The challenging part of parenting is to stick to your ideals and not give in.

I felt vindicated that I decided to speak up for not only myself but women all across the nation who've been put down.

I grew up a fat kid in a small town in Minnesota who was a tomboy and happened to play a mean violin. My goal was to be a famous concert artist some day.

I never had becoming Miss America on my radar screen. But when I was 17, I decided to quit the violin and my parents were devastated.

I'm a person who likes to give 100 percent to everything I do. I want to be the best at my job and as a mother.

I joke that I reached the bimbo trifecta when I came to Fox News! In being a former Miss America, being blonde and then Fox.

I felt like it was a sense of duty for me to give these women a voice.
