IVF, Broadcasting and Being Real with Hannah Vaughan Jones

In this powerful episode of Just Curious, Nicky and George sit down with journalist and media consultant Hannah Vaughan Jones. Known to many as a former anchor for Sky News and CNN, Hannah’s voice was a constant during some of the biggest global stories of the past decade. But behind the desk, what didn’t you see?

While carrying out an extraordinary career that has covered major world events from royal weddings to terrorist attacks, Hannah was privately enduring a deeply personal struggle with infertility, undergoing 15 rounds of IVF over six years. It was a story she only began sharing much later.

With remarkable honesty, Hannah opens up about the personal and professional pressures of live news. She discusses why leaders must shift from spin to sincerity, especially in today’s post-pandemic world. From coaching execs to moderating global summits, her mission now is to help others communicate with clarity, credibility and care.

She talks about owning vulnerability, preparing for tough questions, and why leaders who show their human side build more trust than those who try to be perfect.

And she also shares insights from Media Strong, her initiative supporting journalists exposed to trauma. It’s a conversation about courage, fallibility, and the enduring power of human connection.
