    A popular star of Hope 103.2 FM, a Christian radio station based in Sydney’s west has quit.

    Breakfast host Ally Barnes told listeners in an emotional announcement on Tuesday she was hanging up the mic to spend more time with her family.

    Before taking the on-air role, the married mother of two boys became the breakfast show’s first producer in 2016 reported Radio Today.

    ‘I’m finishing up at the end of this week,’ an emotional Barnes announced during the breakfast show on Tuesday.

    ‘I have cried more in the last four weeks than in my entire life put together but I know that this is the right decision,’ she continued.

    ‘Unfortunately my energy for the people who matter most in my life just isn’t there.

    ‘In the afternoons and evenings I am just exhausted.

    ‘After seven years of being part of the Breakfast show, and a 3.50am alarm clock, I’m tuckered out. And my husband and beautiful sons are not getting the best version of me.’

    Barnes said was keen to make lunches for her boys and ‘do school drop offs’ and stay up to 10pm watching TV series with her husband.

    She added: ‘I feel such sadness and grief about leaving. But I have a total sense of peace and conviction that this is the right move for my family.’
