Motherkind

by 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.

Love, love, love this podcast! Zoe and her podcasts are so relatable and provide such attainable insight to feel calmer and happier in motherhood.

This podcast is such a wonderful support in my elusive quest to thrive and not just survive motherhood. Zoe and her interviewees are the wise friends we all need in our ‘village’ Thank you for all your work!

lisabeequinn · Jan 2024

I absolutely LOVE the topics Motherkind brings into discussion, and all of the wisdom and support I have gained from listening to this amazing podcast. I found Motherkind at 3 months postpartum desperate for community and a fresh perspective on motherhood. A lot of the advice I was hearing didn’t feel right to me. This podcast has held me and empowered me to be my best self and trust my gut and listen to my baby above all else. Thank you Zoe!
