Parenthood

by Leonie Akhidenor

Our lives change when we become parents. Of course, we experience the joys and challenges of parenting, but we go through profound changes on a personal level too. Parenthood is all about exploring these personal challenges we feel as adults. Hosted by relationship coach, businesswoman and mother of two, Leonie Akhidenor, Parenthood focuses on the heart-warming, exhausting, frustrating and exhilarating lives of parents. You'll hear from a wide range of people as we explore parenting ups and downs. We have episodes with familiar voices you might know, parenting professionals, our 'Real Talk' weekly chats with Leonie's bestie Liv and even solo episodes where Leonie breaks down what is happening in her world right now.  It’s like group therapy. Only juicier. Join our community on instagram: @parenthoodpod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
