In one of her Instagram stories, Ivanka shared a screenshot of herself chatting with Lauryn and Michael Bosttick, the hosts of "The Skinny Confidential Him & Her" podcast. The show is all about interviewing and chatting with various important personalities, whether they're celebrities or entrepreneurs. 

The screenshot shows one of Ivanka's quotes: 

"You know, you have to be doing it for yourself and for the right reasons," she said. 

"Otherwise, I think there's a real ceiling on either where you can go because nobody works harder than somebody who loves what they do. Nobody."

“I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable,” she said, revealing that she wouldn't be involved with Trump's second term. 

“There is a darkness to that world that I don’t really want to welcome into mine." 

She concluded that she wanted to steer clear of that to protect her kids from negativity. “The main reason I am not going back to serve now is I know the cost, and it’s a price that I’m not willing to make my kids bear," she said.
