I like to answer two questions at once. Yeah, that's good.

For the most part, I don't miss being a TV news anchor anymore. There are some little things that I miss. Well, I'll tell you what I don't miss. I don't miss getting up at 3.45 to go to work. I don't miss every time some asshole with an AK-47 walks into a supermarket, I have to go cover it. The extent to which my life wasn't my own because I was constantly on call, I really started to resent that.

What I do miss is... There are aspects of morning television in particular where you're in this camaraderie with the other people on the set, and it requires you to be really spontaneous. If you're thinking about the past or the future in those moments, you're going to screw it up. You have to be really right there and awake.

And I love that, and I'm still really close to a lot of my friends from ABC News. That little part I miss. And so I've actually been experimenting with doing some more television recently where I've been going on ABC and CNN and some other places and talking about mental health and how to survive the news and things like that. And I do enjoy that. And I probably will keep doing more of that.

I just don't want to do it full time. To the other part of your question, which is how do you survive the news? This is an individual question because

it's really like what your nervous system can handle and i this is where i think mindfulness meditation can help like the self-awareness to know or how much can vanessa take you know because we all want to walk the line between being an informed citizen on the one hand and a crazy person on the other hand and so you know you to have the self-awareness of like oh yeah i'm on hour eight of twitter and i'm posting in all caps

All right. Put the phone down. And so for me, I do consume a non-trivial amount of news. But like I also know sometimes I need animal videos or sometimes I need to take a walk or sometimes I need to lock the phone in another room and play catch with my son. I'm much better at balancing it than I used to be. And I think that's available to all of us.

It's a huge pleasure. Thanks for having me on.
