AI is moving fast, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, behind, or unsure where to start, start here. 

In this episode, Zoe sits down with AI expert Georgie Barrat to cut through the noise, the hype, and the fear - and show you how to actually use AI in a way that makes your life easier (not more complicated).

From reducing the mental load at home to becoming a sharper thinker at work, this is your practical, no-nonsense guide to getting started with AI.

. Why feeling behind with AI is completely normal (even experts feel it)

. How to use AI as a thinking partner, not just a tool

. A simple way to start - without learning everything

. Practical ways to reduce your mental load at home and work

. What actually matters (vs the hype around AI right now)

You don’t need to master AI.You just need to start using it.

Because small shifts now will compound fast and the gap will grow.

Pick one task that drains your time or energy - and ask AI to help you do it better. That’s where this starts.

Do you ever feel like everyone else is moving faster than you?

Like you should be further ahead - in your career, your life, your motherhood?

This episode is your reminder that feeling isn’t truth, it’s comparison.

In this powerful solo episode, Zoe challenges the idea that there’s a “right” timeline for your life, and shows why trusting your own pace might be the most freeing thing you ever do.

Because what if you’re not behind at all… but exactly where you’re meant to be?

Why the feeling of being “behind” is so common (and where it really comes from)

How comparison - both internal and external - fuels pressure and self-doubt

Why there is no universal timeline for success, motherhood, or life

The power of thinking in seasons, not deadlines

How to feel calmer, grounded, and more confident in where you are right now

Why does no one tell you that becoming a mother changes you completely?

Not just your life but your brain, your identity, your emotions, your ambition… everything.

In this powerful solo episode, Zoe breaks down the concept of matrescence, the scientifically recognised transition into motherhood and why understanding it can completely change how you experience this season.

Because so many mothers are silently asking: Why do I feel so different? Where did the old me go? Why does this feel so hard?

This episode gives you the language, the science and the reassurance you’ve been missing.

What matrescence is and how it explains the transition into motherhood

Why do you feel lost, overwhelmed or different after having a baby

How your brain, hormones and emotions change in motherhood

Why identity loss in motherhood is normal (not a failure)

How long does the motherhood transition really last

Practical ways to support your mental health and identity through this stage

You’ll also hear why motherhood isn’t just about loss, it’s a profound transformation that can lead to deeper purpose, stronger boundaries and a clearer sense of who you are becoming.

This episode is your reminder that:

You are not failing.You are not behind.You are in the middle of becoming.

What if the thing you feel you have least time for… is actually the thing that would help you cope the most?

In this powerful Motherkind Moment, Zoe is joined by play expert Emma Worrollo, who makes a compelling and surprising case for why playfulness isn’t frivolous, it’s foundational.

Because when you’re carrying the mental load, juggling work, and just trying to get through the day, “have more fun” can feel like the most unrealistic advice in the world.

But this isn’t about adding more to your to-do list.

Emma explains why playfulness isn’t about being silly, extroverted, or endlessly positive. It’s something far more powerful - a deeply human skill that helps us become more resilient, more flexible, and better at navigating the challenges of motherhood.

In this conversation, you’ll learn why so many of us feel like we’ve “forgotten how to play”, why that’s completely normal, and how to bring small moments of lightness back into even the busiest days.

Because play isn’t just for children. It’s for you, too.

. Why playfulness is directly linked to resilience, problem-solving and emotional well-being

. The difference between play and playfulness (and why this changes everything)

. Why feeling awkward or “bad” at playing with your kids is completely normal

. Simple, realistic ways to bring more lightness into everyday motherhood

“Why am I the only one thinking about everything?”

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, resentful, or like the mental load is falling entirely on you since becoming a parent, this episode is for you.

In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe shares a powerful conversation on one of the most searched and least solved challenges in modern motherhood - the mental load, emotional labour, and how it impacts relationships after children.

Because for so many mothers, the pattern looks like this:👉 You’re holding everything in your head.👉 You feel unseen and unsupported.👉 Resentment starts to build.

And the more you wait for your partner to change… the worse it feels.

This episode offers a different way forward. One that actually works in real life.

In this Moment, you’ll learn:

Why the mental load in relationships creates resentment (and how to break the cycle)

The biggest communication mistake couples make after having kids

Why “if they loved me, they’d know” leads to frustration and disconnection

A simple, non-confrontational phrase that improves communication instantly

How to reduce resentment in your relationship without constant conflict

Why “Done is better than perfect” is key to sharing the load

You’ll also hear how shifting your communication — not controlling your partner — can transform your relationship dynamic over time.

This isn’t about lowering your standards.It’s about creating a relationship that actually works for both of you.

No one talks about this part of motherhood: the moment your old life disappears, and you don’t recognise the new one yet.

In this honest and deeply validating conversation, Zoe sits down with model and entrepreneur Jada Sezer to talk about the reality of motherhood, the identity shift, the overwhelm, and the pressure to “get back to normal.”

After having twins, Jada’s life changed overnight. What followed was a journey many mothers will recognise - trying to hold on to who you were, before realising you’re becoming someone new.

Why “having it all” is a lie we’re sold

How to navigate identity loss in early motherhood

The truth about the mental load and how to start sharing it

Why motherhood makes you a stronger leader

Letting go of “bouncing back” in your career, body and life

This is a conversation about rebuilding, not your old life, but one that fits who you are now. Because you are not behind.You are not broken.You are becoming.

If you feel exhausted, resentful, or like you’re quietly failing at motherhood, this might explain why.

In this powerful solo episode, Zoe explores the hidden force shaping how so many millennial mothers show up in their lives: good girl conditioning.

It’s the unspoken programme many of us were raised with - be nice, be agreeable, don’t complain, don’t ask for too much, put everyone else first.

And while it might have helped us succeed before children… motherhood is often where it all starts to unravel.

Because suddenly, the expectations double. The pressure increases. The support often doesn’t.

And instead of questioning the system, we question ourselves.

In this deeply validating episode, Zoe explains why you’re not failing, you’re just running a programme that was never designed for the reality of modern motherhood.

She also shares how to begin breaking free, gently, compassionately, and in a way that actually works in real life.

. Why “good girl conditioning” leads to burnout, resentment and over-giving

. Why motherhood often exposes this pattern more than any other life stage

. How to reconnect with your own needs (even if you don’t know what they are yet)

. Simple, practical ways to start breaking the pattern — one small step at a time

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding everything together while quietly falling apart…

If you struggle to ask for help, rest without guilt, or say what you really need…

This episode will help you understand why and what you can start to do differently.

Because you are not failing.

You are responding exactly as you were taught to.

And you can choose a new way 💛

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

You grow a baby.Then you give birth to a baby.And somehow you’re expected to just… carry on.

In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Zoe sits down with nutrition scientist and public health expert Dr Federica Amati to explore how motherhood transforms the female body and why proper nourishment is essential from preconception through postpartum.

Together, they unpack the science of the “first 1,000 days” from trying to conceive to toddlerhood and why this window is as important for mothers as it is for babies.

Because pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding aren’t just life moments, they are physiologically intense, nutrient-depleting experiences that require real recovery, support and care.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

Why preconception nutrition matters more than we realise

How partners’ health impacts fertility and baby outcomes

What to focus on nutritionally during each trimester

Why postpartum recovery is like running multiple marathons

Practical ways to nourish your body when you’re exhausted

The importance of rest, support and spacing pregnancies

Dr Federica also challenges the myth of “bouncing back” and explains why physical change is a natural and healthy part of matrescence.

This episode is a compassionate reminder that mothers are not machines.

You deserve nourishment.You deserve recovery.You deserve support.

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.
