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.

  1. Solo ep - Ambitious mum guilt and why 70% is enough

    Solo ep - Ambitious mum guilt and why 70% is enough

    Do you ever feel like you’re giving 70% everywhere… and 100% nowhere?   When I’m at work, I’m thinking about the kids. When I’m with the kids, I’m thinking about work. When I finally sit down at night, I’m thinking about what I didn’t do.   It’s this constant, quiet guilt of: “I could have done more.”   This week’s solo episode is about the myth of giving everything 100%.   Because maybe the goal isn’t perfection.   Maybe it’s being intentional in the season you’re in.   If you’ve ever felt split in a thousand directions… you’re not alone.   Instagram Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.

    Dr Nicole Highet on mental health challenges after birth – Part 2

    After talking about mental health before birth, we’re now unpacking what can happen after the baby arrives.   Postnatal depression. Postnatal anxiety. Rage. Intrusive thoughts. Feeling disconnected. Feeling like you should be happier.   In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nicole to talk honestly about:   • Why postnatal depression doesn’t always look like sadness • The anxiety no one prepares you for • When baby blues cross into something more • And where to seek support   Motherhood can be beautiful…and brutally overwhelming.   If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I not coping the way I thought I would?”   This conversation is for you 🤍   A big thank you to our episode sponsors Tommee Tippee.   Find Tommee Tippee at: Instagram @tommeetippeeaustralia https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-au/   Find Cope at: Instagram @cope.org.au https://www.cope.org.au/ Ready to Cope guide https://www.cope.org.au/ready-to-cope Self-checks https://www.cope.org.au/depression-anxiety-and-stress-self-checks   Find Parenthood at: Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.

    Tayla Broad on life after motherhood; valuing our bodies, privacy and village

    This week I sit down with Tayla Broad to chat all things life after motherhood. We delve into body dysmorphia, how we can teach our children to treasure their bodies and value. We discuss why Tayla feels it’s so important to maintain privacy when it comes to sharing her daughter online, what building a new village can look like, feeling touched out and so much more.

    Solo ep - The fight about the container

    This episode is all about the fight my husband and I had over a container, during the highest pressure cooker time of the day – dinner time.   But we all know it’s never just about the container.   I hope that this episode makes you feel a little less alone in the chaotic randomness that is life with kids.   Instagram Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.

    Dr Nicole Highet on mental health challenges from conception to pregnancy – Part 1

    Before the baby arrives… there’s often a whole invisible chapter no one talks about.   In this episode, I sit down with a psychologist to unpack the mental health challenges that can show up before birth — infertility, prenatal anxiety, depression during pregnancy… and the quiet shame that can sit alongside it all.   Because you can be deeply grateful… and deeply struggling.   We talk about: • The emotional toll of trying to conceive • Anxiety that doesn’t magically disappear once you’re pregnant • Why prenatal depression is more common than we realise • How to get support early (without feeling dramatic)   If this season of life felt heavier than it “should have”, this conversation is for you 🤍   You are not failing. You are human.   A big thank you to our episode sponsors Tommee Tippee.   Find Tommee Tippee at: Instagram @tommeetippeeaustralia https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-au/   Find Cope at: Instagram @cope.org.au https://www.cope.org.au/ Ready to Cope guide https://www.cope.org.au/ready-to-cope Self-checks https://www.cope.org.au/depression-anxiety-and-stress-self-checks     Find Parenthood at: Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.

    In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all things intimacy and sex.   We asked you how often you’re having sex, when you’re having it and we’re ready to share.   We chat, bedtime routine sex handbrakes, feeling touched out, erotic novels, guilt around lack of sex and getting our heads in the clouds.   If you’ve ever wondered about other people’s sex lives, this one is for you.  A big thank you to our episode sponsors Tommee Tippee and our charity partner The Nappy Collective.

    Solo ep - School mums and my insecurities

    At a recent school event, I felt like – was I too much?   Too high energy, too loud, too bubbly. Should I have been more reserved? Would I polarise people being too 'Leonie'?   In this episode, I delve into my social insecurities and whether what people think of us is really any of our business.   Instagram Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.

    Giving birth to twins and then getting back to training for the Olympics. It’s not something you see everyday, but Morgan Mitchell is living proof that goals are to be chased. In this chat with Australia’s very own Olympic sprinter Morgan Mitchell (and my ultimate girl crush) we discuss everything from how we can resilience to our children.
