The Conversations Jenny-May Clarkson Couldn’t Have on TV

Many of you may know Jenny-May Clarkson as the lady from Breakfast TV -but that chapter of her life is just a very small part of the Jenny May story.After nearly 20 years in media and six years hosting Breakfast, Jenny-May stepped away at the end of 2025 without a clear next move, entering a terrifying new season of her life:  uncertainty and reinvention. This korero is 2 and a half hours long…but just scrapes the surface of the incredible life (so far) of an inspirational Kiwi. We talk about: + Why she walked away from a 20-year TV career. And the impact today from losing a sibling when she was 6 years old.+ Why she loved playing with Dame Noelene Taurua but HATED her as a coach, And why she hates her Commonwealth Games silver medal (spoiler: its because it’s not a gold one)+ The intensely personal decision to get her tā moko (kōwhai) and why doing full immersion te reo Māori was the hardest thing she’s ever done+ What success means to her now and so much more.I would love to say this is Jenny-May like you’ve never heard her before, but the truth is Jenny-May is always just Jenny-May- unapologetically herself- unfiltered, honest, warts n all. I already loved J-May before this…. but this definitely gave me an even deeper appreciation for her.***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.If I could ask you to do one big favour — for me and for yourself — it would be to consider getting KiwiSaver advice from Generate, like I did.The decisions you make with your KiwiSaver now could have a big impact on how much you have to live on in retirement.
