 19. Kate's now a 27-year-old wife and mom and with those experiences comes growth and change and self-awareness, though it can be argued Upton has always boasted the latter.[video_embed id='5530409896001']RELATED: Kate Upton Doesn't Find Jay-Z or Kanye West Attractive[/video_embed]"Women are bombarded with this push to be perfect all the time," said Upton. "We went from Photoshopping covers on magazines to Photoshopping our everyday lives — you know, a picture of you at the grocery store. It's getting more extreme, literally people changing their face with plastic surgery. The industry has to be the trendsetter, to show there's more than just having the perfect brand or messaging. We don't need that in our lives. We need connections."Upton now knows exactly what to do if you want to shock people: "It's by just being yourself." And who better than Kate to look to for inspiration?Unplugging from the world a little at a time, telling it like it is, and knowing what's best for herself and her family, even if it might mean being judged or looked down on, those are the things that matter to Kate. She's authentic and honouring herself and others by speaking her truth, which is all we can ask for in a superhero.View this post on InstagramWill cherish these moments forever ? can’t imagine a greater superpower! #internationalwomensday
