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 dynamic's 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 own 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 Connelly.

Welcome to the first new Motherkind episode of 2025! It's time to enjoy the blank sheet of the new year and think ahead to what this year can bring. But it's also good to step away from two things: setting resolutions and the 'new year new you' messaging. In this episode, Zoe shows us why this mindset doesn't work and instead breaks down the best ways to set goals so that we can become happier, more fulfilled and bursting with self-belief to achieve whatever we want to in 2025.

Sign up here to Zoe's course on achieving your goals in 2025 without the overwhelm - going live on Thursday January 16th at 1pm.

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

This week’s moment is with Philippa Perry who many of you know and love. She wrote that incredible book - The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

This clip is so powerful. In it, she shares the truth about feelings, especially anger, and why it is vital for us parents to be able to feel our own feelings so then we can help our children do it.

As we often talk about on the podcast, being able to connect to our feelings and help our children do that is the foundation for emotional health which we know is a massive indicator of how happy we are in our lives.

In December, we take a break from recording new episodes and re-release the most loved episodes from the year. So if you haven't listened to this episode before, enjoy - and if you have, enjoy again.

Today's episode is a special one because it was recorded live, in front of an audience, at Fearne Cotton's Happy Place Festival - and it was amazing to record a podcast there. Our guest was the incredible Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and best-selling author. We chatted about her new book, 'The Uncomfortable Truth. This is a must-listen if you're someone who has a tendency towards anxiety, if you're a people pleaser, or you find it hard to find perspective in the busyness of life.

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

This week we are talking about family dynamics. Is it possible to have a drama-free Christmas.

Family dynamics can get so tricky at Christmas. Your family know how to push your buttons because they put them there. If you find it triggering and hard, perhaps it is because of what has been set up by our caregivers and the people around us in our early years. Throw in alcohol and high expectations, it isn’t surprising we get triggered over Christmas.

I really want to help you today with some tips and ideas for how you might have a more peaceful family dynamic, how not to get triggered and how to enjoy time together.

Guilt has become so normalised, so prevalent in motherhood that it even has it's own name: 'Mum Guilt'. We don't talk about 'dad guilt', or 'person guilt', or 'human guilt', so why should we allow guilt to stop us feeling like the amazing mothers that we are? In this special solo episode, Zoe shares one of her biggest passions - freeing us from unnecessary guilt. Listen to this episode to learn two life-changing tools that help us use our guilt for good, and stop us letting toxic or unproductive guilt from ruining our motherhoods.

***Trigger Warning*** We discuss graphic intrusive thoughts, so if hearing that experience might be more harmful than connecting for you, please skip that bit. It's about 10 minutes in.

In December, we walk our talk, and I take some time off recording to be with my family and recharge before next year. So I've re-released for you the most popular episodes of the past six months.

Donna has worked as a coach, a group facilitator and a therapist for more than 30 years - I cannot tell you how much I respect Donna and her work.

This is one of those episodes it's going to make you think, it's going to make you cry, and it's going to put a lot in perspective.

Donna talks about:

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Forgiving herself for how she was in the early years of her children's lives.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How much she struggled in those early days, including experiencing some pretty graphic intrusive thoughts
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How allowing herself to grieve unlocked so much healing and forgiveness
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

I'm so excited for you to hear this one. Please share this episode with any mums you know who might be struggling and need Donna's wise, warm words of hope and compassion.

Welcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

This is the last of my Christmas episodes, and ironically, it's being released on Christmas day! Today I want to help you find your joy at Christmas and discuss why we don’t always enjoy what we have created for others and how to change that this year.

The main theme over the four workshops is that we too deserve to enjoy the magic at Christmas that we are so busy creating for everyone else in our lives and how to do that.

I cover 3 reasons why it’s hard to find the joy at Christmas and 3 ways to support you so you can.

My question for you is: Can you allow yourself to feel the joy this Christmas? You deserve that and to enjoy Christmas just as much as everyone you are creating the magic for.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.

This week’s guest is the lovely Anna Mathur, psycho-therapist, best-selling author and mum of three. I’m also very grateful to be able to say a good friend of mine and a massive supporter of the podcast.

This is Anna’s 4th time on the podcast, and we recorded this episode to celebrate the launch of her 3rd book, "Raising a happier mother.", It’s a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it.

This episode is packed with incredible nuggets of insight.

We chat about:

• 
  
• How alcohol contributed to Anna’s burnout
• 
  
• Why it’s important to inject the humanness back into motherhood
• 
  
• How to work through guilt and why it comes up

Welcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

Another episode with me this week. It is the next instalment in my Christmas mini-series to help you have the happiest Christmas ever. This week we are talking about family dynamics. Is it possible to have a drama-free Christmas?

Family dynamics can get so tricky at Christmas. Your family know how to push your buttons because they put them there. If you find it triggering and hard, perhaps it is because of what has been set up by our caregivers and the people around us in our early years. Throw in alcohol and high expectations, it isn’t surprising we get triggered over Christmas.

I really want to help you today with some tips and ideas for how you might have a more peaceful family dynamic, how not to get triggered and how to enjoy time together.

I hope you find this Moment really helpful. Let me know how you can get on.

Welcome to this week’s Motherkind episode, the show that is going to help you navigate the massive challenges of life as a modern mother with more self-awareness, clarity and Confidence.

In December, we walk our talk, and I take some time off recording to be with my family and recharge before next year. So I've re-released for you the most popular episodes of the past six months. These are the episodes you loved to share with friends, you emailed about and deemed to be the most helpful.

This week’s episode is with Lucy Jones. She is an investigative journalist, and award-winning author and has just written a new book called Matrescence.

Matresence is one of my favourite words and subjects ever. It describes the process of becoming a mother - the confusing discombobulating cocktail of emotions that happens when we transition from woman to mother.

All the physical, emotional and spiritual changes. A bit like the transition from teenager to adult.

Listen to hear about:

• 
  
• What matresence means and its anthropological roots
• 
  
• Our position as a mother in today’s society and how it’s geared to be against mothers
• 
  
• Why we need more support in society and Lucy’s thoughts on how we can receive that
• 
  

If only all mothers knew this word, I think we would have found it so much easier to be kind to ourselves, knowing it’s meant to be a bumpy journey.

We found the perfect expert - Dr Smantha Hiew, who is a mum of two and was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 40. She is also the founder of the award-winning platform ADHD girls. 

Listen to learn: 

• Why is there a huge rise of women being diagnosed with ADHD?
• What are the characteristics of ADHD for women?
• How does ADHD intersect with motherhood?
• How do I know if this is neurodivergence or is this just the stress of the mental and the emotional load?

And SO much more. I hope you love it. Please share it with your friends or leave a review.

Welcome back to Moment. Your moment on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

This week I am speaking with Paul Morgan-Bentley, author of “The Equal Parent” and dad to his three-year-old son. He welcomed into the world via surrogacy with his husband, Robin. As a gay dad, Paul found himself in a unique position as he took on primary caregiving and felt sick of all the praise he received for doing the basics. He saw how mothers were carrying the labour of childcare and asked why parental care is so unequal in households across the country. Is it biology? Gendered stereotypes? or something else? 

We chat about what needs to change to encourage dads to take on more care responsibilities and encourage equal parenting.

I hope you enjoy this moment episode.

• Why she feels like a completely different person now

Welcome to this week's moment episode, where I speak with the incredible Reshma Saujani, who is best known for the organisation she founded called Girls Who Code. It is one of the most influential nonprofits in the world and it has introduced millions of women to coding and the tech industry. 

During the pandemic, Reshma found herself with a 3-week-old and a pre-schooler trying to run her organisation and look after her family full-time. And that's when she broke. 

She says she spent the last 10 years telling girls to lean in and fight to get to the top; however, after her experience parenting and working during the pandemic, her message changed.

Listen to this moment episode to hear Reshma’s thoughts why we need to keep our dreams alive in Motherhood.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast, this is the show that's going to give you confidence, clarity, and connection in this wild ride of motherhood. 

Today I'm speaking to the wonderful presenter and author Cherry Healy. This is a really special episode for me, because I remember watching Cherry has a baby way before I became a mum and I just fell in love with her. She is one of those women that you just want to be friends with. She is smart, honest, funny and she's pioneered women's health and issues for decades in her TV work.

We chat about:

- Why deep down, do any of us really feel good enough?

- Boundaries, worth and purpose

- Why do we devalue what we're naturally really good at 

I think you are going to love this one. Please share this episode with two other mums for me. I think everyone needs to hear it.

Welcome to this episode of Motherkind, the show that gives you all the tools, ideas and validation you need as you navigate your life as a mother. 

Sometimes the hardest things that we face, are also the things that we most need to talk about because it's often those things that we don't have the words for. Sophie Martin, in her job as a midwife, helps women every day achieve their dream of motherhood - all while having faced unbelievable challenges on her own journey to motherhood. 

11 rounds of IVF and the tragic loss of two babies. Sophie shares with us what we all NEED to know, because even if we haven't experienced loss or IVF or miscarriage ourselves then we know someone who has.

It is so easy to say completely the wrong thing, so please share this episode. This education just isn't out there, but we can get it out there so please share this episode with at least three people in your life if you think they need to know what Sophie shares with us here.

Welcome to the motherkind podcast, which is going to help you feel more confident and less alone in the wild roller coaster that is modern motherhood. 

My guest this week is Georgie Crawford. Georgie was just at the end of her maternity leave when she first discovered a lump in her breast and what followed was a roller coaster journey of self-discovery. Georgie says that for the first time in her life, she learned how to value herself and her needs. 

Thankfully she fully recovered and is now about to become a mother again post-cancer, this time with a surrogate. 

Listen to learn:

• The mindset shift that helped Georgie finally learn to accept and ask for help
• How her garden trees made her realise she was wrong about herself 
• How to ask yourself 'Am I on the dancefloor or the balcony' of life 
• How to finally stop beating yourself up and notice all that is good in your life 

I really loved this episode and loved chatting to Georgie, she gave me SO much perspective and plugged me right back into what is really important in life.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

This week I speak with Lucy Jones. She is an investigative journalist, award-winning author and has just written a new book called Matrescence.

Matresence is one of my favourite words and subjects ever. It describes the process of becoming a mother - the confusing discombobulating cocktail of emotions that happens when we transition from woman to mother. All the physical, emotional and spiritual changes. A bit like the transition from teenager to adult.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

In this episode, I talk to Dr Samantha Hiew, who is a leading voice and expert on ADHD for women, and who was diagnosed herself aged 40 right after the birth of her second child. 

So many of our Motherkind community are being diagnosed with ADHD, wondering if they have ADHD or may be curious about it.

I asked Dr Samantha Hiew how does ADHD intersect with motherhood and whether it’s neurodivergence or the stress of carrying the mental load of motherhood.
