Have you been quietly wondering if your career still fits your life? Not because you’re ungrateful. Not because you’ve failed. But because something in you has changed.

In this honest and reassuring solo episode, Zoe Blaskey speaks directly to the mother who feels stuck, restless, or ready for something different.

After becoming a mother, Zoe completely changed careers — leaving her previous path, building Motherkind, retraining as a transformational coach, and becoming an author. In this episode, she shares the practical framework that helped her move from confusion to clarity.

Because wanting to change careers after children isn’t selfish. It’s normal.

Nearly half of mothers say they want to change jobs after having children — because motherhood shifts your priorities, your time, your identity and your definition of success.

In this episode, Zoe shares the tools that helped her find direction:

. Why following your energy is more powerful than “following your passion”

. How to redefine success for this season of life

. The powerful “dream day” exercise to create clarity

. Why you’re not starting from scratch (and nothing is wasted)

. How tiny career experiments bring clarity faster than overthinking

This episode isn’t about quitting your job tomorrow. It’s not about blowing up your life.

It’s about taking small, aligned steps toward work that fits who you are now.

Zoe explains why clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder — it comes from taking action. From running small experiments. From testing ideas before committing to them, allowing change to happen gradually, in parallel with family life.

If you’ve been asking yourself:

. Should I change careers after having a baby?

. How do I find purpose in motherhood?

. What work fits around family life?

. How do I figure out what I actually want?

This episode will leave you feeling calmer, clearer and more capable.

Because you are not behind.You are not stuck.You are evolving.

And it’s allowed to look different now.

If you’re ready to think differently about ambition and motherhood, you’re in the right place

What if confidence comes because you start, not before?

In this energising, honest conversation, Zoe sits down with entrepreneur and personal branding expert Amelia Sordell to talk about visibility, ambition, and building a career alongside motherhood.

Amelia shares how she grew, and later closed a multi-million-pound agency, rebuilt her career on her terms, and now helps women stop shrinking and start backing themselves.

This episode is for mothers who want more — but feel overwhelmed about where to begin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

. What personal branding really means (beyond social media)

. How small career experiments build confidence fast

. Practical ways to grow visibility — even on a career break

. Why action beats overthinking every timeHow to redefine success around freedom, not status

Amelia also opens up about juggling motherhood and business, burnout, and having the courage to walk away from success that no longer felt aligned.

This is an episode about courage.About choosing yourself.About just getting started.

Because you are not “just a mum.”And you don’t need permission to build something extraordinary.

Welcome to the new era of Motherkind.

This is a new chapter. More intentional. More expansive. The conversations are deeper, the guests are bold, and the ambition is clearer.

We’re now video-first, which means you can watch every full episode on ⁠YouTube⁠. I’d love you to subscribe and join us in this next season of Motherkind.

If you’re ready to think differently about ambition and motherhood, you’re in the right place.

Confidence isn’t a personality trait — it’s a skill. And it can be rebuilt faster than you think.

In this practical, empowering solo episode, Zoe shares the simple shifts that helped her go from losing all her confidence in early motherhood to feeling stronger and more self-assured than ever.

After interviewing hundreds of experts and writing extensively on confidence, Zoe breaks down the tiny daily habits that genuinely move the needle — no fluff, no toxic positivity, no “bounce back” pressure.

Because confidence doesn’t come from massive life overhauls. It’s built through small, repeatable actions that compound over time.

In this episode, Zoe shares:

. Why comparison quietly destroys confidence — and how to stop doing it

. The subtle language habits that make you feel smaller (and what to say instead)

. How setting boundaries strengthens self-worth

. The powerful body-language trick backed by social psychology

. Why celebrating tiny wins rewires your brain for confidence

These are micro-habits you can start today — in the next hour — that will create lasting change over the months ahead.

If you’ve been feeling less confident since becoming a mother, this episode is your reminder:

You’re not broken.You don’t need fixing. You just need tools that actually work in real life.

If you’re ready to think differently about ambition and motherhood, you’re in the right place.

To open this new season, Zoe sits down with Maria Hatzistefanis, founder of Rodial and Nip + Fab, for a powerful conversation on discipline over motivation, burnout, guilt, and why hustle culture is failing mothers.

Maria built her business over 25 years without external funding, without selling out, and without buying into hustle culture myths. But behind the glossy success was burnout, guilt, lost friendships, imposter syndrome and discipline most people never see.

This conversation is honest, practical and deeply reassuring for any mother navigating ambition and family.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

. Why “overnight success” is a dangerous myth

. How motherhood made Maria a better, not weaker, leader

. The season she had no friends, and what she’d do differently

. The simple two-question filter she uses before saying yes

. Why discipline builds confidence (not the other way round)

. How to start a business in just 30 minutes a day

. Why guilt is the biggest drain on your energy and how to drop it

Maria also shares the mindset from her latest book, How to Make Your First Million, including her practical framework for managing time, building powerful networks, and creating sustainable success that works alongside family life, not against it.

This is a conversation about ambition without apology. About building slowly, intentionally and sustainably. And about redefining success on your own terms.

If you’ve ever wondered: Can I build something meaningful without burning out?

This episode is for you.
