“Life changing” Red Magazine

“An important and impressive book, that will change how you experience motherhood” Dr Julie Smith

Modern motherhood is insane. We’re expected to parent perfectly, bounce back, enjoy every moment, forge ahead at work and keep smiling through all the endless expectations – all whilst forgetting about ourselves.

Based on years of research, proven transformational coaching tools, world-leading expertise from hundreds of podcast guests such as Dr Gabor Mate, Philippa Perry, and Dr Becky Kennedy, and real-life stories from the Motherkind community, this validating, judgement-free book will help you to:

  • Understand the pressures of modern motherhood, and why you’re not failing
  • Support yourself through the daily ups and downs
  • Change your relationship with guilt, and finally feel good enough
  • Handle your challenging emotions and reactions in a new way
  • Learn why ‘self-care’ doesn’t work – and what does
  • Ditch the idea of ‘balance’ and embrace boundaries instead

This empowering book will give you the tools you need to thrive in modern motherhood and become your happiest self – for yourself and your children.

About the Author

Zoe Blaskey is a mother, a transformational coach (with a six-month waitlist for one-to-one work), and the host of The Motherkind Podcast. After an anxious and depressive breakdown in her early twenties, Zoe turned to experts for help, reading and educating herself on how to be her best self, and the best mother. She enrolled in a year long course with the US's top parenting psychologist Dr Shefali, and trained as a transformational coach with The Mindful Talent Academy. Then, she decided to share her newfound knowledge to help others. Starting with a basic microphone and a recording schedule slotted in around nap times, the Motherkind Podcast now has nearly 200 episodes and 4 million downloads.
