Sandra Kuhn Leaves TV to Become Interior Designer

She says the births of her two children prompted a voluntary exit from presenting, followed by retraining into interior design after a short spell of financial insecurity.

Overview

  • After nearly 20 years in commercial broadcasting, Kuhn voluntarily stepped away from on‑camera work following a short stint at Bild TV that ended in 2021.
  • This week she used an Instagram post titled "Die Wahrheit" to explain that family priorities — the births of daughter Leni and son Carl in 2018 and 2019 — made studio life unsustainable for her.
  • Kuhn wrote that one week after leaving her presenting role she stood in line at the Bundesagentur für Arbeit, losing a steady salary while pursuing a new career vision.
  • She retrained in design, now works as an interior designer, and described the transition as frightening and slow but ultimately more fulfilling than her former TV roles.
  • Her account highlights a common mid‑career tradeoff in broadcast media between public schedules and family life and may encourage others facing similar decisions to consider retraining or career change.
