Lauren Talarico will still be anchoring weekend mornings for KHOU 11 Houston, but is moving from reporting at nights during the week to the day shift.
"Balancing motherhood and a career is hard, as I know, so many of you understand. As my children get older working nights has become harder to balance for my family.
I often feel exhausted, guilty for missing bedtime, and like I am moving nonstop from dawn to dusk with very little time to just breathe.
It started taking a real toll on my body and mind.
So, I asked my name my new[s] director if she consider changing my schedule and she agreed. She barely took a beat. She told me she understood that both career and family are important.
I felt incredibly lucky. I wish more people had that experience.
So, from now on, you’ll see me on the dayshift! Here’s to rush-hour and doing what I love during three shows in a row, and then, hopefully most nights, being able to tuck my children into bed."
Talarico joined KHOU in 2014 from News19 WLTX Columbia, South Carolina.
