Summary

If you’ve been feeling the itch for something more in life: a new chapter, a new dream, a new version of yourself – this episode is your green light. It is a guide to how you can transform your life at any moment. Today, Mel sits down with her friend Hoda Kotb. Hoda, more than anyone else, will prove to you that reinvention is something you CAN do. In her twenties and thirties, she climbed the ranks in newsrooms across the country and refused to quit until she landed one of the most coveted jobs in the world, a co-anchor of the Today Show. In her forties she became a breast cancer survivor, in her fifties she adopted her daughters and became a mother for the first time, and at sixty, she walked away from the peak of her career to launch a brand-new business with no prior experience. Every single time life whispered, “It’s too late for you,” Hoda said, “No, it’s not. Watch me.” The wisdom she is sharing, directly with you, will prove that it's not too late – you can reinvent your life. She is going to walk you step by step through how she did it, over and over again. She will teach you how to: -“Stop the train” of your life, zoom out, and honestly ask, “Is this actually enough for me?” -Find the courage to give voice to the quiet dream you’ve buried because you’re afraid it won’t happen -Keep going when other people say you're not good enough -Reframe fear, rejection, and “no” using Hoda’s wild early-career story (27 rejections and ONE person who changed everything) -Truly start to believe that you do deserve more If you feel stuck in your job, your relationship, your routine, or just in a version of yourself you’ve outgrown, this episode is your permission slip and your playbook. This is your sign. This is your moment. Let Hoda show you what’s possible. For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.
