Find one's way through

Hi,  the other day, I was reading an interview  with Cameron Diaz. I quote  the conversation between the reporter and Diaz here. Reporter: "This was your first role as a mother, wasn' it?"  Diaz: "Yeah, I didn't really think about it. You guys have known me long enough to know that I really don't think about this stuff too hard. You know, I kind of just find my way through it."  please explain the meaning of "Find one's way through" and teach me how to use it.

To find your way through something means to do something without a plan or strategy and just figure it out as you go along. In the example, Diaz is saying that she doesn't usually come up with a plan for how to play her part, she just takes it one scene at a time, makes it up as she goes and finds her way through.
