In a clip shared exclusively with PEOPLE ahead of the season 6 premiere, Kardashian discusses her older daughter’s career
Kim Kardashian is excited that her older daughter is starting her career — even though it makes things a bit more complicated.
In a clip shared with PEOPLE ahead of the season 6 premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu, the SKIMS co-founder, 44, discussed how she’s been balancing her 11-year-old daughter North’s burgeoning career with her own in a scene with mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian.
“I thought I was busy before. North, me having to be her momager right now is crazy. It’s just, it was not on my list. It was not on my Bingo card for this year,” Kim says as she sits in the room with her mom and sister.
“It’s a lot of work,” Kris responds. “It’s a lot of energy.”
“And I’m not ready,” Kim says, as Khloé adds, “You’re like, I have my own s— to manage.”
“If she has a shoot, I have to be there all day, so it’s like her or me,” Kim says.
In a confessional, Kim notes that it’s been difficult for her to decide when to prioritize career opportunities for her daughter over life experiences.
“I’m really conflicted on my daughter’s career, so we’re going to talk about that soon,” the mom of four shares. “I just really want to make sure that everything’s really well balanced. All of the work experiences are balanced out with just enough fun life experiences. I just want balance.”
North has had a busy year. The daughter of Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West starred as Young Simba in a production of The Lion King this past May, was featured on West’s song “Talking / Once Again” last February and most recently was featured on FKA twigs’ song “Childlike Things.”

Earlier in January, Kim appeared on an episode of Erin and Sara Foster’s podcast World’s First Podcast and opened up about taking on more of a “momager” role for her kids as they get older.
Speaking about her daughter North, Kim said, “She’ll get an offer to do a photo shoot or something. And like, we really sit and talk about it as a family.”
“Like, ‘Should she do this? What’s too much? What’s not?'” she continued.
Noting that she feels she “has to” take her kids to school alongside her busy work schedule, Kim said she’s fallen into the “morning madness.”
“That’s just in my contracts, like no matter what I do, no matter work, like I have to take my kids to school,” she said. “That’s just my time with them. It’s the morning madness.”
“I love it. It’s amazing. And then when they work and I have to be there, I have to see every last thing. I’m just like, it has to be worth it for us to make a decision,” she continued.
“You know, if North has something and I have to take off filming to do something with her, it just has to be a family decision. And really important to her,” the proud mom added. “There’s so much that I’ve stopped because it’s too much, and I’m really not ready to be a momager, and I’m kind of forced into this.”
