The final guest for Season 1 is one of our very own: the much-loved media personality, Parenting Place pou tangata and father-to-three Pio Terei. Pull out the tissues as this kōrero is full of tears – the happy ones and the sad ones!
Pio shares openly about his journey with grief after the loss of his youngest son Teina and offers some self-care advice for others living with grief. He also chats with Jenny and Dayna about his simple but beautiful upbringing, his love of creating connections through kai (food) and kōrero (conversation), and the importance of instilling in our kids’ a deep sense of belonging and unconditional love.
Buckle up for a chat peppered with parenting tips and wisdom, and of course, Pio’s signature wit.
