Hoda Kotb already has her sights set on the next chapter of her career. After nearly two decades of co-anchoring NBC’s Today show, she’ll sign off for the final time on Friday, January 10. But that doesn’t mean the 60-year-old broadcaster is slowing down anytime soon. As revealed during the Monday, January 6 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kotb shared her exciting next venture: a wellness app—and we can’t wait to see it come to life.
“I am starting a wellness app and company that will involve retreats and a podcast and all kinds of things that we can get together, do things that I love,” Kotb told Clarkson. “It’s not like going to Mexico with your girls, which is fun, but this is something that when you leave, you’ll go like, ‘Oh my gosh. I feel transformed. I feel different.’ So I’m in the building process of that.”
Kotb said her new venture is set to launch this spring—and it’s clear Clarkson is all for it. “That’s so healthy to be the voice for that and build a community for that, because I need—a lot of us need—to be better at that,” she told her show guest. “I’m like, ‘Go, go, go, go.’ A lot of us are. We exhaust ourselves and we’re not good at knowing how to be still or slow down.”
This transition feels natural for Kotb, who began her wellness journey “a couple of years ago,” telling Clarkson that she “got hooked in the wellness space.” She added: “I started doing stuff that I thought seemed woo woo and weird, and then all of a sudden as I was doing it, I was like, ‘Wait, I feel calmer, I feel better.’
Stay tuned—NewBeauty will share more information about the app as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can watch the full clip from The Kelly Clarkson Show below.
