Ep 6 - Jenna Bush Hager: Navigating Chapters of Guilt and Gratitude

Jenna Bush Hager joins Paula to talk about the chapters of her life including: motherhood, marriage, her time in front of the camera, and what she wants out of the next 50 years. She opens up about the pressure she feels being a mother and why sometimes it’s helpful to ignore your children. The host of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, shares the extreme joy and unexpected guilt she felt after finding out she was pregnant with her third child, while also taking on one of the biggest opportunities of her career. She pulls back the curtain on how it feels to be burnt out as a teacher, and how her life during the pandemic forced her to slow down and figure out what makes her feel fulfilled. The former first-daughter also talks about the emotion of watching her parents grow older, and shares memories of her husband asking then-President George W. Bush, for her hand in marriage and their unforgettable first date which included a literal run-in with her secret service. New episodes every Tuesday.
