Short questions with Dana Perino for Lydia Hu

In this week's "Short questions," Dana Perino talks with Lydia Hu of Fox Business Network about parenting, her top bucket list item — and secrets of staying fit amid a busy life.

You've seen us on screen, but have you ever wondered what we're like off-camera? 

For the last few months, I’ve enjoyed checking in with some of your favorite Fox personalities to learn more about who they are behind the scenes. 

What's the one thing Jesse Watters couldn’t live without? What's Bill Hemmer’s favorite Halloween costume? And what's sitting on Greg Gutfeld’s nightstand?

But that's not all! The fun is just getting started.

This week, we're excited to shine the spotlight on Lydia Hu. She joined the FOX Business Network (FBN) in 2021 as a correspondent. Based out of the network’s headquarters in New York, she covers agriculture, energy, real estate and travel. She also has a law degree. 

P.S. We have so much more in store for you. Stay tuned each week for new editions of "Short Questions with Dana Perino" — and if there’s a question you want answers to or a suggestion for the person I should interview next, leave a note in the comments section below.

LH: I cannot think of a better way to have started my professional life than being a lawyer. Among the many lessons I carry with me today, I learned it's important to consider other perspectives. One need not agree, but listening is crucial.  

LH: My paper-and-pen notebook agenda. It’s old school, but it works!

When I first became a mom, I wanted my daughter to have every experience from the start. Baby massage class? Sign us up! Swim class for infants? Definitely! Prayer circle at church? We would never miss it! 

I thought I was expanding my baby’s horizons; what I did not realize is that I was building a new community of support. 

I met fun, interesting, smart people who were also embarking on a parenting journey. These are people I would turn to in moments of need. 

I asked for pediatrician recommendations and advice on how to manage sleep regression. Sometimes, I simply needed someone who understood what it is like to push through a day of work when a teething baby meant you got no sleep the night before. 

My advice is to seek out these groups. Build and nurture the relationships. 

These people will become a new community with whom you will share some of life’s most precious moments and help you get through the more trying ones. 

LH: Budget time to test your child care routine before your first day back at work. For example, start daycare a few days early so you can practice the drop-off and pick-up schedule. 

This will help work out any surprises (like a longer than expected line at drop-off!) before you have the added expectation of being at work on time. 

And maybe you can treat yourself while someone else has the baby! 

Go out to lunch, read a book or just collect your thoughts in the quiet during your final moments of maternity leave. 

LH: Don’t worry about making a mess. A mess can always be cleaned up. Worry about missing the fun.

LH: I dream of stargazing in Montana.

LH: I’m an Orange Theory addict. The older I get, the more I love weight training. 

LH: "Last Boat Out of Shanghai" by Helen Zia. 

LH: Keep working hard and worry less. 

As Dana puts it best: "Everything Will Be Okay."
