Good For The Soul

Studio 10 Co-host Sarah Harris Talks To Paul Ewart About Being Proud Of Her Body, The Magic Of Motherhood, And Her ‘brains-over-bum’ Exercise Regimen

Dressed down, makeup free, and struggling after a sleepless night courtesy of her teething toddler, Studio 10 co-host Sarah Harris is in low-maintenance mum-mode. Balancing a highly demanding gig in the notoriously cut-throat world of morning TV, all the while raising two young boys under the age of three, it’s understandable that the popular personality has little time for BS. When Good Health & Wellbeing catches up with the funny straight-talker, she candidly chats about the newfound love for her body’s “bumps and lumps” and the “epiphany” that’s changed her life. “When you’re working a full-time job, raising kids and trying to be a good wife, there’s not a lot of time spent on nourishing the soul!” laughs the 37-year-old. “I feel like I’m ‘on’ so much of the week because of being on TV – talking, interviewing, and so on – that by the end of the week I’m spent. So, my weekend therapy is just not talking and vegging out. “I think ‘me-time’ is so important, and I don’t mean going for massages or facials, because that’s bloody expensive and not realistic. I’m so much happier out of makeup, bra off, and at home on the couch. That’s nourishing the soul for me!”

A regular on Ten’s morning show since it launched in 2013 – in addition to regular spots on The Sunday Project, and hosting Ten’s Shark Tank – her weekdays begin with a 5am wake-up call before heading into the studio to prep for the daily three-and-a-half-hour show.
