Loss, love and surrogacy with Toni Street

This week we talk to Toni Street. Toni is a mum of three, and a certified ray of sunshine! She’s one of New Zealand's most popular television and radio personalities — a journalist, broadcaster, former co-host of top-rating TVNZ current affairs show Seven Sharp, and current breakfast radio host on Coast. Given her sunny disposition and bubbly personality, it would be easy to assume that Toni hasn’t had to deal with a lot of adversity, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We talk to Toni about what it was like to go through the grief of losing three siblings, and her battle with a little known autoimmune disease that reared its head after the birth of her second child. We also delve into the world of surrogacy, as Toni explains what it was like to have her best friend carry her baby.
