PETA AL AKAWI
About this episode

Welcome to 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.

Each episode, I’ll be speaking with a different incredible guest from Childbirth Educators, Parenting Coaches, Infant Sleep Specialists, Weaning Experts, Entrepreneurs and more, and we’ll be discussing all areas of parenting and beyond.

Today’s guest is Nikki Steele Osborne aka @thescottishsoulsister. Nikki is a Life Coach based in Dubai and also a Mum to her gorgeous little boy Archie. Nikki has an incredible online coaching course called Stepping into Parenthood which we talk all about during this episode. Nikki also bravely opens up and speaks so beautifully about her experience with postnatal depression, overwhelm and her own transition into parenthood.
