Kanoa Lloyd Calm
For The Project presenter Kanoa Lloyd, someone who describes herself as being “a little Grinchy”, the holiday period is less about Christmas and more about the break that comes with it. “Throughout my 20s, I worked evenings and weekends, so it feels pretty magical to be a grown-up and have a Monday to Friday job, with a Christmas holiday at the end of the year,” she laughs. The past 12 months have been some of the busiest in Kanoa’s life – her nightly work on TV3’s The Project, hosting her new show Moving Out with Kanoa, raising money for the Graeme Dingle Foundation with a trip to Vietnam. And then there has been her own self-work. “2019 has been a real year of me learning how to talk things through with my husband in a calm, co-operative way,” Kanoa says of her relationship with Mikee Carpinter. “I’m open about that fact that I go to therapy, that I’m working on my wellbeing. If you can get in on the ground floor and start talking clearly about what you need and what your expectations are, it helps with anxiety.” Maintaining clear communication over Christmas can be hard, but Kanoa says she’ll be doing her best to plan ahead and manage expectations. This Christmas-New Year break will see Kanoa and Mikee splitting their time between Central Otago and the Coromandel. That time away, plus her mum’s “magical” mint mayonnaise and endless days at the beach are Kanoa’s key to a good holiday. “I’m grateful for living in a country where the weather’s nice at Christmas. It’s not really a summer holiday if I haven’t had more swims than there are days!”
