“So there’s probably a period where you kind of pull back, and then[you think]basically, no: I’m confident about that, and I’m 50 and I’ve done a lot of different things that make me need to get to this stage.”
She recalled an incident where she experienced sexism in the workplace and said, “This boss told me I wouldn’t be on his channel after I turned 28.
“There’s the hypocrisy – sometimes I see a dude and I think, The female equivalent of you doesn’t exist on TV… There isn’t a woman who looks this sloppy… and in a way I don’t think there should be because with TV I always feel like I’m going into someone’s living room.
‘I want to respect that and do my best for it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have those standards.’
Gabby added that she felt like she had more female fans now, saying, “I feel like I’m talking to more women now… Because (I’ve) been doing sports for so long, especially when I’m 30 , I think women were probably a bit suspicious of me because I always hung out with men.
“I can now have conversations that women listen to… it’s women who come up to me — or men who talk to me and say, ‘My wife loves your podcast’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s so nice!”‘
She also became candid about her relationship with booze, saying, “When I was thirty, I realized that (drinking) could become a habit that’s much harder to break, and that’s called alcoholism…and I’ve had that experience in my family had. suppose I was more aware of how slippery that slope could be.
“If you have friends who respect alcohol, you can have a nice drink together and have a good evening – it’s a great thing to do.”

Gabby discussed her reaction to her BBC colleague Naga Munchetty’s diagnosis of adenomyosis: ‘Every time I hear her talk to someone about (adenomyosis), I just feel sick. It’s just so awful.
“I was really lucky to have very normal, light periods. I was unlucky enough to have unexplained infertility, but I was really lucky during that period of my life, because when you listen to the debilitating symptoms women have had to deal with — and not get a diagnosis…”
Adenomyosis is a condition in which the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) lodges in the muscle wall of the uterus.
The BBC breakfast presenter revealed two months ago that she had to take painkillers every day as a result of the condition, which reportedly affects around 10 per cent of women in the UK.
In fact, she had such a flare-up that her husband called an ambulance for her.
Common symptoms include heavy, painful, or irregular periods, premenstrual pelvic pain, and feelings of heaviness or discomfort in the pelvis.
Less frequent symptoms may also involve pain during intercourse, and gynecologist Liza Ball noted that this pain “can last for hours or even a day” after sex.
Other symptoms may include pain related to bowel movements.
