As if Hoda Kotb isn’t busy enough already, the Today show star recently unveiled a “secret project” she’s been working on — and it's super exciting.

On Tuesday, the 57-year-old mother of two announced that she’s officially launching a new podcast called Making Space with Hoda Kotb. Standing at the Today Plaza in New York City, Hoda shared the thrilling news with fellow NBC stars Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Craig Melvin.

"I like to get life advice from people, and I like people who've lived incredible lives who are great life coaches. And that's what this is," Hoda said. "So I've been interviewing people, and I'm not kidding, I have a notepad next to me while they're talking and giving life advice."

Hoda continued: “I feel like you can learn from people’s experiences … These episodes are fun. They’re people you know, they’re people you don’t know … I’ve got a couple of great guests to kick it off. They’ll make you feel so much better ...”

Upon hearing about Hoda’s latest venture, fans flooded her Instagram comments section to celebrate. “I am so excited about your podcast Hoda! You inspire me each and every day and I can’t wait to listen,” one person wrote. “Congratulations 👏👏,” another added. “Is there anything you can’t do 👏🔥😍,” a different fan said. “Love this ❤️ you are a beautiful light 💫,” a follower commented.

Hoda's eight-episode series will premiere on September 20. On the premiere date, Hoda will be releasing the first two episodes of her new audio show. According to Forbes, listeners can expect to hear personal stories from inspirational guests, like Transformation Church Pastor Michael Todd, authors Suleika Jaouad, Mitch Albom and Anne Lamott, and Oscar-winning musician Jon Batiste. The weekly episodes will encourage people to “make space” to find happiness in life, even during difficult moments.

If you’re in need of a few inspirational words or thoughtful messages, Hoda’s new podcast sounds like something you'll want to check out this month.
