Wilhelmina Shrimpton
Today FM host Wilhelmina Shrimpton always look forward to her summer break but for the first time in a long time she wasn’t counting the days until she was done with work for the year.
“Obviously I’m really excited for my holiday, but I love my job so much that even if there weren’t holidays I’d be okay with it,” the 32year-old enthuses. “I enjoy going to work every day. I spring out of bed. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a while.
Last year was a banner year for Wilhelmina and her husband Mike Sanders, 34, who both started new jobs, as well as moving to a new house. After taking on fresh challenges at work, including producing her own documentary series for Today FM, she has learned to give herself the praise she deserves.
“I found out that I’m way more capable than I believed I was. I’ve surprised myself. I’m like, ‘Wow, I’m pretty good at this,’” she says with a laugh. “Last year was a lesson to not be so harsh on myself. We’re all our own harshest critics, but it’s better to celebrate your wins.”
In her twenties, Wilhelmina would fill her holidays with plans to hit all the best summer festivals. But in recent times, she has started to appreciate the joy of going with the flow and bouncing between her friends’ baches.
“I remember a couple of years ago, thinking, ‘Oh, no, I’ve got no plans. I’m going to be so bored.’ But there’s always someone having a barbecue or going to the beach.
