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.

  • Steph & Gian Ottavio on life after The Block, birth trauma, IVF & finding purpose
    Apr 20 2026

    This week I sit down with Steph & Gian, winner of The Block season 9 to chat all things life after the block and their journey in becoming parents.

    We delve into The Block post show blues, losing our sense of purpose and identity, mental health issues when everything is seemingly ok on the outside. We discuss their journey to falling pregnant, endometriosis, genetic testing and a traumatic life threatening birth and so much more.

  • 👄 REAL TALK - Why date night doesn’t fix everything
    Apr 13 2026

    In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all things date night. Is it a thing, does it help reconnect you and what are you all saying about date night; based on a recent poll we released on Instagram.


    We’re talking, date night pressure, martini anxiety, home made pizza nights and is date night really all about the white table cloth. If you’re keen to hear all about how others are date night-ing, this one is for you.

  • Solo ep - Anxiety, rising petrol prices, flights cancelled, school holidays and a full moon
    Apr 8 2026

    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.
