One & Done with Rhiannon Downie Hurst

PETA AL AKAWI
About this episode

Welcome to a brand-new series of Friday’s Child – The podcast on a mission to educate, empower and support you on your parenting journey.

I’m your host, Peta, a British expat who’s been living in Dubai for 10 years and first time Mama to my gorgeous little girl Mavia.

I have some incredible guests for you this season including Heidi Murkoff the author of the iconic, best-selling book ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’, YouTube star Nurse Zabe, along with amazing childbirth educators, parenting coaches and real Mums keeping it very real!

My guest today is a powerhouse of a woman and someone I’ve already had the pleasure of interviewing a couple of years ago for Series 1of the podcast.

Rhiannon Downie-Hurst, aka Rio, is an award winning, multifaceted entrepreneur. She is the Founder of Bride Club ME, Home Club ME and is a Business Consultant & Mentor here in Dubai.

Today Rio and I chatted all about the topic of ‘one & done’. And if you haven’t heard this expression before, you’re in for a treat!
