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.

28 dic 202353 min***Trigger Warning*** We discuss graphic intrusive thoughts, so if hearing that experience might be more harmful than connecting for you, please skip that bit.

Donna talks about: Forgiving herself for how she was in the early years of her children's lives. How much she struggled in those early days, including experiencing some pretty graphic intrusive thoughts How allowing herself to grieve unlocked so much healing and forgiveness I'm so excited for you to hear this one.

MOMENT | How to unleash your joy this Christmas with Zoe Blaskey (Re-release)
25 dic 202316 minWelcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This is the last of my Christmas episodes, and ironically, it's being released on Christmas day! Today I want to help you find your joy at Christmas and discuss why we don’t always enjoy what we have created for others and how to change that this year. The main theme over the four workshops is that we too deserve to enjoy the magic at Christmas that we are so busy creating for everyone else in our lives and how to do that. I cover 3 reasons why it’s hard to find the joy at Christmas and 3 ways to support you so you can. My question for you is: Can you allow yourself to feel the joy this Christmas? You deserve that and to enjoy Christmas just as much as everyone you are creating the magic for. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a very happy Christmas. Learn more about your ad choices.

MOMENT | Happy families? How to have a drama-free family Christmas with Zoe Blaskey (Re-release)
18 dic 202314 minWelcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. Another episode with me this week. It is the next instalment in my Christmas mini-series to help you have the happiest Christmas ever. This week we are talking about family dynamics. Is it possible to have a drama-free Christmas? Family dynamics can get so tricky at Christmas. Your family know how to push your buttons because they put them there. If you find it triggering and hard, perhaps it is because of what has been set up by our caregivers and the people around us in our early years. Throw in alcohol and high expectations, it isn’t surprising we get triggered over Christmas. I really want to help you today with some tips and ideas for how you might have a more peaceful family dynamic, how not to get triggered and how to enjoy time together. I hope you find this Moment really helpful. Let me know how you can get on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Re-Release | Matrescence: The word we all need Lucy Jones
14 dic 202339 minWelcome to this week’s Motherkind episode, the show that is going to help you navigate the massive challenges of life as a modern mother with more self-awareness, clarity and Confidence. In December, we walk our talk, and I take some time off recording to be with my family and recharge before next year. So I've re-released for you the most popular episodes of the past six months. These are the episodes you loved to share with friends, you emailed about and deemed to be the most helpful. This week’s episode is with Lucy Jones. She is an investigative journalist, and award-winning author and has just written a new book called Matrescence. Matresence is one of my favourite words and subjects ever. It describes the process of becoming a mother - the confusing discombobulating cocktail of emotions that happens when we transition from woman to mother. All the physical, emotional and spiritual changes. A bit like the transition from teenager to adult. Listen to hear about: What matresence means and its anthropological roots Our position as a mother in today’s society and how it’s geared to be against mothers Why we need more support in society and Lucy’s thoughts on how we can receive that If only all mothers knew this word, I think we would have found it so much easier to be kind to ourselves, knowing it’s meant to be a bumpy journey.

MOMENT | THIS needs to happen to nurture equal parenting in our society with Paul Morgan Bentley
20 nov 20234 minWelcome back to Moment. Your moment on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This week I am speaking with Paul Morgan-Bentley, author of “The Equal Parent” and dad to his three-year-old son. He welcomed into the world via surrogacy with his husband, Robin. As a gay dad, Paul found himself in a unique position as he took on primary caregiving and felt sick of all the praise he received for doing the basics. He saw how mothers were carrying the labour of childcare and asked why parental care is so unequal in households across the country. Is it biology? Gendered stereotypes? or something else? We chat about what needs to change to encourage dads to take on more care responsibilities and encourage equal parenting. I hope you enjoy this moment episode.
