“I have some big news to share! @JoannaGaines is giving my @joy101 office space a #MiniReni. Tune in to see this transformation on the season finale Wednesday, July 9 at 8p/7c on @MagnoliaNetwork and @StreamOnMax,” Hoda shared on social media.

“As I stepped into that space for the first time, I thought it was the perfect template for a mini reni in that it’s all white walls and very simple, and all I need to do is build on the layers and story and all the pretty stuff,” says Joanna in the clip.

Hoda recently launched her own wellness app

The office is for Hoda’s new wellness business, Joy 101, and she added that it needs to feel “uplifting, and airy, and free”.

Mini Reni sees Jo tackling smaller transformations

Hoda launched her new wellness platform, Joy 101, on Wednesday May 28, explaining in a statement that she felt compelled to share all she had learned about wellness and health.

“You know when you find something so special, so life-changing that you just have to share it? That’s me, and that’s Joy 101,” she said. “It’s a place to pass on the light, the lessons and the healing I’ve been lucky enough to receive from the very best in wellness. Think of it as an introduction into a more joyful, balanced, beautiful life. Let’s goooooo!”

The app will include programs on breathwork, meditation, and sleep techniques, as well as courses taught by college professors on topics like purpose and curiosity.

The name came from Hoda’s childhood memories, sharing that it is a time when “we had joy without trying”.

“It’s almost like a rite of passage in life and birth,” Hoda, 60, shared on rediscovering joy. “It’s in you, and so we’re just kind of peeling back the layers and letting it out again. That’s what it feels like to me. Get rid of all the junk that’s covering up your joy.”

Joanna Gaines Joins the Joy 101 Mission

Joanna Gaines, known for her warm minimalist designs on HGTV and Magnolia Network, has brought her signature style to the first space for Hoda’s new wellness brand: Joy 101.

The office space is light-filled and serene—

Every material, color, and lighting choice was made to inspire peace and clarity.

Joanna takes the lead on a special episode of “Mini Reni,” Magnolia Network’s quick makeover series. The season finale, featuring Hoda’s new workspace, is set to air July 9 on Max and Magnolia.

 A New Formula: Wellness + Design

Hoda recently revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that she’s fallen in love with the world of “woo-woo”—breathwork, energy, meditation—and how it has helped her feel “calmer and better.” This became the foundation for Joy 101, a multifaceted wellness brand offering:

A mobile app,

Personal retreats,

And a deeply personal podcast.

Designing the first workspace is just the beginning. Hoda and Joanna believe that where you live and work can deeply impact your mental and emotional state.

Fan Reactions: Excitement Everywhere

Fans on Instagram are thrilled:

“This is going to be good!!!!!!”

“Hoda + Joanna?! I can’t wait!!!”

Joanna commented with love: “Let’s go!!! So incredibly proud of you @hodakotb 🥹🌱”

 A Promising Collaboration

Hoda Kotb and Joanna Gaines are each trailblazers in their own fields—one in heartfelt media, the other in soul-driven design. Together, they’re poised to create a new kind of lifestyle experience, blending internal wellness with external space.

With Joy 101, it starts with a calm, inspiring office—but the goal is much bigger: to help people feel better, live better, and maybe even transform themselves from the inside out.
