Kia ora and welcome to Parents We've Met, where we wade into the magical, messy depths of parenthood to uncover the moments and learnings that keep us coming back for more.
We're your hosts, Jenny Hale and Dayna Galloway, and together we share candid and inspiring conversations with well-known New Zealand parents - and experts - who, just like us, are navigating the wild and wonderful terrain that is parenthood.
With Jenny 's 'Parent Coach' hat on, we delve into a wide range of topics, from neurodiversity, to co-parenting, tricky teen behaviours, sleep struggles, grief, loss, big emotions and SO much more.
While most of these chats are light-hearted, at times we also dip our toes into some big topics of conversation that are aimed at a parent audience – and not suitable for little ears!

Jo Robertson: Sex and relationships in tricky seasons (including parenthood!)
If you're in the thick of parenting and want to protect and strengthen your relationships – and improve intimacy with your partner – this one is for you! Sex and relationship therapist Jo Robertson (recently an expert on Married at First Sight New Zealand) is back on the Parents We’ve Met couch to answer some questions from our podcast community (and a few from us) around sex, communication, blended families and making relationships the best they can be.
Join us as we dig into topics including:
How to navigate differences in libido in a committed relationship, especially after kids.
Love languages – are they useful when it comes to improving intimacy?
The Marriage WOF—some helpful questions to help you check in with your partner and yourself.
What to consider when blending families or introducing new partners after a separation.
Protecting relationships from betrayal and recognising areas of vulnerability.
The impact of betrayals – big and small - on relationships and how to approach big conversations in a constructive way.
Since we last spoke to Jo in 2023, (you can listen to her other episode here), as well as her TV season on MAFS she’s travelled to Sri Lanka and French Polynesia with her husband and three young boys, campaigned for better online filtering via Makes Sense and launched three new online courses: Better sex for couples, Postpartum sex and Painful sex. We love this wāhine toa!
