Ep 64 Zoe Blaskey | Empowering Motherkin...

The Self Development Coach
About this episode

In this episode, I’ll chat with the founder of MotherKind, Zoe Blaskey.


Zoe has been on a path of self-enquiry and transformation since her anxious, depressive breakdown in her early 20s.


She’s spent the last 15 years researching personal development, sitting in cold church halls in 12-step meetings, meditating with monks at sunrise, and dancing all dressed in white on an island in Sweden.


She has reached the depths of despair and risen stronger than ever before and is obsessed with helping mothers realise their potential and awaken to how much personal power they have.


Zoe recognised the pressure she was putting on herself, her perfectionism, her fear of getting it wrong, how she was silencing herself to keep the peace, and how she was losing her sense of self to what others wanted her to do.


Zoe remembers that feeling of being lost, broken and alone and now helps other mums overcome this.


She’s also the host of the massively successful ‘The Motherkind Podcast’, and today, we're going deep on how to help some of society's most important people… its mothers.


Highlights:

👉 The motherhood mindset

👉 Why you’re not broken

👉 Mum guilt

👉 Nurturing self compassion and self-trust
