Yearwood has authored several cookbooks that showcase her healthy and indulgent eating habits. These books are touted as reflections of her genuine dietary habits. They offer fans insights into how she maintains her health while still enjoying the foods she loves.

Yearwood shared that as a woman in her 50s, it has taken her a long time to be comfortable in her skin and when she sees a confident young woman, she envies that. She joked that some days she felt like she was in her 20s, and other days, she felt like she was in her 50s, but she takes it as it comes.

She said being in the public eye meant that people constantly judged her, so she had to learn to let go of what people thought of her. Despite criticism from the public, Yearwood continues to captivate audiences with her talent.
