Joan Lunden is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, speaker, and women’s health advocate best known for her nearly two decades on Good Morning America. A mother of seven and breast cancer survivor, she has spent her career challenging expectations for women in television, work, and family life. Her memoir, JOAN: Life Beyond the Script, reflects on the experiences and decisions that shaped her extraordinary journey.

In this episode, Joan sits down with Christina to discuss the loss of her father, the determination she inherited from her mother, and the chances she took to build a groundbreaking television career. She shares what it was like to enter newsrooms that weren’t ready for women, negotiate bringing her baby to work, and push for recognition at Good Morning America. Their conversation explores trusting your ability to learn, advocating for yourself, and staying open to meaningful work and new possibilities as you age.
