Motherkind
Zoe Blaskey
Motherkind is the podcast for women who know that motherhood changes everything — and want to grow forward, not “bounce back”. Hosted by Zoe Blaskey, Motherkind explores the profound personal, emotional and professional transformation that happens when you become a mother. This is a space for women navigating the wild, identity-shifting years of motherhood who want to reclaim confidence, redefine ambition, and build a life that works for who they are now. Each week, Zoe sits down with world-leading experts, thought leaders, psychologists, authors and well-known figures to unpack the real experiences of modern motherhood — from matrescence and identity loss to confidence, boundaries, work, relationships and self-worth. Expect honest conversations, evidence-based insight and practical tools that help you move through this season with clarity and strength. Motherkind is not about doing more, fixing yourself, or returning to who you were before children. It’s about becoming who you are now — with intention, compassion and growth. If you’re a mother who wants to feel more like herself again — confident, grounded and excited about what’s next — this is your place. Motherkind: for the woman behind the mother.

MOMENT | Why journalling is vital for every mother and how to do it with Cathy Rentzenbrink
17 juil. 20237 minWelcome to this week's moment episode of the Motherkind podcast. I am so happy you are here. Thank you for pressing play and listening. This week features a clip from my episode with Cathy Rentzenbrink, who is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Last Act of Love. She also has a new book out called Write It All Down: How to Put Your Life on the Page. Cathy is so poignant in how she reflects on her journey as a mother. Yes, this episode is about writing and journaling and its profound power to support us as we wind through this path of motherhood, but it is mostly about self-compassion. I hope you listen to it and it helps you remember to connect to that kinder voice within you. The part of you that knows you are ok, it’s ok, and it’s all going to be ok. --- As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there @Zoeblaskey Learn more about your ad choices.
