I suppose for the last few years of that, I did begin to think, right, what do I do next?

What does the next chapter of my life look like?

You know, how do I take control of that?

And and I suppose how do I how am I the author of my own destiny?

Because otherwise you can just sort of almost especially I think as a woman, you sort of.

get shoehorned into a way of life that perhaps you haven't really decided whether you want that.

You might want something different.

So I did take a few years just to think about, well, what do I do next and what would make me happy?

And, you know, I do think the thing about the Sky News show that I'm launching is that it's going to feel really different.

It's going to feel really there's going to be a lot of personality in there.

There's going to be a sort of energy and informality.

It's built very much for YouTube as well as the Sky News channel.

So there's that feeling of doing something different, which is very bracing, very energising.

And I think that makes me happy.

A bit scary?

Oh, God, yeah.

I mean, yeah.

And there have been times when I wake up in the middle of the night and think, what the hell am I doing?

You know, I've I had this very stable, very contented professional life and I've just thrown it up in the air.

But you need to live a bit.
