Hoda Kotb Announces New Book Two Months After Leaving Today Show (Exclusive)

Ever since Hoda Kotb left Today, fans have wondered about two things. First, who will replace her as Jenna Bush Hager‘s co-host? And second, what will Kotb do next?

After hinting that her plans might have something to do with the “wellness space,” Kotb made a huge announcement in a video message on the Monday, March 10 episode of Today: She’s coming out with a book this fall called “Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life.”

“Everybody in their life, at one point, stands on the edge of something and says, ‘Should I jump?’” Kotb said in her message.

“Jump and find joy. That’s what it’s about. Jump and find joy. Let’s go,” she continued.

Revealing her inspiration for the book, Kotb explained that she “started thinking about different people who I’ve loved and respected and admired who’d been afraid to do something and have done it.”

“You get one life, that’s all,” she said. “That’s it. It’s ready for the taking, but it takes a jump.”

Now, Kotb’s “one life” is focused on spending time with her daughters, Haley, 8, and Hope, 5.

“I get to watch my kids grow up in front of me. Like, I get to bear witness,” she said. Recently, she’s learned that Haley likes her eggs in the morning “over hard, really hard” instead of scrambled.

“It’s the smallest things and the biggest things, but you’re witnessing them in all parts of their day, and I’m treasuring that,” she added.

“It’s the smallest things and the biggest things, but you’re witnessing them in all parts of their day, and I’m treasuring that,” she added.

Now available for preorder, Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life, will be released on Sept. 23, 2025.
