Looking after me

Susanna Reid is a TV presenter and journalist who co-anchors TV breakfast show Good Morning Britain. We caught up with Susanna to talk about how she takes care of herself.

What does it mean to take care of yourself and why do you think it’s important?

It’s important to take care of yourself because if you get overstretched it’s not just you that suffers, the people around you can suffer as well. Giving yourself a break and saying ‘no’ when you need to is vital.

How do you balance everything in your life?

I’m lucky that my work’s finished by the time the children come home from school, so I’m able to spend a good amount of time with them. I always cook them a meal and talk to them about homework or stuff at school. I try to make time to go out with friends at the weekend. 

What’s your favourite way to relax?

Binge watching Suits on Netflix!

What’s the one thing you swear by for your mental wellbeing?

Asking for help. Whether that’s someone who can help me with a pile-up of admin or someone who can help with childcare so I can make time for friends.
