Irene Caso: I’m A Spaniard, Journalist, Mother and Mormon

I was born in Madrid, Spain – the greatest country on Earth. I wanted to be a journalist since I was little. Journalism in general I think is the greatest profession ever. I do radio, I do TV, I produce and then I anchor the news. I have amazing persons on the news.

I worked up to almost my 9th month of pregnancy and then I decided that I was going to take a break and it was great. I remember spending the next 10 months with my baby. I remember watching him grow. But then of course, reality happened and eventually, it was time to find a solution for our family. So we decided that the best thing for us right now was me going back to work and then my husband stays home with the baby.

You know, it’s been an adjustment for my husband being a stay at home dad. We’re kind of dividing – we’re both having an active role in Diego’s life. I’m always asking my husband how’s he doing and in the first weeks he’d call me and be like “Everything is the same – there’s no change, it’s the same routine”. But he’s just an awesome dad.

I mean, I’m still trying to find the perfect balance. We’re working a system that’s working for us. I don’t know what the future will bring, but right now, it’s working. I come home to a beautiful baby and during the day I also do what I love. I always find strength in my faith and I think that’s what keeps me going and going. I trust my kid in God’s hands and he knows I can do all these things if I have those beliefs. I think it would be very hard to exceed, to be successful in anything else.

I am a journalist, a mother, I always wear heals. My name is Irene Caso and I’m a Mormon.
