The Motherkind team will be taking a short break this August to enjoy some time off over the summer.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll be re-releasing some of the most downloaded episodes in 2025 - Enjoy!

This week's episode is all about family dynamics - specifically, if you have a family member whose behaviour you struggle with. Our guest is Harriet Shearsmith, family dynamics coach and author of 'Unfollowing Mum: Break unhealthy patterns and become the parent you wish you'd had'. In this powerful episode, Harriet shares her story of how she had an unhealthy relationship with her mum, and how this has developed in her a desire to support anyone navigating a tricky family relationship. She talks about the signs of an unhealthy relationship, what to do next, how to deal with pushback, and how to find peace with the difficult people in your life.

If this episode resonates, we think you'll find so much value in our episode on toxic parents with Josh Connolly.

This is one of the most powerful conversations I have ever had on the podcast. It is still the most downloaded ever to date.

Having written a book on burnout, Dr Claire is an expert - and she tells us what the warning signs are and what you can do before you get to a full-blown crisis.

Something a bit different this week. It is with the poet Jessica Urlichs. This is her reading one of her favourite poems. I love this because it reminds us of what is really important. It is so easy to get lost in all the things that don’t really matter. This is an invitation to release some of the pressure you may be putting on yourself and come back to what is really important to you.

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. 

Today I want to explore a really simple but powerful question:

Can 5 minutes a day really transform your motherhood? 

Because what I’ve learned over the last 8 years doing this work is that we all want to be happier mothers - we want to enjoy motherhood, we want to be calm and connected with our children, we want to get the end of the day feeling grateful not resentful and guilty. 

In the episode I share:

Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead. 

In this moment, Alexi explores the tension many of us feel as mothers between ambition and family. She unpacks how the drive to achieve can be tied to ego and identity, and how true purpose can be found in the present moment—whether leading a room or at home with your children—by honouring both service and what matters most: family.

For more powerful insights from Alexi Panos, listen to the full episode here.
