Summary

NBC’s Savannah Guthrie is in Tokyo, Japan covering the 2020 Olympics during a global pandemic, and in this episode she is sharing with Paula her biggest excitement about the games and what will be the hardest adjustment. The “Today” show co-anchor also talks about her journey to success, the ups and downs of following her calling, and balancing the weight of her “mom guilt” with the demands of her high-powered career. She opens up about the first time she walked away from TV journalism to become a lawyer, and why she eventually decided to throw it all away to go back to TV. Savannah also talks about the moment she gave herself the permission to follow her dreams and think big, eliminating the pressure, and finding the courage to make the next right decision. The mother of two shares her perspective on being an older mom, the benefits that come with it, and why she’s excited about turning 50.
