Happy Is the Wrong Goal | Sara Haines, Co-Host of The View

from Happiness Sold Separately · host McCosh Films

Sara Haines has one of the most recognizable voices in American television, and she built it by refusing to pretend she had it all figured out.In this conversation with Jason Hensley, Sara opens up about growing up as the third of four kids in Newton, Iowa, feeling invisible in her own family home videos, and spending her early years chasing the feeling she got on a volleyball court or a show choir stage, without quite knowing what to do with it.She talks about moving to New York with no headshots, no connections, and no idea how to ride the subway, landing in NBC's page program, and eventually being told by someone she trusted that they didn't see her as a host. And why that was the moment she knew she had to leave.She goes deep on postpartum, not the version you hear about, but the real one, where you want to pack up your Chihuahua and disappear. On motherhood and the love that didn't arrive on cue.On being a proud independent in a world that keeps demanding you pick a side. And on why "happy" might be the most dangerous goal we've ever set for ourselves.This one will stay with you.🎙️ Find Happiness Sold Separately on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube — search McCosh Films.📸 Instagram: @mccoshfilms🌐 mccoshfilms.comWant to bring that kind of clarity and human connection to your organization?
