"So the last time I've watched the news was January 20th when I was at the White House," she said. "I have not watched the news. I have really tried to focus on self-care, I have really tried to focus on my daughter, I have a 10-year-old."

"I think the best way to say this is 'I have deprogrammed myself so that I could be a civilian again,'" she said. "I used wake up at 4:30 in the morning, like that was my schedule every day for four years, and I thought that when stepped away from the lectern, the podium, that I would have this like, adrenaline, like I would need to feed my, like, 'Aahhh! I need to be doing something!' And I have not missed it at all."

When asked about what is next for her career, Jean-Pierre replied, "I would love to know myself."

She then emphasized that after being in such an intense job for so long, she needs time to figure out her next career move.

"It's going to take a little bit of time to deprogram and to get on the other side of that," Jean-Pierre said. "I am the longest-serving female press secretary, which is insane when I learned that, but that tells you that you know you get burned out in these jobs. So I'm excited about what's next. I feel like I want to be very much in control of what's next, but I don't have a job to announce at this time."
