À propos de ce contenu audio

 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.All rights reserved Parentalité Relations

    • MOMENT | Motherhood doesn’t end ambition – it asks you to define it with The Squiggle Careers Experts

      MOMENT | Motherhood doesn’t end ambition – it asks you to define it with The Squiggle Careers Experts
      Feb 23 2026
      There’s a quiet moment after you become a mum where you realise your life will never look the same again and neither will your career. In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe Blaskey is joined by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis, co-founders of Squiggly Careers, bestselling authors, and two of the UK’s leading voices on modern careers, learning and development. Together, they explore the reality so many mothers quietly hold: how becoming a parent doesn’t switch off your drive – but it does force you to make sense of it. They talk about the idea of a squiggly career, and why motherhood often accelerates that squiggle. There’s a clear before and after when you become a mum, and suddenly your life, priorities and decisions can’t look the same as they did before. But that doesn’t mean you stop wanting to grow, achieve, or do meaningful work. This Moment speaks directly to the judgment many working mothers experience – the head tilt, the comments, the unspoken assumptions about what you should want after having children. Zoe, Helen and Sarah talk honestly about returning to work by choice, feeling judged for it, and learning to make intentional decisions that work for you, even when they look different to everyone else’s. At the heart of the conversation is the power of values, not as a buzzword, but as a practical filter for navigating motherhood, work and identity. When you know what truly drives you, you can make choices with more confidence and less guilt, even in a season that’s noisy, exhausting and full of comparison. This Moment is a reminder that there is no one right way to do motherhood or ambition, only what works for you. In this Moment, they explore: Why motherhood often makes careers feel more “squiggly” How ambition can stay alive after becoming a mother Using values to make confident, intentional decisions If you’ve ever felt judged for what you want after having children or are unsure how to honour both your ambition and your family, this Moment is for you.

    • MOMENT | Daily Resets: The Small Habits That Stop Motherhood Feeling Overwhelming

      MOMENT | Daily Resets: The Small Habits That Stop Motherhood Feeling Overwhelming
      Feb 16 2026
      What if staying on top of home life didn’t require doing more, but doing a few small things consistently? In this Motherkind Moment, Zoeis joined by Ingrid Jansen, co-founder of The Declutter Hub, to talk about daily resets and non-negotiables – a simple, realistic way to stop life at home from constantly tipping into overwhelm. Ingrid shares why having a handful of everyday tasks that always get done – like clearing the sink, loading the dishwasher, or running one load of laundry – can completely change how your home feels. Not because everything is perfect, but because you’re no longer starting each day already behind. They talk about how short, regular resets (just 10–15 minutes, once or twice a day) can support tired mums, especially in busy seasons where decision fatigue is high, and energy is low. This isn’t about rigid routines or unrealistic standards – it’s about doing small things that make life feel calmer for your future self. The conversation also explores toys, clutter, and the mental load of “stuff” – from organising play spaces in age-appropriate ways, to decluttering gently over time, to managing the constant influx of gifts. Ingrid shares why less really can be more for both children and parents, and how involving kids (and partners) builds shared responsibility rather than burnout. This is a compassionate, practical conversation for any mother who feels overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list – and wants things to feel just a little lighter. In this Moment, they explore: Daily resets and non-negotiables that reduce overwhelm Why small, consistent habits help your future self Toys, clutter, and creating calmer spaces at home If you’ve ever thought, “I just want things to feel more manageable,” this Moment is for you.
