Kylie Pentelow says she grew up in a big family which was filled with love and a strong hard working ethic.   This she says provided the foundation to her career as a journalist - and what a career. From the Bath Chronicle to the BBC and then to ITV where she not only presented ITV West Country’s 6 o'clock show but the national ITN news as well.    But when Kylie became a mother her whole outlook on life and work changed. She decided to go freelance and today, alongside looking after her son Edward, she regularly presents BBC News, Radio 4’s Woman’s hour and BBC Radio 5 live.   In this conversation we discuss what it really feels like to present the national news, the importance of accepting setbacks and how a hot air balloon changed Kylie’s life.    Kylie spends much of her time interviewing people, so for me it was an honour to interview her – and what an interviewee she is. She’s warm, open, raw, brilliant and funny. I’ve known Kylie for many years now and I’ve personally learned such a lot from her – so I’m delighted now to be able to spend some time with her and you.  To learn more about Kylie you can find her here: https://www.instagram.com/kyliepentelow/ If you'd like to keep in touch and I'll send you weekylish notes of Next Chapter inspiration.
