Description

In this episode of New Chapters, broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher reflects on an extraordinary career that’s spanned almost three decades in front of the camera and now behind the mic.

Known for breaking ground as one of the few women in sports broadcasting at Sky Sports News, Kirsty opens up about resilience, allegations of nepotism, equal pay battles, and the pressure of proving herself in a male-dominated world.

She shares why she chose to leave Sky Sports, how Covid cemented her love of radio as a companion medium, and what it means to reinvent herself as host of Drive on Gold Radio.Kirsty also speaks candidly about sleepless nights with anxiety, battling an eating disorder, and navigating the pain of a public divorce – all while raising her sons and working tirelessly to provide for them.

Today, she is embracing a new chapter with fresh energy: finding love again, pursuing passion projects, and manifesting what’s next.

This is an episode about drive, determination, and daring to pivot – and why even in the most challenging seasons, courage can transform the story.
