• This episode will change how you feel about looking after yourself - with Annalie Howling

  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.   I am so glad you're here because after listening to this episode, you are going to feel so much more confident, you are going to hear some incredible wisdom + truths that will finally give you permission to go for your joy, to start asking for what you need too and to start believing in yourself. There are certain episodes on this podcast that I just know are landing at the right time, with the right message and this one of those episodes. So get ready.  My guest today is Annalie Howling: Annalie is a globally sought-after performance coach, trauma specialist, and now author of Unapologetic: Unshackle Your Shame. Reclaim Your Power. A book which I inhaled in one night and absolutely loved.  What is going to change your life from this conversation is how conditioned we are as women, especially as mothers, to keep small, to keep giving to others and ignore ourselves, to feel full of shame and guilt and how none of that - none of it - serves us or our children.  We talk about:  The exact moment Annalie knew she had to leave her marriage  The pain she had from wearing a mask of perfection, and how to know if you’re doing the same thing  Why caring for yourself is vital for your children  How the “good girl” runs deep - and how it keeps us apologetic and resentful  What boundaries really are, and how learning how to say no is the number one skill we need in motherhood  This episode is incredible.

• MOMENT | Take a moment of calm with poet Jess Urlichs

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