Joanna Gaines Reflects On the Importance of Family
As a teenager, Joanna Gaines underwent a major transition when her family moved to Austin, Texas. Suddenly, she was thrust into a massive high school and began struggling with social anxiety. While appearing on “Stronger with Don Saladino,” Joanna reflected on the situation and thought about what she would tell her younger self.
“I would tell that girl that one day, you will feel seen and you will feel valuable. And what I mean isn’t because of the fame, none of that. It’s because I have a husband who values me in such a way that he calls me up and out. I have these beautiful five children and I feel the most known when I’m at home,” the 48-year-old shared.
Fans wish the Gaines family all the best as they continue making memories and sharing these wonderful milestones together.
