Deborah Norville is a TV legend, the longest serving anchor on American television. She’s also the proud mom of two sons and one daughter, and she’s so transparent about what she’s learned along the road of parenting them from infants to adults. We asked her to be our fortune teller mom from the future - to give us pearls of wisdom on the chapter we’re in right now—call it Chapter 5: Chaos Reigns:

• How she navigated some dark times in her career and in motherhood.
• What she regrets not doing with her own kids when they were young.
• Why she thinks gratitude is the best inoculation for struggles with mental health.  

Deborah Norville was inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2016. She’s been the host of Inside Edition, TV’s top-rated syndicated newsmagazine, since 1995. She joined the show from CBS News, where she was an anchor and correspondent. Deborah is also the former co-host of NBC’s Today Show and the former host of Deborah Norville Tonight on MSNBC.
