Want to know how celebrities really spend their days? Yep, us too. In Mamamia’s A Day in the Life series , fascinating people share everything from what they eat for breakfast to their pre-bedtime rituals.

This week, we find out what life is like for television presenter, radio host and mum, Erin Molan.

It'll come as no surprise to hear that Erin Molan's typical weekday is pretty chock-a-block.

The radio host, television presenter and journalist lives in Sydney with her four-year-old daughter, Eliza. And because of her breakfast radio gig, she begins her day while most of us are still asleep.

Molan's alarm goes off at 4.40am, right before the babysitter arrives at 5am.

"It's a very quick shower and out [the door]," Molan toldMamamia.

"I give my daughter a quick cuddle and a kiss - but she normally pushes me away."

Molan arrives at work ahead of recording her radio show,Hughesy, Ed & Erin, between 5.20 and 5.30am.

She'll have her usual breakfast - a low carb egg white wrap with extra poached eggs, spinach and tomato, with a green juice - before she goes on air.

"[I'll have] about three coffees a morning," Molan said. "Unless Hughesy is feeling particularly needy, in which case, we'll have six."

"... which doesn't bode well for my attempt at a daily nap," she added.

Because her mornings start so early, Molan's clothes, hair and makeup depend entirely on how much energy she has on any given day.

You'll either find the 40-year-old wearing "ugly" track pants, a big jumper and UGG boots behind the mic, or she'll be in a dress with her hair and makeup done.

"There's really no in between. The first option is far more frequent."

After finishing up the radio show at 9am, it's straight into meetings or a podcast record.

Then Molan heads to Pilates for a morning session (which she does twice a week), or into the Sky News studio to pre-record an interview with an international guest ahead of her Sunday night show,Erin.
