When asked what advice she would give her younger self, the talk show host revealed a totally unexpected style choice she used to favor but wishes she hadn't done.

She admitted that she would tell a young Jenna to: "Take off the toe ring, don't get your belly button pierced..." and, the most heartwarming tip: "Trust that you're going to be living your dream one day soon."

The mom-of-three continued to keep it real with fans, sharing a hilarious video of herself doing pull-ups at a children's playground, eating burritos in the car, and revealing that her favorite pastime with her sister while traveling is: "Eating, laughing, and when we cozy up in bed watching Law & Order SVU."

She was later asked: "What did your folks do to try to let you have a normal childhood as [the President's] grandkid then a [President's] kid?"

Her answer was honest, and the proof she went on to show was even more so! She said: "My parents always allowed me to be 100% myself, which allowed me to make mistakes." She followed up the answer with a video to give an example, and it sees the co-anchor like you've never seen her before.

She continued to share candid clips with fans, following the bikini video with one of herself, mid wardrobe malfunction, as a stranger tried to cut her out of her pants.
