The 52-year-old shared the video to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon, offering her words of wisdom to her younger self.
“My darling girl, life will change. It is not going to stay the same. Even though it feels like you’re stuck,” said Rowe.
“Your terrible skin – it will clear up. I promise you that. It doesn’t matter that you don’t understand physics. You’re never going to understand it and it is very boring. No one is going to ask you about the marks that you got at school. It doesn’t matter,” she continued.

Touching on her over 20 year career in television, Rowe told her teenage self, “You are going to travel. You’re going to spread your wings and have the most extraordinary adventures. You won’t be a foreign correspondent, but there will be some pretty exciting things that will happen for you.”
“You’re going to kiss a lot of frogs. They’ll break your heart, but you’re going to find the right person for you.”
For Rowe, the right person came in the form of Nine News presenter Peter Overton. The couple married in 2004, with Rowe regularly entertaining fans with inside looks at her family fun, as well as her escapades as a “crap housewife.”

Rowe has been consistently candid with her experiences of motherhood, sharing her struggles with postnatal depression.
The author previously spoke to Now To Love about her experience as a mum of two teenage girls.
“Being a parent, I’m learning, it’s a series of letting go’s. Each stage from when they’re born. Crawling, taking their first steps, going to daycare, going to school, having sleepovers, going to high school. All these things … it’s all this series of letting go’s.”
