Kelly Ripa On: The Upside of Anxiety, the Case for Marriage Counseling, and Growing Older in Public

The longtime TV host and actor talks about working onscreen with her husband, her fear of public speaking, and what she does instead of sitting meditation.

  • Her resistance to meditation, and what she does instead

  • The upsides of anxiety
