Georgie Gardner’s lust for life

Effortlessly positive, the TV presenter reveals what energises her and why she feels a sense of urgency to enjoy every moment.

The veteran TV journalist opens up about resetting her priorities and making the most of every moment.

Georgie Gardner has a lot on her plate. At 50, the veteran journalist is one of the most recognisable and respected women on Australian television. She’s also the mother of two teens, Bronte, 15, and Angus, 14, the wife of investment banker Tim Baker (to whom she’s been married for almost 19 years) and an ambassador for three children’s charities, Raise, School for Life and Redkite (she’s recently been invited to join the board of the latter). Plus, she’s a weekend presenter on Nine News Sydney and host of the podcast Drive, which she launched last year, interviewing successful and inspiring women from all walks of life.

I’m making a conscious decision to reset my priorities and count my blessings.
