Lifting the lid on grief with Kaiora Tipene
Co-star of the popular reality TV show, The Casketeers and māmā to SIX, Kaiora Tipene joins Jenny and Dayna for a beautiful kōrero on motherhood, whānau and a topic that’s a little bit taboo in some families: death. Through her humble stories and reflections, Kaiora shares about her own upbringing, how she honours her Māori heritage in her work and whānau, and the value she places on ‘I love yous’ and a fearless expression of feelings. Jenny and Dayna take the opportunity to seek Kaiora’s advice on grieving well, supporting our kids when facing the death of someone they love, and giving ourselves the grace to ‘re-do’ the moments of parenting that we might not get right the first time around. Thanks Kaiora for bringing your gorgeous, gentle self (and your youngest pēpē) to this kōrero!
