Hoda Kotb’s “repotting” era might involve some shiplap.

“Remember I was talking about repotting—- gotta take first steps,” the 60-year-old journalist captioned a new series of photos. “We have something fun cooking! Come along on the great adventure…..Stay tunedI love @joannagaines.”

In the images, Kotb is seen hugging and working with Gaines, 46, as they look around an empty office-style space, study a computer and pose with a team, all while cameras are rolling.

“I kind of got hooked in the wellness space, like a couple of years ago,”Kotb shared onThe Kelly Clarkson Showin January. “I started doing stuff that I thought seemed woo woo and weird, and then all of a sudden as I was doing it, I was like, ‘Wait, I feel calmer, I feel better.’ ”

At the time, Kotb added that she plans to start a wellness app and a company, and the new endeavor will involve retreats and a podcast.

“We can get together, do things that I love, and when you’re done, it’s not like going to Mexico with your girls, which is fun, but this is something that when you leave, you’ll go like, ‘Oh my gosh. I feel transformed. I feel different,’ ” she told Clarkson. “So I’m in the building process of that.”

“As I write this, my heart is all over the map,” shewrote in a letterto staff of the NBC morning show. “I know I’m making the right decision, but it’s a painful one. And you all are the reason why. They say two things can be right at the same time, and I’m feeling that so deeply right now. I love you and it’s time for me to leave the show.”
