In an interview with Katie Couric Media, Molner talked candidly about writing her memoir Going There in 2021 and watching Couric publicly discuss her cancer diagnosis. Hold on.
“I consider myself to be a private individual. However, Katie is well-known and enjoys sharing details of her life. She was going to share, and I was a little worried,” Molner admitted. In addition, I believed that she needed to be open and sincere about her experience in order to write a significant book. And she has carried out that action. If you’re not prepared to be real with yourself, there’s no sense in writing a book like this. And in my opinion, she did just that.
