• MOMENT | THIS will help you when you feel like you are drowning in parenthood, with Jess Our Mama Village

  Motherkind Moment is your place for calm, connection, and a shift in perspective before the week ahead.  This week’s Moment is with Jess Vanderwier, Registered Psychotherapist, Mum of two and founder of Our Mama Village. In this clip, we explore the importance of giving ourselves permission to slow down when it comes to healing and re-parenting work. So often, parents feel pressure to “do it all” at once, reflecting on childhood wounds, repairing with our kids, and practising self-regulation—while also juggling the daily demands of parenthood. Using the powerful metaphor of “life jacket approaches,” we talk about how, in seasons of survival (like the early days with little ones), sometimes what we really need is simply to stay afloat. Only once we’re floating, no longer consumed by the waves, do we have the capacity to dive deeper into the bigger healing and re-parenting work.  This conversation is a gentle reminder: you don’t have to do everything at once. It’s okay to just keep yourself afloat until you’re ready for more. To listen to the full episode with Jess, listen here.

• MOMENT | Why ignoring your anger doesn't work - and what does with Sarah Ockwell-Smith

  Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead.  This week’s Moment is with Sarah Ockwell-Smith, mother of four and one of the UK’s most well-known parenting experts. In this clip, Sarah opens up about her powerful realisation that, for most of her life, she had been the “good girl”, pushing down her emotions and keeping busy doing what she thought she should do. I know so many of you will relate to that. She bravely shares how recognising this pattern and choosing to change it set her free to experience more joy, calm, presence, and a deeper connection with herself and those around her.

• I've spent 30,000 hours supporting women to feel healthier, and here’s one thing I wish every woman knew...

  Welcome to Motherkind, we are proudly sponsored by Wild Nutrition Women’s supplements, I am your host Zoe Blaskey and this is the show that is going grab you by the hand and be your guide through the wild ride that is modern motherhood. Every week I bring you world leading experts and thinkers to give us new ideas, new tools, new support, new inspiration for our lives as mothers - we span everything from work to relationships to mental health and healing to parenting. And I am very happy you are here.   Let’s talk about nutrition, but realistic nutrition, because let’s face it we need it to be quick + easy and make a massive difference. Today’s episode is how to make tiny shifts in the right direction with your nutrition that is going to help you feel more energy, less exhaustion, brain fog and stress. Yes, what you’re eating has a massive impact on how you’re able to handle stress.  As you know I partner with Wild Nutrition a brand I absolutely love, so I asked the Head of Nutrition at Wild Nutrition to come on - Isabelle Nunn is a registered clinical nutritional therapist with a Masters in Pharmacy, she brings over 15 years of experience in nutrition and healthcare. She is also a Mother of 2 - age 7 and 4.5 - so she knows what she’s talking about personally and professionally.  I am so excited for you to hear this episode - Isabelle reveals the simple swaps we can all make to reset our energy - especially focusing on breakfast + hydration - did you know even being 1% dehydrated can cause you cognitive issues (grabs glass of water immediately)  We also talk about family dinners that pack in the nutrition - lots of inspiration there and why cutting back on sugar can have such a massive impact on your energy  I think we all know what we “should” doing when it comes to nutrition but this episodes really helps to bridge the gap between knowledge and practicality - because the knowledge is useless unless we actually make some small changes.  So here is it  - hope you love it.  Click Here to order your copy of 'Motherkind: A New Way to Thrive in a World of Endless Expectations’ Motherkind is sponsored by Wild Nutrition, the brand raising the bar for women’s supplements.
