Speaking with her fellow Today colleagues, she opened up about often struggling with "mom guilt," but that advice from Julia herself has helped her get out of it.

She said: "You want someone who can commiserate with you for a minute as opposed to, 'Oh, that happened to my kids a long time ago. You'll be fine.'"
