Show Notes

This is Part 2 of my talk with Zoe Blaskey.

Zoe is the founder of Motherkind, a self empowerment platform for modern mums. Through Motherkind, Zoe coaches mothers of all backgrounds from Global CEO's to full time moms on how to navigate the huge challenges of modern motherhood.

Zoe hosts the Motherkind Podcast, which is the UK's number one family podcast on iTunes and speaks every week to world leading experts on a range of topics from self care, mental health, career, nutrition and parenting. The Telegraph celebrated the podcast as 'the antidote to the toxic perfectionism of modern motherhood'.

In Part 2, listen as we discuss:

  • Zoe's favorite discoveries and thinkers on parenthood.
  • Underneath the perfectionism is a yearning for love.
  • How can you be more present knowing what your child really needs?
  • Unconditional love and role reversal, my personal favorite parenting tools.
  • Children come to us whole, and we can learn just as much from them.
  • We are not responsible for children's personalities, only for not spoiling them.
  • We shouldn't smooth over the challenges of our kids.
  • Building our kids' physical and emotional resilience.
  • How many of us still want to please our parents even into old age.
  • Focus on raising yourself, too!
