Serena Williams on transition away from tennis: It hasn't been easy

Tennis star, mom and entrepreneur Serena Williams opens up to Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on what it's been like stepping away from tennis. "It hasn't been easy. It was all good when I was pregnant and now that I'm not anymore it's like, 'Oh I miss it so much.'" She also talks about being 'obsessed' with her two girls and how she's more active as a mom than when she was playing tennis. She then demos different makeup looks with products from her beauty line Wyn Beauty.

    I am a man, and love distance running. If I’m tired mid run, I would literally say to myself, “What would Serena do?” lol She’s more than an inspiration to women. She’s the inspiration to all athletes.
