    Motherkind

    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.

    Do you find yourself apologising for leaving work on time? For missing the team drinks? For not always being available?

    You don’t need to make up for being a mother. And yet, so many of us feel we have to hide our family commitments or work twice as hard to prove we’re still capable.

    In this special compilation episode, Zoe brings together three powerful conversations with Vanessa Kingori, the first woman to lead British Vogue's publishing business; Emma Grede, co-founder of Good American; and Michelle Kennedy, founder of Peanut.

    Each shares a different perspective on motherhood and ambition, from challenging workplace double standards to protecting family time and finding the confidence to say what you need.

    If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting a fulfilling career, or worried that setting a boundary might make you seem less committed, this episode is for you.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • Why Vanessa chose to make her pregnancy more visible after being advised to keep motherhood quiet

    • The double standards mothers and fathers face at work

    • How Emma protects her time and models boundaries for her team

    • Letting go of the pressure to balance everything perfectly

    • Why Michelle struggled to protect bedtime, even as a founder

    • Recognising what your working environment is doing to your confidence

    You’ll leave with one question to reflect on: what is one thing you’re going to do differently?

    If this episode helps you feel more confident and less apologetic, please share it with a mother who needs to hear it.

    In this week’s Motherkind Moment, Zoe is joined by life coach Dior Bediako, founder of Pepper Your Talk, whose clients include Rochelle Humes and author Elizabeth Uviebinené. Dior shares a simple way to rethink how you speak to yourself: would you say those same words to your best friend?

    • Why being hard on yourself doesn’t help you move forward

    Everyone expects your baby to change. But who prepares you for how much you’ll change too?

    If you’ve ever wondered “Where have I gone?” or felt that you should have figured motherhood out by now, this solo episode is for you.

    Zoe shares ten things everyone needs to know about matrescence: the physical, emotional and psychological transformation of becoming a mother. She explores why your identity, relationships, priorities and ambitions can feel different, and why adjusting to motherhood can take far longer than we’re led to believe.

    Through her jigsaw puzzle analogy, Zoe explains what it means to rebuild your life with children in the picture. She also reflects on the loneliness of feeling different inside while everyone around you still expects the old version of you.

    Whether you’re a new mum or years into motherhood, this episode offers language for what you’re experiencing and a little more compassion for the woman you’re becoming.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What matrescence means and why understanding it can change how you see yourself

    • How Zoe describes the brain and hormonal changes that accompany motherhood

    • Why rebuilding your identity takes time

    • How you can adore your children and still miss parts of your old life

    • Why motherhood can feel lonely, even when you’re rarely alone

    • How self-compassion, community and space to change can support you

    • Why asking “Who am I becoming?” can help you move forward

    The school dates, the appointments, the birthday presents, the never-ending list running through your head—even when you’re supposed to be resting.

    Do you say yes when you mean no, then feel guilty for wishing you’d put yourself first?

    In this heartfelt conversation, author Vex King joins Zoe to explore people-pleasing, self-worth and why caring for everyone else can leave us disconnected from ourselves.

    Vex shares the extraordinary story of his mum, who raised three children alone after losing his dad, navigating poverty, homelessness and racism. He reflects on what her love and resilience taught him, and why, as a child, his greatest wish was simply for her to be happy.

    Drawing on his new book, You Can’t Please Everyone, Vex explains the difference between making sacrifices for the people we love and losing ourselves in the process. He and Zoe explore how to recognise people-pleasing, reconnect with what matters to you and start setting boundaries, even when your voice shakes.

    If you’re exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy, this conversation is a reminder that your needs, dreams and happiness deserve space too.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How to recognise when caring for others becomes self-abandonment

    • Why resentment can be a sign you’ve said yes when you wanted to say no

    • A simple exercise to help you identify your values and trust your decisions

    • How to start setting boundaries without feeling overwhelmed

    • What we model to our children when we make room for our own needs

    • Why you can be a kind person and still say no

    Why does so much of the pressure around fertility fall on women?

    In this Moment, Dr Helen O’Neill joins Zoe to explore the often-overlooked role of sperm health and why trying for a baby needs to be a shared responsibility.

    💡 In this Moment, you’ll learn:

    • Why sperm health deserves more attention in fertility conversations

    What happens when your life looks perfect from the outside, but deep down you know something isn’t right?

    Mimi Ikonn had built a successful business, a marriage and a family, but after becoming a mother, something began to shift. She felt increasingly alone in motherhood and slowly started to disconnect from her relationship without fully understanding what was happening.

    In this deeply honest conversation, Mimi shares what ultimately led her to leave her 13-year marriage, why becoming a mother changed the dynamic of her relationship and the difficult decision to choose herself while raising a young daughter.

    Mimi and Zoe also explore ambition after motherhood, mum guilt, asking for help, perfectionism, and why motherhood can force us to rethink who we are, what we value, and what success actually means.

    Do you ever sit down to play with your child and, five minutes later, find yourself thinking about the washing, dinner or everything else you could be doing? Zoe does too.

    In this special episode, created in partnership with Melissa & Doug, Zoe talks to Dr Martha Deiros Collado, a clinical psychologist specialising in parenting and child development, about why play can feel difficult for adults, especially when we’re used to being busy and productive. Dr Martha explains how play helps children process their day and connect with us, and shares simple ways to make it more enjoyable for parents too.

    You don’t need to invent elaborate games or become your child’s entertainer. Sometimes five or ten minutes together, following their lead, is enough. And if you’re hoping to encourage independent play, Dr Martha has a wonderfully simple idea you can try before they even come home from school.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why finding play boring sometimes is completely normal

    • How to choose activities you enjoy as well as your child

    • What children may be telling us when they ask us to play

    • A simple way to invite more independent play

    • Why toys that leave room for imagination can be so engaging

    Have you ever gone back to a fitness class after having a baby and wondered why nobody asked how your body was doing?

    In this Motherkind Moment, women’s fitness coach Elizabeth Davies talks to Zoe about pelvic floor symptoms that can be hard to bring up at the gym, and the support many mothers don’t know is available. Elizabeth explains what a pelvic health physiotherapist can help with, including an individual assessment and a plan for returning to the movement you enjoy.

    They also discuss why being “18 months postpartum” doesn’t automatically mean your body is ready to pick up where it left off. Whether you want to run, skip or lift weights again, Elizabeth’s advice is to find a starting point that suits you and build gradually. There’s no deadline to get back to it.

    💡 In this Moment, you’ll learn:

    • What a pelvic health physiotherapist does and how you may be able to access one

    • Why it’s okay to speak up if you experience leaking or something feels wrong during exercise

    • How to approach running and other high-impact activities gradually

    How to Change Career When You Have No Idea Where to Start Sep 24, 2026

    What if the career you worked so hard to build no longer fits the woman you’ve become?

    If motherhood has changed what you want from work, you may know something needs to shift without knowing what to do next. Perhaps you’re worried about money, childcare, or whether the skills you’ve spent years building will transfer to something new. I’ve been there. I left corporate marketing and built Motherkind gradually, alongside the responsibilities of family life.

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing MOVE, the career change framework I’ve used with mothers in my coaching practice. We’ll start by defining what success means to you now, including your income, energy and family life. Then we’ll look at your skills and the interests that could point towards your next move.

    I’ll also show you how to test an idea before committing to it, and how to make a practical 30-, 60-, and 90-day plan. You don’t need to have your whole future worked out today. You need a way to explore what’s possible and take the next step.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Map: Define success for this season of your life and picture your ideal working day.

    • Options: Recognise your technical and transferable skills, then find your “red thread”.

    • Validate: Test a career or business idea through conversations and small experiments.

    • Execute: Work out your financial needs and build a 30-, 60-, and 90-day plan.

    • Why you can build a new path alongside your current work.
