Parenthood, is a podcast discussing the realities of parenting focusing on taboo and humorous topics. Hosted by Leonie Akhidenor, working mother of 2 toddlers, the goal is to make parents feel less alone in the organised chaos of parenthood. Episodes are released every fortnight; typically one episode a month is Leonie interviewing another parent about their parenting journey, the other episode is Real Talk where Leonie and best friend Liv, share stories of the trials and tribulations of being working mothers, parenting 2 toddlers. Scattered throughout the season are expert guests that are interviewed about their area of parenting expertise.
Although the Parenthood community is predominately female, Leonie's guests range between couples, mothers and fathers with the goal of bringing well rounded conversations to your ears. Each episode is based on a topic, to provide the audience with not only entertainment, but tips and insights to support them through their parenthood journey.
