• Tory Burch says she would "never trade off" being a good mom for her career.
• If anything, her social life suffered — and she gave up sleep, she said.
• "But I will say, being a mom is the joy of my life," the fashion designer said.

Tory Burch, 59, says her career success didn't come at the expense of being a mom — but it did cost her a social life.
