QUESTION EVERYTHING

Trying is Winning: with Sara Haines


Listen Later

Most people will be haunted by the words “what if?”—but not Sara Haines. She’s the witty and whip smart co-host on The View,  former anchor on Good Morning America and Today, Emmy-nominated journalist. In this episode, Sara opens up about the moments the world didn’t see; the less polished parts of her journey—the rejections, pivots, and quiet persistence that led her to one of the most iconic tables in television. Sara shares:

  • The real story behind getting on-air at the Today Show (hint: it involves stalking someone on the subway)
  • What happened when she finally got her name in the title... and then the show got canceled
  • The identity whiplash of going from “fun girl” to “mom content only”
  • The unexpected moment that nearly made her walk away from TV
  • The emotional toll of being praised, passed over, and pigeonholed
  • Her dream to be on Saturday Night Live and the moment she was actually parodied on it
  • The surprising advice her husband gave that set her free: “Let go of the dream you never actually had”
  • Why “being the person who tries” is her life’s north star.
  • Featuring cameos from: Kristen Cavallari, Hoda & Kathie Lee, Kiki Palmer, Chris Brown, and a surprisingly pivotal moment with a Facebook intern.
  • What it really means to try: when no one’s watching, when the outcome is uncertain, and when the voice in your head says “you’re not good enough.”
