How to build confidence + believe in yourself again (even when you’re knackered)
Über diese Folge
Motherhood didn’t make you lose your confidence - it buried it under the mental load. In this powerful episode, I’m sharing the five exact steps I used to rebuild my confidence from the ground up after becoming a mum. These are simple, practical tools you can use even if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and only have seven minutes a day to yourself. Because here’s the truth no one tells us: becoming a mother lowers your confidence and self-belief for up to three years. And yet… we’re never prepared for it. We’re never told why it happens. We’re certainly never shown how to rebuild ourselves from the inside out. In this conversation, you’ll learn: The surprising reason confidence drops in motherhood How to quiet your inner critic The truth about self-worth How to stop comparison spirals Why celebrating tiny wins matters more than big achievements Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable You can listen to the Dr Nicole Le Pera episode that Zoe references here: How to heal yourself with Dr Nicole Le Pera Remember to subscribe to Motherkind — it helps more mothers find the show and keeps our community growing.
