One of New Zealand’s most-loved TV presenters (former host of The Project), Kanoa Lloyd joins Jenny and Dayna for a thoughtful kōrero on motherhood, her career and the joys of raising a child with all their glorious quirks and qualities. With Jenny’s expert guidance, we address those big old ‘red-brain’ feelings (namely anger!) that can surface when you become a parent, and the challenge of having a flexible mindset to roll through the waves and changes that inevitably come with this parenting gig. Kanoa inspires us with tales from her own childhood, and how intentionally she seeks to grow confidence and a great work ethic in her daughter by involving her in everyday tasks (even grating cheese!) that affirm her as capable.
