Oprah Bonds Over Intentionality With Chip and Joanna Gaines on Her New Show

Within the world of interior design, Chip and Joanna Gaines are legends. The married couple are the stars of HGTV's mega-hit Fixer Upper, which follows the renovation work of their Waco, Texas-based firm, Magnolia. Now, Chip is opening up about their extraordinary (and stylish) life together, and the lessons they've learned, in a new memoir, No Pain, No Gaines.
Oprah sat down with the parents of five on a forthcoming episode of her new show Super Soul, which premiered in February and is available to watch on Discovery+, a streaming service that contains over 55,000 episodes of shows from Food Network, HGTV, TLC, and OWN.
Together, Oprah and the Gaineses bonded over their shared value of intentionality. "Intention is the foundation of everything I do. Why do I really want to do this?" Oprah told Chip and Joanna during the episode.
As this clip from Super Soul demonstrates, Joanna has the same approach to life. Joanna once said in a previous interview, "Getting the intention right helps make all other decisions going forward that much better and changes your perspective." While speaking to Oprah, Joanna elaborated on what she meant by that quote—especially in the context of their hectic schedule as parents and business owners.
"We we think about the time we have. We have five kids. We have this business. Anything we say yes to, there has to be a meaningful 'why' behind it. It's not just to add to our portfolio or tackle bigger dreams," Joanna said.
For both Oprah and Joanna, the key to decision-making comes down to identifying and committing to your "why" question. Ask why you want to do something—and be sure you like the answer. "When we can align with the 'why' and get passionate about it, then that gives us the fuel to get across the finish line. The intention part is the most important," Joanna says.
The complete Super Soul episode with Chip and Joanna Gaines will be available to stream on Discovery+ starting Saturday, March 13, with the podcast version dropping on March 17.
The Gaineses are among the many trailblazers and tastemakers joining Oprah in the first batch of Super Soul episodes. The series will also bring us wisdom from names like Andra Day, star of The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Unfinished), Sharon Stone (The Beauty of Living Twice), and The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies (Sunshine Girl).
