Today's show co-host Hoda Kopi has a new children's book,
Hope It's a Rainbow and a wide-ranging interview copy reflected
on her career with our Aaron Jensen.
My dad died when I was in college and I
think a lot of people whose parents die early,
you find yourself pushing beyond,
probably beyond your limits because you you really want an
Atta girl.
And I think I wonder often if my dad had
lived,
maybe I would have been happy in Fort Myers,
FL, anchoring the weekend show and meeting a cute boy.
And, you know, living that could have been my life,
you know, you don't know why,
Like, why do you keep going?
Like what's the what's the end game here?
Oh, maybe that was it.
You kind of want to be seen by him.
You know, about a year ago,
Hope is facing some tough times and in the hospital.
So I'm just wondering if you're able to share how
she's doing today.
She's doing much better. We have,
you know, we've learned how to manage all of it.
She has shown, and I've learned from her,
when a family is in a really difficult and scary
situation,
which we were in, a lot of families have been
in those kind of situations with something so scary,
you can actually become better.
Haley, her older sister, is a better sister.
Hope is a more resilient person than I ever imagined.
And I didn't know I could love her anymore.
You know, someone once told me this,
and I thought this was really good advice.
Don't put your worry on your child,
whatever your child's issue is,
because they know I've learned that I've grown as a
parent.
I'm like, I'm not putting my worry on her.
