  • UPDATED WEEKLY

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.

    Solo ep - Anxiety, rising petrol prices, flights cancelled, school holidays and a full moon

    This week I'm bringing you my real-time thoughts on my realities when it relatees to the global climate. I want to acknowledge anyone directly impacted by the war and my thoughts go out to you. On the home front, I'm bringing you some intel on my anxiety peaking, navigating rising prices, the impact on the construction industry, Qatar airlines cancelling flights, the mental load of school holidays and how I try to stay above water when our external environment can feel a little heavy.

    Tully Smyth on pregnant at 38, 10 years single, egg freezing, love & loss

    This week I chat to Tully Smyth, all about being pregnant at 38.   We talk all things, being a single female in your 30s, the society pressure and mixed emotions that can bring. The day Tully found out she was pregnant and her announcement to her partner. Waves of grief returning once pregnant after the loss of Tully’s mum, parenting expectations, how we can keep our memories of loved ones alive and so much more.   A big thank you to our episode sponsors Lacevo and Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense.

    Solo ep - How we manage work travel & resentment

    This week’s solo ep is about arguing with your parter when you feel unseen. You know that feeling when your partner walks back in from a work trip and says:   “Missed you guys! So nice to be home.”   And you’re thinking…   Must be nice.   Because while they were: • At dinners • In meetings • Sleeping uninterrupted   You were: • Managing bedtime solo • Packing school bags • Working • Breaking up sibling wars • And answering 74 “Muuuuum” calls before 8am   And you feel resentful.   Let’s talk about that.   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.

    👄 REAL TALK - The social media ban; protection or control?

    Are you feeling nervy about social media impacts on your children?   In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re reflecting on the social media ban, now that it’s been in play for a few months.   We discuss what the ban is, is it actually working, stories from tweens, what more needs to be done and your thoughts on the ban from Insta polls we put up. We also delve into our own experiences with managing technology with our kids; screen time boundaries, space watches, Road Blocks, parental controls and more.   If you’re keen to hear all about how we as a society are navigating the beast that is technology for our kids, this one is for you.   A big thank you to our episode sponsors Lacevo and Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense.   Lacevo Instagram: @lacevoofficial Website: lacevo.com   Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense Instagram: @babysensorytoddlersenseaunz Website: babysensory.com.au   Instagram Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Episode with Nick & Rozalia Russian https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tY9SNCh2kRFknlXAG77Br?si=3bf8b6b36c004ca3   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.

  5. 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.
