Ep 77: Write Your Own Rules And Find Your Joy With Hoda Kotb

Like a fine wine, Hoda Kotb keeps getting better with age. This week she takes us through the pain points of her 40s — cancer, divorce and thinking children might not be in her future — and how all of them made her fearless. She also tells us how now, in her 50s, she’s in a job she pushed for, in a relationship that makes her happy and, best of all, a mother to her baby, Haley Joy, who she adopted earlier this year.

Then, Kelly and I answer your questions on how to handle your bank accounts post-Equifax breach and whether or not a company credit card can affect your credit score.
