How I Changed Careers in Motherhood (And How You Can Too)
About this episode
What if “manifesting” isn’t about vision boards and wishful thinking… but about brave, uncomfortable action? In this deeply personal solo episode, Zoe shares - for the first time - how she built Motherkind and manifested her dream career alongside early motherhood Not through magic.Not through overnight success.But through clarity, courage and trusting the nudges. Zoe breaks down the three-part framework that changed everything for her: How to get clear on what you actually want (even if all you know is what you don’t want) Why tiny, 1% brave steps build unstoppable momentum The truth about “paralleling” careers and why most transitions aren’t dramatic leaps What it really means to “trust the process” - and how to spot the breadcrumbs She shares the uncomfortable early days: buying a £50 microphone from Currys, consulting with clients to fund the dream, working late nights with a baby waking at 4 am, and the moments of flow that signalled she was on the right path If you’re sitting in a career that feels fine but not fulfilling…If you have an idea you can’t quite shake…If you’re wondering whether it’s too late, too risky, too unrealistic… This episode is your permission slip. Motherhood doesn’t end ambition.It can clarify it. Know what you want.Take one small brave step.Trust what flows.
