"If you want something bad enough, say it out loud. A friend once said, 'Even if you whisper in the bathroom mirror to yourself." "One thing I always wanted was kids, and I was afraid to speak it," she said.
"And one day I just looked at Joel [Schiffman] the guy I had been dating a year, and blurted something out I thought I wasn't going to be able to say."

Hoda often shares sweet stories about her children on TV. The proud mom this week told her co-star Jenna on the Fourth Hour show that she had bigged up Haley after a "traumatizing" visit to get her jabs.
She explained that while Haley was scared and crying after the experience, Hoda was quick to put a positive spin on the situation by telling passers-by about her brave daughter.
