Ep 28: FOX News' Kristin Fisher is Doing It All as a Mom and TV Reporter
We Gotta Talk: News, Issues, and Beauty for Women - A podcast by Sonni Abatta
Categories:
For her paying job, you can find FOX New's Kristin Fisher following the President all around the world, covering all the daily stories relating to his term in her position as Washington correspondent. But for the other, messier job--being a mom--you'll find her doing the same exact things other moms do--except trying to bend it around a crazy 3pm-midnight schedule. In this episode of 30 Something, I talk with Kristin about what it's like to work these two pretty important jobs, all while still trying to take care of herself. And Kristin has has a pretty incredible role model when it comes to watching a working mom who did it all. Her mother, quite literally, is out of this world. As the first mother in space, Anna Lee Fisher went to work--wait for it--THREE DAYS after giving birth to Kristin, to assure her place on the space mission would be confirmed. (Guys, she even brought her DONUT to work to sit on, she's that committed. I bow down.) All of that grit and drive rubbed off on Kristin, who's now navigating her way through motherhood with her own mom's help and wisdom. In this episode, we talk: + LIFE AS A TV NEWS REPORTER + WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TRAVEL AND PARENT + CAN WORKING MOMS REALLY HAVE IT ALL? + ADVICE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN WORKING IN TELEVISION + WHY EVERYONE LOOKING FOR A JOB IN MEDIA NEEDS TO BE A SELF-STARTER + KRISTIN'S FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR ON-AIR (AND OFF!) + WHAT IT'S LIKE GETTING STUCK IN A HOTEL IN NORTH KOREA WITH KIM JONG UN (WHAT?!?!? This story is insane.) Enjoy the episode!
