Hoda Kotb Is on to Her Next Venture: Joy 101, a Personalized, Daily Wellness App

Hoda Kotb is back with her latest venture. On Wednesday, the former 'Today' host is unveiling the launch of her wellness app Joy 101. It is a personalized daily wellness platform that provides insights from experts, researchers — and Kotb, of course. The platform, which will be available to download in two weeks, will cost $17 a month or $99 for the full year. More from WWD West Hollywood Hot Pilates Studio Silver Springs and Aubrey Swims Release Bikini Collaboration How AI Is Actually Reshaping the Future of Beauty Formulation Wellness Podcasts Are Soaring on Spotify. Here, the Top 10 Shows by Popularity Specifically, it will include a daily wisdom from Kotb, expert-led courses on topics like brain health and breathwork, 500-plus sessions on a variety of wellness subjects, guided meditations and twice-monthly livestreams with Kotb and friends. The first livestream will be held on June 11 with Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie. The platform will also offer sleep support, movement sessions, community conversation, access to Joy 101's in-person retreats led by Kotb, which will kick off in the fall, and an annual in-person celebration called JoyFest and a personalized plan for each user compiling all of the above. Joy 101 also features a group of advisers including Good American chief executive officer Emma Grede, journalist and advocate Maria Shriver and neuroscientist and dean of NYU's college of arts and science Dr. Wendy Suzuki. Kotb's inspiration for the app started while she was at 'Today' when Bush Hager, her cohost, pushed her to try a breathwork session with one of her go-to practitioners. Kotb reluctantly tried a session on Zoom. 'After seven minutes, I exploded in tears. I was sobbing,' she recalled. While the emotional release was surprising and helpful, it was the after effects that impacted Kotb the most. 'It gave me this weird clarity. I remember I walked back to my apartment and I was like, 'Oh my god.' I was very calm. [My daughter] Haley even said to me, 'Mom, what's going on?' I go, 'Nothing. I feel great,'' she said. 'I was calm. I noticed that I had clarity. I had a great night's sleep, and the next morning at work, I was firing through my notes…. This felt like a big deal.' It was and is a big deal, as Kotb still practices this breathwork for five to seven minutes each day. From there, she was hooked and ready to find additional rituals that could amplify the results of these breathwork sessions. She and Bush Hager were on this journey together, trying other practices like meditation, poring over their results while on 'Today.' Seeing her passion for these practices, Kotb's friend Shriver recommended she try a retreat at the Hoffman Institute. 'She said, 'I've lived with nuns. I've walked with the Dalai Lama. I ate with Thich Nhat Hanh.' She goes, 'I'd trade my Georgetown degree for this place,'' Kotb recalled. 'I of course signed up… It was more life changing than anything else I'd ever done.' With these experiences and a passion for discovering new practices and experts, Kotb realized she was going to a variety of places and people to get the best of the best when it could all exist under one platform. Enter Joy 101. '[It's] like the retreat in your pocket,' she said. '[This] all came to be because of trying something once. It reminds me, my 60s is really about being a beginner again. That's what I'm doing. I'm beginning again, and it's fun. It's like, 'Oh my god! What a cool decade ahead.'' While Kotb started ideating what Joy 101 would be a few years ago, it wasn't always this type of platform. She originally played around with doing a summer camp for kids but quickly realized women actually needed the same type of attention and access to community. As Bush Hager and Shriver's suggestions inspired Kotb, so did many of her guests and women she has looked up to over the years. Kotb recalled one interview with actress Viola Davis that especially inspired her. 'I interviewed her and said, 'How would you describe your childhood?,' and she said, 'I was hungry…' She described how difficult and treacherous it was, and she also described looking at the TV and seeing Cicely Tyson and going, 'I'm going to do that,'' said Kotb. 'That's a very extreme example, but I think what people need is to see somebody doing something like Viola.' In her personal life, Kotb said she felt the same way when she saw Sandra Bullock adopt a child. She hopes to bring these same moments of inspiration to Joy 101 users. 'What this is doing is showing, in another way, women. Look at how different your life can feel,' said Kotb. 'You can make a change and a choice, and you can see how people who have tried it are feeling. Maybe it's something to look at, maybe something to give a try.' For Kotb, all of these wellness practices that she's picked up over the last several years have become daily non-negotiables. Every day she practices breathwork, meditation and her specific style of journaling. 'I write down body, intellect, emotions and spirit, and I write down what does each thing need today,' said Kotb. For example, she said her body may need a rest or a bit of exercise, and her intellect may need to read two chapters of the book that's long been sitting on her nightstand. 'There's my mini road map for the day,' she said. 'It's not a lot, and it's one thing here and one thing there, small things, but it gives you something that nourishes all the parts of you.' In addition to these habits, after years of middle-of-the-night wake-up calls for 'Today,' Kotb is an expert when it comes to sleep practices, which will be featured on the app. Her top suggestions include putting your cell phone in a different room before bed, and making sure the last thing in your brain is nourishing like a daily devotional — Kotb reads a daily page from 'The Book of Awakening' each night. She also keeps a notepad by her bed just in case she needs to do a brain dump before heading to sleep — for eight hours of course. As she launches Joy 101, Kotb said she will define the platform's success by its engaged users. 'Do you want 50,000 people who do a drive-by of your app every now and then, or go to a retreat or look at it online once in a while, or would I rather have 15,000 people who are like, 'I can't wait. When's the next retreat? Oh, you have a new course,'' she said. 'I want that kind of a community, as opposed to, 'Look how many people have come' because I think the people who come are going to want and need this.'

Here's Why White Lotus Fans Think There Could Be Beef Between Walton Goggins And Aimee Lou Wood

The White Lotus co-stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood have found themselves at the centre of rumours that the two might have fallen out. Since the finale premiered less than a week ago, fans pointed out that the pair – who played couple Rick and Chelsea in the third season of the hit US show, and have spoken highly of each other throughout the series – are no longer following one another on Instagram. Interestingly, fans have also pointed out that Aimee's comments and likes appear are no longer visible on Walton's Instagram posts, indicating that he may have blocked her on the site. His likes and comments are still present on hers, though. Earlier this week, Walton also posted a string of behind-the-scenes photos of himself and Aimee behind the scenes of The White Lotus in Thailand, praising the Bafta winner 'for being my partner' on 'a journey I will never forget'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Walton Goggins (@waltongogginsbonafide) His post was initially accompanied by the Fleetwood Mac track Silver Springs, which Aimee also used alongside a post of hers in the last few days, although the song appears to have been removed from both posts since.

The White Lotus season 3 finale shocks fans as rumors swirl of off-screen feud between Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins

The emotional season 3 finale of HBO's The White Lotus left audiences stunned with the tragic deaths of Rick and Chelsea—but now, fans are shifting their focus from the show's fictional heartbreak to a potential real-life rift between stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood. In the finale, Rick (Goggins) seeks revenge on resort owner Jim Hollinger (Scott Glenn), believing him to be his father's killer. In a devastating twist, Rick realizes too late that he's killed his own father. The ensuing chaos results in Chelsea's (Wood) death by a stray bullet and Rick's death at the hands of a security guard. The haunting final shot of their bodies floating in a pond, framed like a Yin and Yang symbol, sealed what many are calling one of the series' most tragic moments. Most beautifully devastating shot of all time#TheWhiteLotus — Gemma aka Ms Casey (@sciencegirll) April 7, 2025 Series creator Mike White reflected on the storyline, calling it 'a classic theme of Greek tragedy.' He explained on The White Lotus podcast, 'Chelsea has this kind of romantic fatalism about their relationship, and you want to buy into it.' In her final plea to Rick, Chelsea says: 'Stop fixating on the love you didn't get. Think about the love you have. I'm right here!' While the fictional love story left many devastated, off-screen speculation about the actors' dynamic is creating just as much buzz. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Wood and Goggins no longer follow each other on Instagram. 'Aimee Lou Wood follows 5,160 people on Instagram and none of them are Walton Goggins,' one fan pointed out on X. aimee lou wood follows 5,160 people on instagram and none of them are walton goggins… — dooney and broke (@fincherslay) April 8, 2025 I'm so curious ab this beef between aimee lou wood and walton goggins……. I just wish I was in the company of sam rockwell and leslie bibb right now — ariely ¨̮ (@sinadiemequiere) April 3, 2025 Adding to the mystery, Goggins posted a heartfelt tribute to the show, tagging most of his co-stars—but noticeably excluding Wood. 'Walton Goggins not tagging Aimee but tagging everyone else… WHAT HAPPENED,' one Reddit user wrote. Another fan chimed in: 'They used to idolize each other and talk about each other in such positive light in interviews… It's so weird that all of a sudden there's this switch up.' However, the signs aren't all negative. Goggins also posted an 18-slide Instagram Story of behind-the-scenes moments with Wood, set to Fleetwood Mac's 'Silver Springs.' In a separate post, he wrote: 'With the heaviest of hearts… To me, ours was a love story. It was only ever a love story, hindered by unresolved, childhood trauma. Thank you Aimee Lou for being my partner… a journey I will never forget.' Wood also shared her own tribute to the characters' journey, calling it 'nuts' but sweet in its own way. 'Both can be true. It's all of it,' she wrote, adding that Rick and Chelsea's 'self-destructiveness' ultimately led to their downfall. Still, some fans were less forgiving of Rick's character, questioning his treatment of Chelsea and the age gap in their relationship. 'Chelsea dying over a man twice her age? You'll pay for this, Mike White,' one fan posted. Another added, '[Rick] gave [Chelsea] nothing the entire time and got her killed in the end.' chelsea dying over a man twice her age, you'll pay for this mike white #thewhitelotus — ؘ (@selnwr) April 7, 2025 If Rick really loved Chelsea the way she loved him he would have never put her in that position. He never even would have brought her on that trip and I will stand ten toes down on that. Y'all romanticize stuff too much. Open your eyes! #TheWhiteLotus — Rachel Tensions (@rachellacroixs) April 7, 2025 white lotus spoilers moral of the story, you will not fix that man, you will not save that man, he will pull you down with him, and he will be the death of you. — fat!so? (@fatfabfeminist) April 7, 2025 so lochlan gets to resurrect like jesus christ yet chelsea dies??? #TheWhiteLotus — juju🤍 (@jul13an) April 7, 2025 Music critic Carl Wilson offered a more grounded view, suggesting fans might be reading too much into social media clues. 'Everyone on here reading tea leaves on Walton Goggins & Aimee Lou Wood clearly has never met actors, who are constantly emotionally over the top with each other, until they move on to their next job and don't even keep in touch,' he wrote. Whether it's an off-screen feud or just fans overanalyzing post-production silence, one thing is certain: The White Lotus continues to fuel conversation long after the credits roll.
