“I wasn’t home until eight o’clock every single night, so when you have small kids, you’re missing every single dinner and bedtime. Now, I have different working hours, and a lot of the time I’m home for that.”
The TV host also told how her life on screen is very different to her life at home.
She explained: “Most of the moms have very big important jobs and travel a lot, so it’s like, ‘My mom’s in Bolivia today.’ I mean, they can watch me on the TV, and they find that exciting.
“I’m wearing all the pretty dresses and the pretty shoes and all that, which is not what I look like when I’m at home.
“But you just have to find a way to make it work, and that’s different for everyone. For some, it’s stepping out of their career for a few years; for others, it’s trying to manage.
“I think your children and your family are served best when you are happy in yourself. Work is very important for me… being a journalist is part of my soul and my core.”

NEW JOB
The Dublin beauty was all kitted out for the “freezing” weather conditions as she sported a black jacket and matching trousers paired with a hat, gloves and boots.
She captioned her post: “First time ever to film a piece to camera when the temperature was -26C, with the wind chill -39C.
“We did not stay long outside the car I can tell you! Quickest PTC ever recorded I’d say.
“And the most layers of clothes I’ve ever worn on TV. 4 layers of clothing, plus two hats, two pairs of gloves and three pairs of socks with fleece-lined snow boots.Â
