Hoda Kotb, the beloved former co-anchor of the Today show, has recently revealed exciting news to her fans. After leaving the show just two months ago, Kotb announced her upcoming book, “Jump and Find Joy,” set to be released on September 23, 2025, by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kotb shared that the inspiration for her latest literary venture came from those who take bold leaps in life. Reflecting on her own experiences, Kotb expressed admiration for individuals like Viola Davis and Sarah Jakes Roberts, whose stories will be featured in her book.
Throughout her writing process, Kotb drew inspiration from personal connections, including impactful moments such as witnessing Sandra Bullock’s journey in adopting children. These stories of courage and resilience are interwoven with anecdotes from Kotb’s own life, creating a tapestry of inspiration for readers.
Despite her departure from the Today show earlier this year to spend more time with her daughters, Haley Joy and Hope Catherine, Kotb remains closely connected to her former co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager. Both Guthrie and Hager, who are also accomplished authors, have supported Kotb in her new endeavour.
Kotb emphasised the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in storytelling, a theme that resonates throughout her upcoming book. By sharing personal challenges and triumphs, Kotb hopes to encourage readers to embrace their own journeys, flaws and all.
In addition to her book release, Kotb is also working on a wellness company set to launch in May. Despite her busy schedule, Kotb radiates enthusiasm and passion for her projects, viewing them as a natural extension of her purpose in life.
As she navigates this new chapter post-Today show, Kotb reflects on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of embracing change. Through her writing and personal experiences, she encourages others to seek joy and fulfilment in their own lives.
“Jump and Find Joy” promises to be a captivating read, filled with inspiring stories and heartfelt reflections. An ode to resilience and personal growth, Kotb’s book invites readers to take their own leaps of faith and discover the joy that awaits on the other side.
Fans can look forward to the official release of “Jump and Find Joy” on September 23 and are encouraged to pre-order the book to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
