NBC Sports Host Rebecca Lowe in Two-Piece Workout Gear Has "Moment of Peace"

She balances work, family, and self-care with grace and determination.

Rebecca Lowe, the accomplished NBC Sports host, masterfully balances the demands of her high-profile career and family life. Traveling cross-country each week from California to Connecticut, Lowe prioritizes self-care to maintain her well-being and stay grounded amid her hectic schedule. Her morning routine, which includes moments of quiet reflection with a cup of coffee, helps her reset before diving into her busy day. Despite the challenges of juggling work and home, she makes the most of her time with her family, especially cherishing moments with her son. Lowe's commitment to both her career and her loved ones is an inspiring example of how to successfully navigate the complexities of work-life balance.

She Takes Time For Herself

Before Lowe starts her busy day, she takes a moment to relax. In an Instagram story titled "Daily morning moment of peace," she shows herself soaking in the view with a cup of coffee. According to Southern New Hampshire University, prioritizing self-care is vital for our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. "By taking some time out to engage in this practice, you may relieve the pressures of everyday life and reset yourself to get back to a healthy point where you can be more productive again."

She Doesn't Mind Her Commute Across County

Lowe lives in California but commutes to Connecticut every week for work and does so to keep her family in one place. "[My family] used to live in Connecticut, but then my husband Paul (Paul Buckle, former professional soccer player, and manager) was offered the head coach position at Sacramento Republic FC, so we moved across the country," she told Style Magazine. She added, "We love [living in this area] and are very settled, especially since we had our son, Teddy, here."

She Gives Back

Lowe values empowering young women who want to enter the world of sports journalism and gives back by serving as a mentor. She told Style Magazine, "I try to support women, as I didn't get a lot of encouragement on the way up; in fact, quite the opposite. I've spent time with California Storm (our region's most local professional female soccer team), and I mentor three female college graduates who want to do what I do. I really want to help women tread this path."

She Knows Her Limits

Lowe has been doing her cross country commute for seven years now and has her routine down, but there was a time she tried to take on too much. "The biggest challenge for me is trying not to be supermom on Monday morning," she said in the interview with Style Magazine. "I used to book lots of activities to do with Teddy once I was back home, but I've learned he just wants to be with me, even if it's simply taking the dog for a walk. From Monday to Thursday, it's about making memories with him before going back to work."

She Makes the Most of Her Downtime

Every Thursday to Sunday, Lowe works away from her family, and while she struggles with the separation, she has learned to make the most of her time. "At the end of the day, I return to my hotel where I can, and must, relax for the next day," she told Style Magazine. "It's difficult being away from my family but having that separation also means I [can] focus on me—go to the gym, get room service, watch Netflix, and prep for Sunday when it starts all over again!"
