Hoda Kotb Encourages Fans To Take A Big “Jump”

In a recent Today appearance, Hoda Kotb proudly shared her latest project. Her new book, Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life, comes out this fall. She hopes her work will inspire readers to take a plunge and try hard things. 

“Everybody in their life, at one point, stands on the edge of something and says, ‘Should I jump?'” Hoda shared. “Jump and find joy. That’s what it’s about. Jump and find joy. Let’s go.”

The mother of two revealed that she drew inspiration from the book when she “started thinking about different people who [Hoda has] loved and respected and admired who’d been afraid to do something and have done it.”

“You get one life, that’s all,” the former Today anchor continued. “That’s it. It’s ready for the taking, but it takes a jump.”

Leaving the widely beloved talk show wasn’t easy, but Hoda admits it was worth it to spend more time with her daughters. Haley is now 8, and Hope is 5.

“I get to watch my kids grow up in front of me. Like, I get to bear witness,” she added, noting Haley’s preference for over hard eggs instead of scambled. “It’s the smallest things and the biggest things, but you’re witnessing them in all parts of their day, and I’m treasuring that.”
