Zoe shares her personal journey into motherhood, and how the challenges she faced inspired her to question societal expectations and support others navigating similar paths.</p><p>We talk about “matrescence” — the identity shift that happens when a woman becomes a mother — and the emotional, hormonal and relational changes that come with it. Zoe opens up about burnout, the inner critic, and why self-kindness is so essential in parenthood. Whether you're a mother or not, this is a conversation about compassion, identity, and healing that resonates far beyond motherhood.</p><p><br></p><p>Find Zoe:</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.motherkind.co/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.motherkind.co</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/zoeblaskey/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@zoeblaskey</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Podcast:</strong> <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/38SHvE9JBV9mfCRKzSjYEN\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Motherkind Podcast on Spotify</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Motherkind Book</strong>: <a href=\"https://amzn.eu/d/3r2NUyU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://amzn.eu/d/3r2NUyU</a></p><p><br></p><p>Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:</p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hurttohealingpod?igsh=aW9yeDl5OHV6bm9r&amp;utm_source=qr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">instagram.com/hurttohealingpod</a></p><p><strong>TikTok: </strong><a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpod?_t=ZN-8vFzLPIpcYQ&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpod</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn: </strong><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healing/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healing</a></p><p><strong>Substack: </strong><a href=\"https://substack.com/@hurttohealing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">substack.com/@hurttohealing</a></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href=\"https://www.hurttohealing.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hurttohealing.co.uk</a></p>","author_name":"Pandora Morris"}
