Parenthood
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, successful businesswoman and mother of two, Leonie Akhidenor, Parenthood focuses on the heart-warming, exhausting, frustrating and exhilarating lives of parents.
Each week Leonie meets with parents, parenting professionals or best friend Liv, to discuss the greatest challenges facing parents today. It’s like group therapy. Only juicier.
