"I have seven things I love and they're going to get a workout. I’m a re-wearer, and I don’t know if it’s a disaster, but it’s certainly my style", the 59-year-old continued. The journalist, who is a mother to daughters Haley, six, and Hope, four, opened up about several aspects of motherhood while chatting with the outlet.
Hoda Kotb on her irrational fear and obsession
When asked about her ludicrous fear, she said, "Probably when my kids scream. I think something’s broken, and I’ll go tearing up the stairs only to find them looking for something."
Hoda also disclosed her divine obsession, saying "Trader Joe’s Ice Cream Bon Bons. At the end of dinner, my kids say, 'Can I have our chocolate round thing?' There’s a tray of them, and last night I just started popping them. I was like, 'This is what heaven is.'"

Earlier, Hoda and Hager also lauded Oprah Winfrey’s epic weight-loss transformation and admitting to using weight-loss drugs.
Hoda said, “First of all, it works for Oprah, and she’s saying it out loud, which is awesome because I don’t know how many people, if any of us, know who are taking these [drugs] but are doing it in secret and saying, I’m just drinking water or I’m just walking.”
During an interview with Vogue for the magazine's winter issue, Miller expressed, "I’d love to get to a point where I didn’t feel the need to make a joke of my being older and having a baby. To show I'm in on the joke."

Responding to Miller's comments, Hoda Kotb, who became a mother for the first time at 52, expressed her understanding of Miller's perspective. She added, "Yeah, I think a lot of people do that, like you want to beat them to the punch, so you make the joke about, oh, I'm an older mom or if you feel heavy and... you make the joke about it. I was always a fat kid. That's the joke you make so no one else can make it.”
Hoda expressed getting emotional, “I am so happy and fulfilled with my decision that I don't feel any ounce of shame because my dad died when I was in college. You get your parent for as long as you get your parent and they lay a foundation that you cannot shake.”
