Who is Lindsey Granger?
Both Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie are older moms, and while they wear that badge with honor, they’ve also experienced their fair share of criticism. “I got a letter at my house from some lady, and she said, ‘Who do you think you are, having kids at this age?'” Kotb recalled to Good Housekeeping. She was astonished that a stranger took the time to write a letter and mail it to her home address just to tell her that.
So, what did Kotb take away from that situation? “I’ve come to learn that there are two ways to live your life,” she said. “You can live your life worrying about what people think of your life, or you can live your life.”
She also has much more important matters to think about: her two girls. “I find myself being so much more patient and calm than I ever would have been at a younger age,” Kotb said about her experience of being an older mom. “You realize we sometimes blow things out of proportion.” Ultimately, we’re just excited that Kotb is doing well.
