Jay-Jay Feeney is the undisputed queen of music radio in New Zealand. She started the radio station The Edge and grew it into the massive brand that it remains to this day. She currently hosts one of New Zealand’s most listened to afternoon shows on the station, More FM.

She is the author of two books and has won too many NZ radio awards to count!.

This is a strange episode...jeust because of the intensely personal nature of it. I can’t imagine I will ever record a podcast that is as raw, emotive, and vulnerable as this one is.

The reason being- the personal relationship.

JJ and I got married in 2004. We separated about 5 years ago but remain very, very close.

Because of this relationship, we know everything about one another and had the ability to touch upon some very serious stuff. Because of that a trigger warning is needed- this podcast episode discusses family violence and sexual abuse, infertility and IVF, depression, and suicide.

If you listen to this and need some professional help in New Zealand, you can call or text 1737 free of charge to talk to a trained counsellor.

This podcast also includes a lot of light moments too as we zoom in on some of JJs many career highlights.

Adding to their popular Protein range, they have just launched a new range of breakfasts which are incredible: strawberry banana, coconut, vanilla, mixed berry, Apple and cinnamon and chocolate. These are super simple and super healthy. They are filling. And did I mention they taste amazing?

You can pour it into a bowl or just pour the water straight into the bag and consume it that way: .
